Extraordinary things happen when the right people connect, exchange knowledge and create value around shared goals. This idea inspired the brand aspiration, Your space to create.
In 2002, the original CreatorBase was developed and launched by Erick Mott as a Web 2.0 application and it became the engine behind an online community called Creator Connection. However, with the growth of social technologies and Erick's desire to simplify, the new creatorbase was launched in 2007 as a free, Six Apart blog. Ahhh, no stress with a blog and other community management tools like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, SlideShare, YouTube, etc.
