Wow, that's a lot of good companies. Do they hire designers of all levels for projects of all kinds?

Why would Coca Cola ask you to help commission a video rather than go through their normal huge ad agencies?
- Maybe it's cheaper?

Newuser: Typically, the selection process for members is based on having a quality portfolios with national or int'l work. So that really does range the kind of designers/talent we have. For smaller budget projects we work with more junior level folks for obvious reasons. It's a great resource for both clients and vendors. We're working on a product relaunch with even more features.

freddddddddd: A few reasons. For one, big brands are looking for fresh ideas. Typically, and as of late, brands are doing 60 smaller web ads vs. 6 big tv ads. As you know, almost everything made these days is made for the web, but typically the budgets for those projects are smaller - so agencies won't touch them.
To that point, we also work with a bunch of e-commerce and start up companies, since we're a start up ourselves.
