Mekong Delta is happy to announce the launch of a campaign for a new online community for creative people in the city of Portland, Oregon (that’s a huge number of people)…and it’s called Vizodo.
What is this? Well, prompted by Mekong Delta‘s move to Portland last year to continue our music coverage, reviewing, previewing and record label, we saw a gap in the market for a space online where creative people across many disciplines, not only music, can collaborate with each other.
We know that musicians are super creative people and they know designers or artists (and some ARE themselves) so they can create merch, but if you need any promotional pics do you know a good photographer? Or what about a creative video to accompany your new single? Maybe you’re a filmmaker looking to soundtrack your short film, know any musicians who can help? Or you’re a writer looking to work with musicians, review shows or get your script made into a movie. What about designers/artists seeking to get their work seen as album artwork or posters?
The scenarios are only limited by your diverse talents. What we’ve suggested here is the tip of a very big iceberg!
Vizodo wants you all (bands, photographers, artists, writers, filmmakers, designers etc.) to set up your profile online and then members can post their collaborative projects to the site OR contact each other directly. So far so social community…
What we also want you to do is promote yourself on your profile, in your store (sell physical and digital items online – music, art, prints, commissioned pieces), list your shows and events, add galleries to showcase your work, add music to stream…you have the flexibility to do pretty much anything.
Yes, there is Myspace, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Facebook, specialist gallery sites, lists and personal websites but Vizodo is the ONLY place that brings these creative talents together with a unique opportunity to work in collaboration alongside other creative people!
And it’s FREE to sign up and join in.
Also, whilst you’re being creative the public will be viewing your profiles, events and show listings, browsing the stores and everything else Vizodo offers so you’ll really be telling everyone how talented you are, where they can see you play or exhibit your work and how they can help you too.
We’re focusing on building the Vizodo community and the website itself (all the tech and design things) but in true collaborative fashion we also need your help to spread the word and raise the initial funds to start this project successfully.
So, let the collaboration commence, let’s make Vizodo the vibrant creative community we know it can be.
Hit us up here for more information, donate to the campaign, use the social links below to Like Vizodo via Facebook or Tweet the fundraising campaign details to your friends and colleagues whether they’re creative people themselves or if they love going to galleries and shows.
