Creativeindex.com - Directory of Creative Professionals

When companies think of creative campaigns, too often they plan one dimensionally (“we need a graphic designer”). CreativeIndex- indeed, creativity in and of itself- encourages you to think in multidimensional terms. For this reason, CreativeIndex provides a database of creative experts across a variety fields, from advertising to claymation to podcasting. Many of these professionals also engage in more than one type of activity (art direction, fashion, writing, and photography), and this forum allows them to showcase all of their talents. You simply search by name or creative trait, and a list of relevant experts show up. Every listing is linked to an external profile page that showcases their work, interests, and other information. CreativeIndex also lists job opportunities.

“Creative Professionals showcase their work on hundreds of portfolio sites and millions of personal websites. Now, for the first time, there is one central location to search these sites and find the perfect talent for whatever it is you need.”

CreativeIndex is a great search engine for people in the creative community, bringing together professionals from a handful of scattered sites.

Is there a way to standardize the profile information? Some professionals link directly to blogs, which don’t necessarily highlight past accomplishments.
