[BLOG] SA advertising is no longer limited to large corporates - small businesses meet creative freelancers
With the prominent economic recessions, many companies have had to tighten the belt when it comes to marketing spend. One of the hardest hit entities are small businesses. Creative Portal is South Africa's most cutting-edge online platform where small businesses and creative freelancers come together in a mutually beneficial working environment.
Creative Portal is one of South Africa's most cutting-edge creative outsourcing portals, servicing companies as well as freelancers across the country. Creative Portal is where the two meet - It's a platform that allows local companies to post short-term projects for South African freelancers within the creative industry. All jobs are posted, delivered and completely managed online by both the freelancer and the client.
Creative Portal is the solution for small businesses, agencies and creative freelancers:
. Small businesses will gain access to creative and strategic resources
. Creative freelancers will get new job leads sent directly to them
. Agencies can even outsource skills to compliment their current services
Our small business/agency mission:
"To provide small businesses and agencies with access to creative and strategic resources, which will promote growth and increased success"
Our creative freelancer mission:
"To provide creative freelancers with a constant flow of job leads in order to earn a consistent income"
Creative Portal:
It all started with a random conversation between a creative freelancer and a small business owner. The discussion was focused on the limited access that small businesses have to creative resources in times of increased economic pressure, as well as the current frustration and challenges of local creative freelancers.
We conducted extensive research to understand freelancers' concerns from a local point-of-view. We also evaluated a few international business websites, which offer a similar service, and identified a few fundamental flaws in their business models. We used this information to create a truly cutting-edge South African product, which unites businesses and creative freelancers in the most mutually beneficial and efficient way.
