Contently Creative Network Reaches 100K Professional Freelancers
Today, Contently announced that its network of freelance content
creators has expanded to include more than 100,000 journalists, graphic
designers, photographers, researchers, content strategists, and
videographers.
"Producing the best content means being able to find the best content
creators," said Contently's vice president of content, Sam Slaughter.
"The size and quality of our network, combined with the technology we've
created to manage it, means that we are able to offer our clients
something no one else can: access to the right people in the right
places, with the right expertise to create stories that are truly unique
to their brand."
Contently freelancers have worked with thousands of top-tier
publications and brands, including The New York Times, The Atlantic, The
Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, and National Geographic. The
network includes creators and experts in dozens of different content
formats-everything from social media to longform research to film
production and editing.
Contently currently has freelancers located in more than 60 countries
and over 1,000 cities globally. For global content marketing operations
like Coca-Cola, GE, and Expedia (News - Alert), the scope of Contently's talent network
is a valuable tool for transcreation and localization services.
"The scale and expertise of Contently's talent network is a huge
differentiator for them," said Rebecca Lieb, an industry analyst. "The
majority of marketers say their biggest content marketing challenge is
their ability to source enough quality content. A global network of
talent addresses this pain point head-on."
"Contently's talent network has been a valuable resorce for
supplementing our in-house team with subject matter experts," said Rhian
Nicholson, Global Editor of JLL Real Views. "Creating insightful and
well-written articles on the big trends shaping the real estate industry
is a critical part of our content strategy for JLL Real Views. With
Contently's network of creators we're able to tap creatives who
specialise in the areas we cover and understand our objectives."
Of equal importance to the size of the network is the niche subject
matter expertise. Contently freelancers have in-depth knowledge about
topics ranging from healthcare and B2B tech to finance, cuisine,
fashion, and hundreds more. All freelancers who are selected to work
with Contently customers are closely trained, vetted, and overseen by
Contently's in-house talent team.
"Through Contently I've had the opportunity to create infographics for
great brands like GE and The Trade Desk," said Contently freelance
graphic designer Niege Borges. "As a full-time freelancer I appreciate
Contently's commitment to treating creatives fairly, including fair
pricing, prompt payment, and hands-on account management to ensure the
process goes smoothly for both the brand and the creator."
"Contently was founded during the peak of content farms exploiting
writers, paying $5 for a garbage article made for SEO robots," said
Slaughter. "The company is grounded in the idea that telling interesting
and engaging stories is hard, and the people who can do it well should
be compensated fairly for that skill. The fact that we're helping
thousands of freelancers make a living though their craft while helping
our customers share their stories is a real source of pride for us."
