Eyeka operates a crowdsourcing platform that connects brands and ad agencies with a community of creators who produce videos and photos based on briefs. Its community exceeds 75,000 members and in 2009 the company ran 60 campaigns for major brands and agencies including Coca-Cola, eBay, Nike, Philips, Danone and Hewlett Packard, and agencies such as Young & Rubicam and Publicis. The platform supports multiple languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese). Eyeka is based in Paris and Singapore (about 20 and 5 employees respectively) and has announced plans to open a London office. Winners selected by brands or agencies are rewarded, allowing Eyeka to deliver lower-cost creative executions while providing outsized payouts to successful contributors. Management indicated the business could have reached break-even but chose to accelerate growth and reinvest.
