There’s an interesting new outlet for your creativity that you can check out now, even thought it doesn’t go fully live until the first of the year. It’s called BootB—for branding out of the box. They list briefs: international companies looking for ideas about branding, packaging, design, promotion and other services. They also tell you how much the companies are willing to pay. You can then offer your ideas (which the companies will see without knowing from whom they came). The company picks the winner and awards the fee (minus a ten percent commission for BootB).
There are already a few major briefs listed on the site, and you can find out more there about BootB, via videos make by the founder, Pier Ludovico.
Naturally there is also no payment if you don’t win and a risk that ideas could be stolen, but so far the companies listing their needs are reputable brands. If you’re curious, have a look: www.bootb.com.
