For designers, illustrators, and photographers, LinkedIn just doesn't cut it. That's why Creatively was built.
Co-founded by Stacey Bendet, the CEO and founder of fashion brand alice + olivia, the start-up, which launched Tuesday, bills itself as a job platform for creatives.
There are other sites that promise the same thing, including Dribbble and Behance. Many visual artists also depend on Instagram to showcase their work and make connections. But Creatively thinks it can stand out from the crowd.

Creatively solves that," said Creatively CEO Greg Gittrich.

Yes, users can showcase their work, like they can on other platforms. But Creatively is trying to make it easier for brands to actually find and hire people for projects or positions.
Here's how that works. Say a company creates an ad. It can upload the video (up to 30 seconds) and tag the people who worked on it: the director, set designer, motion designers, etc. Those people are now connected to each other on the platform, and their involvement in the project has been verified.

Also, in a feature Instagram should pay attention to, Creatively lets users move around the tiles on their profile page to display their work however they see fit.
The original plan didn't involve launching in May. But then COVID-19 hit.
"We know what the creative community needs right now is work — and that’s why we made the decision to fast track the launch of Creatively by several months," said Bendet in a blog post.
The beta version of the website and app are free to use.
