- Writally — Writally helps organizations and businesses transform their knowledge workers’ expertise into high-quality, thought-leading marketing content, in half the time and at less cost to the business.Companies need thought-leading, compelling content that stands out in this age of information overload and to do that effectively, they need to empowerknowledge workers to create this content. The problem is, it takes a long time to create quality marketing content such as blog posts, emails, podcasts, and social media posts. The average marketer, who is over-stretched already due to increasing demand for content, spends between 3 to 6 hours creating a quality blog post (not including expert interviews), & for knowledge workers who aren’t used to creating customer-facing content, it can take even longer. If a knowledge worker spent just 6 hours a week creating content, that would be $12k a year per employee cost to the company (based on a $80K a year salary).Writally solves this problem by providing knowledge workers with content recipes. A recipe is a structural framework customized by purpose, style and voice.All the writer has to do is fill in a simple online questionnaire on our app, and a blog post recipe that is specifically tailored to their needs is created and delivered to their dashboard. Writers no longer have to think about how to write a blog post. It’s all laid out for them. They just write their content and follow the recipe step-by-step.

- ImageBrief — ImageBrief is an online marketplace that connects image buyers with a global network of professional photographers. Buyers can post a brief for an immediate image requirement and photographers submit images that are tailored to the buyer's request.Targeted at advertising agencies, marketing departments, magazines and graphic designers,ImageBrief provides an alternative solution for image buyers who no longer wish to spend hours trawling through image stock libraries. ImageBrief is not a stock library but is a crowd sourced buyer-driven marketplace connecting image buyers and photographers. By letting buyers outline their needs within a brief and allowing photographers to respond, it turns the traditional image buying process on its head. ImageBrief provides a new way for buyers to source rights-managed images that perfectly match their usage and exclusivity requirements. Photographers ensure that their image meets the requirements before submitting, which means buyers only see images they can actually use.ImageBrief also allows buyers and photographers to interact and collaborate directly while working on the brief. Both buyers and photographers can ask questions, provide each other with feedback, or clarify requirements. Perhaps the greatest difference however is that buyers establish their usage requirements and budget up-front. This allows photographers to understand the terms of the brief and to decide whether to respond.
