Creads operates a marketplace where companies submit ad briefs and creative freelancers or agencies complete tasks. The company uses a hybrid model in which Creads hires project managers so clients interact only with Creads while work is done by its community. Founded in 2008, Creads has 25 employees across France, Spain and Japan and works with a community of 50,000 creative people; it serves clients from 50 countries. The company has launched an English-first vertical and plans to open a U.S. office to gain market share in the American market. The $4.1 million (€3 million) round will help Creads handle more projects simultaneously and support its international growth. Creads aims to become the dominant professional social network for creative people, described as a Behance of advertising.
