™ideablender

Founded in 2010, ideablender is where organizations turn to solve problems that matter

It allows organizations to overcome the barriers of building solutions from start to finish, including cost, resources and outside perspectives

Team backgrounds consist of business consultants, strategists, designers, artists, marketing and financial

— realize a true ROI on innovation —


WHAT’S DIFFERENT?Cost is a fraction of traditional in house or outsourced efforts

Employ hundreds, thousands, and even millions of creative minds to collaborate with and work toward a common goal

Individuals who may not know all the facts or data surrounding a problem may actually generate more creativity, thereby arriving at better solutions

Not limited by company constraints or organizational policies

Rewarded on a per-solution basis rather than through a standard salary or hourly rate

Very Collaborative - new national and global business partners

— a different process for better results —
