3. What Makes The Connect Different?

The Connect is not built to replicate existing platforms. It exists because many of those platforms do not serve creatives fairly.

Here’s what makes The Connect different.


Paid work only

All opportunities on The Connect are funded before they go live.
Creatives are never asked to work for exposure or unpaid “opportunities”.



No follower-led discovery

Follower counts are not used to rank or prioritise creatives.
Discovery is based on relevance, participation, and creative work, not popularity.



Funded invites before publishing

Brands must fund opportunities before publishing them.
This protects creatives and ensures serious intent.



Open access across disciplines

The Connect is not limited to one industry or format.
Creatives can discover and collaborate across disciplines.



Creative-first by design

The platform is built to respect creative time, energy, and labour.
Systems exist to support creativity, not exploit it.
