In my professional career, I've been involved in many projects to develop a new corporate identity. You search a designer with a trackrecord that coincides with your taste. You agree on a price (sometimes tens-of-thousands euro's), then you receive 3-4 ideas as sketches, you choose one to develop further and in the course of several months the design is finetuned untill there is complete agreement. With PimTim you get hundreds of ideas in a wide variety of tastes. Some will stand out and catch your eye immediately. A few rounds of comments and star rating will polish your favourites to the level you really want. The hardest part is choosing between the final candidates as at that point, the finalists are all good. We're very happy with our final choice, and at a price that is somewhat embarressing if you compare it to the way this process worked in the old days.

Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics (AMT) N.V. (Euronext: AMT) used the crowdsource-platform PimTim successfully to design their packaging design for the gene therapy Glybera®.

The contest for Glybera®’s packaging design, which ran three weeks, resulted in submission of 407 designs from 112 designers, from more than twenty countries.
‘This way of doing business reflects the innovative style at AMT’, says Janneke de Wal, director Global Marketing & Sales. ’PimTim offers an efficient platform to work with designers. It is amazing to see the quality of the designs and we are pleased with the final results.’

About Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics

AMT has a unique gene therapy platform that to date appears to circumvent many if not all of the obstacles that have prevented gene therapy from becoming a mainstay of clinical medicine. Using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors as the delivery vehicle of choice for therapeutic genes, the company has been able to design and validate what is probably the first stable and scalable AAV production platform. As such, AMT’s proprietary platform holds tremendous promise for thousands of rare (orphan), especially diseases that are caused by one faulty gene. Currently, AMT has a product pipeline with nine products at different stages of development.

Michelle Barone not only creates fashion, she reinvents it, which is why this fashion designer is poised on the edge of monumental success. "My work is made for those with presence," she states. "They want to wear something beautiful, feminine and strong."

The 24-year-old designer describes herself a woman of many words: "Elegant, delicate, exquisite with equal amounts of strength, power and confidence," the same descriptions that aptly suit her creations, whether it is a no-holds-barred neck piece, or a sensual drape dress.

"I look at fashion design as a literal interpretation of invention. I strive to design garments that I have never seen before. Then, when a model or client wears my designs, they make them their own. This appreciation of what you've created is an amazing feeling."

"It is for this reason that I used PimTim to design my unique Brand identity. And it was an amazing experience. I think it is a wonderful thing when artists and out-of-the-box thinkers are able to come together in collaboration. That’s what makes the creative world so incredible. It’s definitely a comforting support system.”

Zideo differentiates from other video-sites in that video content and ad-revenues are shared: if you share, we share. Because of this strategy we chose PimTim as our design-agency to re-design our new Logo. “The PimTim-concept is very strong: instead of a traditional design-agency with a couple of designers, you now have the World as your design-agency! And you can set your own prize. We got 200 designs with amazing quality. Thanks PimTim!”
