What is The IdeaLists?top

The IdeaLists is a marketplace for top creative professionals and clients in marketing and media.

We provide:
- A platform matching creative needs with the best solutions
- A more open playing field for members looking to bridge industries and explore new opportunities
- A full suite of services to clients in need of idea execution and talent recruitment

Who is using this site? Is it some form of crowdsourcing platform?top

We make matches; we don't source crowds.

Our community is invite-only. Invites are provided to communications professionals and companies that have proven portfolios of work at a national or international level. You can apply for membership through our homepage.

As opportunities in our marketplace range in value from a few thousand dollars to a few million dollars, we are very much a one-size-fits-all platform. Members range from freelancers all the way to global agencies.

Do you provide custom services?top

We provide three levels of service:

1 You post your need and find the best solution via members that express interest. This service is free.
2 We craft your brief and match you with the best talent and solutions from our network. Then we step out of the way and let you get to work. For this service we charge a commission. Not unlike traditional agents, our commission is generally 10%. This fee is paid by project recipient, with no cost incurred by the client.
3 We provide all-in creative services: we craft the brief, provide the best solutions and oversee execution. Fees are based on scope of work.

How can I maintain confidentiality and protect my intellectual property?top

We take concrete steps to protect your information. You can keep your post confidential behind our NDA walls until it's ready to share with relevant, authorized talent. The site also maintains records of correspondence as added protection.

But if you’re still not convinced or you are not interested in sharing with our network, get in touch and we can discuss one-to-one matchmaking solutions.
