Designers: the Freelance Nation !

<p> Let me tell you about <strong>Creative Professionals Worldwide</strong>, a project that's gonna have <strong>a great positive impact on a world community of human beings : the Creatives ! </strong>Graphic designers, web designers, developers, photographers, illustrators, architects, writers, industrial designers, scenographers, textile designers, communication consultants, social media experts, etc...</p> <p>  </p> <p> How ? <strong>By providing them with work and revenus</strong> ! That project is about designing an innovative job marketplace for freelance creatives: <strong>www.creativeprofessionalsworldwide.com. A website to efficiently connect freelance creatives to companies looking for professionals to design their communication tools. </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>A job marketplace in line with a new world that's already in motion: the world of freelance workers...the "Freelance Nation" !</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>« A job marketplace for Freelancers ? Nothing new. » </u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> True: job marketplaces for Freelancers are nothing new. Some of you may even use them.</p> <p>  </p> <p> However, after 8 years working in the creative industry, I'm not convinced by those job marketplaces some of which serve our industry's interests badly.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>« So what ?» A win-win disruptive project !  </u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The job</strong> <strong>marketplace I'm talking about is based upon a community of 1000 Members</strong>, Freelancers as well as other creative experts, from <strong>75 nationalities and 45 countries. A virtual but also a real community</strong> : in Paris, Sydney, Copenhagen and other cities around the world, Members from Creative Professionals Worldwide do meet and broaden their professional network !</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Imgp7125" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/25702/IMGP7125.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> That job marketplace is <strong>innovative, efficient and fair</strong>. Have a look by yourself :</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/66049034" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> You see ? <strong>Through that job marketplace:</strong></p> <p> <strong>1. the creatives will get more revenues:</strong></p> <p> - as Freelancers contracted by companies for job assignments</p> <p> - as operational creative experts financially rewarded to assess applicants for the companies: that's truly innovative !</p> <p> <strong>2. the companies will save time and money: </strong>who's best than an operational professional to judge of the ability of a peer to complete a job for a client? That's even more innovative !</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>When you support my project, not only do you support an entrepreneur,</strong> or a female entrepreneur for the most "girl-power"-minded ;-) But <strong>you support the whole world community of creative professionals</strong> ! Can't you hear that community call for your support ? Listen more carefully...</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/65568066" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>When you support my project, you're helping the world job market. You create economic growth and value ! In a word, you're fighting against the world crisis: in your way, you're becoming a SUPER HEROE </strong><strong>!</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>You need more proofs that project is going to be successful? </strong></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> Do you know that this year, <strong>90% of the US- and EU-based companies will hire a Freelancer ? And that 1 worker in 3 will be hired online ? THIS is the "Freelance Nation" !  </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Need more proofs? Then listen to the following testimonials by Jean-Michel Ledru, Head of EDHEC Young Entrepreneurs, a start-up company incubator Creative Professionals Worldwide will be supported by for the upcoming 3 years. Also listen to Fabrice Marmousez, a Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, both of them being experts in company creation and development.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/66884365" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/66884364" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Our world needs creativity and design: support the creatives, support our project of building a job marketplace for the creative industry ! <strong>So, are you gonna be part of that new world? </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>I wanted to </em>say <em>a SUPER BIIIIIIIG THANK YOU to the talented creative team from our Community that designed the videos you can see on this page:</em></p> <p> - <em>Paris-based French Architecture Photographer &amp; Video Maker <a href="http://www.creativeprofessionalsworldwide.com/profile/AntoineHuot?xg_source=profiles_memberList#.UayniJy9Z_M" target="_blank">Antoine Huot</a></em></p> <p> <em>- </em><em>Paris-based </em><em>Italian Communication Consultant &amp; Coach <a href="http://" target="_blank">Attilio Cossu</a></em></p> <p> <em>- Paris-based Italian Scenographer &amp; Costume Designer &amp; Illustrator &amp; Video Maker <a href="http://www.creativeprofessionalsworldwide.com/profile/enzoiorio?xg_source=profiles_memberList" target="_blank">Enzo Iorio</a></em></p> <p> <em>- München-based German Graphic &amp; Motion Designer <a href="http://www.creativeprofessionalsworldwide.com/profile/evhenke?xg_source=profiles_memberList#.Uaynp5y9Z_M" target="_blank">Ev Henke</a></em></p> <p> <em>- </em><em>Paris-based </em><em>French Sound &amp; Music Designer <a href="http://www.creativeprofessionalsworldwide.com/profile/NicolasLordier?xg_source=profiles_memberList#.Uaym85y9Z_M" target="_blank">Nicolas Lordier @Ohmwork</a></em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Also a big thank you to the Freelancers of our Community that acted in the video you can see on this page:</em></p> <p> <em>Spanish Photographer &amp; Graphic Designer Andrea Bravo, </em><em>Chilean Graphic Designer Catalina Giron, </em><em>French Space Designer David Durand, </em><em>Australian Photographer Des Harris, </em><em>Italian Scenographer &amp; Costume Designer &amp; Video Maker Enzo Iorio, </em><em>French Copywriter &amp; Communication Consultant Hélène Charbonnier, </em><em>Swedish Architect Helene Lenartsson-Drouin, </em><em>Typeface Designer Jean-Baptiste Levée, </em><em>French Textile Designer Luc Besson, </em><em>British Photographer Peter Winfield, </em><em>French Photographer Pierre-Elie de Pibrac, French Photographer Sammy Georges, </em><em>French Product Designer Sandra Biaggi</em><em>.</em></p>

Allocation of funds

<p> <strong><u>The targeted 10 000€</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Today, Creative Professionals Worldwide is a social network for the creative industry. It's a Community of 1 000 Members, Freelancers as well as other creative professionals, from 75 nationalities, based in 45 countries</strong>. A virtual but also a real Community : in Paris, Sydney, Copenhagen and various other cities around the world, our Members meet and broaden their professional network !</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Today, Creative Professionals Worldwide is also a website : <a href="http://www.creativeprofessionalsworldwide.com">www.creativeprofessionalsworldwide.com</a></strong>. That website was built based upon an online platform that made it possible for me to create and manage a social network with the help of relevant community features.</p> <p>  </p> <p> However, those features are not fitted for a job marketplace. <strong>Objective of my crowdfunding campaign is to build my own website and offer our users the following features:</strong></p> <p> <em><strong>1. "job marketplace": </strong></em></p> <p> - Client Space where companies could follow their selection process properly</p> <p> - Expert Space for a lean online voting process</p> <p> - Automated application, voting and payment process</p> <p> - Sophisticated Freelance profile page</p> <p> - High standards of confidentiality levels</p> <p> <strong><em>2. "social network", </em></strong><em>current features</em> :</p> <p> - Directory</p> <p> - Forums</p> <p> - InMail</p> <p> - Chat </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>So far, I've managed to collect €10 000 from my relatives and myself. Another €10 000 are missing to start building the new website as of this summer and hire 3 freelance creatives: 1 web designer, 1 developer, 1 integrator. </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>Over €10 000 ? </u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Should I manage to raise over €10 000 through that crowdfunding campaign, we could develop more features like a bank escrow where the client company would make a desposit corresponding to the budget of the freelance job assignment; that way, the assignment would be secured for the creative.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>We need you to make that venture happen :-)</strong></p>
