This article provides information on the advertising products Dribbble offers to help designers generate and convert more leads. Designers who purchase advertising products are considered "Designer Advertisers" for the duration of their campaigns. These advertising products are sales-assisted, not self-serve.
Promoted Designers
Promoted Designers is a product that allows Designer Advertisers to secure a fixed ranking in Designer Search for specific search queries.
Additionally, for the duration of their advertising campaign, Designer Advertisers are permitted to:
Display direct contact information on their Profile and Shot pages.
Exchange contact information with their prospective clients at any time.
Request and receive payment off-platform. If a Designer Advertiser opts to receive payments on Dribbble, however, the Client Platform Fee and Designer Platform Fee are waived.
Designer Advertisers also receive dedicated account management to help set up and optimize their campaigns.
Eligibility for Promoted Designers is at the discretion of Dribbble. Pricing depends on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the ranking sought and the duration of the advertising campaign.
Payment terms: Dribbble will issue an invoice to the Designer Advertiser for the total amount payable, which is due before the campaign can begin.
Cancellation and Refund Policy: Cancellations and refunds are not available once payment has been received and the campaign has begun.
