– Design & Multimedia – Marketing & Sales – Web & Programming – Writing & Translation.
There’s no middleman and no commissions… just a commitment to provide a portfolio match to any specific search of the system database.  While other systems focus on who the person is and how much they charge, AdSortium places the focus where it should be – on how the person’s body of work matches a given project’s needs.  The purpose of the system is not to generate a high quantity of connections.  Rather, its purpose is to provide a higher quality connection. AdSortium is proud to support AAF member professionals in the advertising and marketing industry with this valuable resource.  Use the coupon code ‘AAFmember’ when you subscribe at any level and get a 15% discount off the associated subscription fee. Visit AdSortium to learn more.
