How it works

Pick a project, finish it on time, and get paid. No competition, no fuzz.

To be able to register, you first of all need to have an invitation code. There are two ways: either you get ones from one of the creatives that are already a member of Done at Dawn. Or send us an email with your CV and a link to your portfolio. Once a week, our selection committee looks into the applications and hands our invitations to those they see fit.

Good you got your invitation code, all you now need to do is to set up your account, and you can right away start searching through the available projects that match your skills.

Once you have accepted a project, the project is yours. That's right; you are not competing with other creatives. The job is yours. And as long as you finish it on time, you will get paid.

Top class projects

Each project on offer comes directly from the marketing department of companies and institutions. We only work with clients that know what they want and know how to communicate their wishes.

No competition

Done at Dawn is not your usual creative marketplace, here you are not competing with 100 other creatives working on the same project. No, if you accept a project then that project is yours.

Guaranteed payment

We offer a secure source of income. All you have to do to get paid is to finish a project on time. The better you do your job, the more high-paid projects become available to you.

Hassle-free
