Startup of the Week - Minty

Minty - The online collaboration platform for art buyers and illustration professionals...
If you’ve ever had to source a creative for a project - be that an illustrator or an animator, chances are it wasn’t that easy a task. You may have had to continually ask around for recommendations or spent an age trawling online in a bid to find the perfect creative for your project. And since visual content is more important now than ever before, you know you need to make the right decision when it comes to sourcing your artwork. Well the good news is that our latest startup of the week is on a mission to make the entire sourcing and buying task a whole lot easier. Minty is an online platform which “connects illustration professionals with the planet's best publishers, designers and Art Directors”.
If you’re a creative, simply register an account and upload details of your work - secure in the knowledge that every image that you upload is protected by watermark. Your Minty account will therefore become a portfolio and showcase of your work and a place where you can be discovered by potential clients.
If you are one of those potential clients, you can use Minty in a number of ways. Firstly, in a straightforward manner, you can browse the platform and search directly for an artist. Or, you can instead post details of a job or project and artists of your preferred style will be notified and engage with you about the job. You can also create an assignment and effectively directly brief or commission an artist to complete your project. Alternatively you can purchase some of the ready-made images which artists may have uploaded.
Minty handles the entire communication and collaboration process between artists and project owners and is therefore pretty much a one stop shop!
For artists, Minty is the perfect place to showcase their work, gain new clients and in turn grow their income and revenue.
For professional art-buyers - whether they are independent freelancers or large scale publishing houses or media agencies, Minty is the perfect place to source quality artwork and to collaborate with artists to create the best visual content.
In essence then, Minty is a win win for all concerned.
Artists and art buyers - get on this!
