🔮 Our Analysis
Job hunting as a creative on traditional job-hunting websites can be difficult. Your resume is highly focused on your artistic portfolio, a feature that is lacking on traditional professional sites like LinkedIn or Indeed. Creatively’s solution is to offer highly tailored features to creatives and brands, allowing creatives to put their best foot forward and brands to paint an accurate picture of the styles and work they’re looking for. Some of the features it offers aren’t necessarily unique. Websites like Behance from Adobe are competitors to Creatively, and provide creatives the ability to curate a portfolio as well as apply to relevant jobs. But few platforms outside Creatively provide features that help brands find creatives, as opposed to just helping creatives find brands. Additionally, features like CreativelyPay (a same-day bank payment option) help creatives efficiently facilitate commission payments, which is especially important for creatives given how variable income can be. All this, combined with co-founder Stacey Bendet’s influential status in the designer community, makes us optimistic toward Creatively’s future redefining how creatives find jobs.
