We want to help you find new leads beyond your current mailing list. Membership is by invitation only and offers three opportunities to promote your work to art directors. Reach prospects in North America, the UK and Europe with weekly email promotions for the Collective. Sign on for the Premium Membership and receive individualized custom lists specific to your interests along with HTML designed emails and reports.
*3x3 Collective replaces our 3x3 Illustration Directory which for the past 16 years was a printed directory only sent to art directors in the US.
Feature up to five images in our online gallery including a brief bio, list of clients and contact information. Try it for six months with the option to renew. You can upload new set of images during that period. We’ll promote the gallery weekly to a select group of art directors in editorial, advertising and publishing. Move up to our Standard Membership for a full twelve months at a discount.
Example: Our emails bring as many as 4,000 visitors to our 3x3 Collective website each week.
Includes all the benefits of the Standard Membership plus you’ll be able to select categories you’re most interested in, ones you want to expand and new ones you wish to explore. We can put you in front of markets that only an artist rep has access to. We’ll create individualized HTML emails; identify the audience we feel will be receptive to your work from our extensive list of contacts in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe.
With our experience in advertising, design and publishing we know which contacts will be the decision-makers and which won’t. Check out our list of categories (Editorial & Magazines, Publishers, Ad Agencies & Design Firms).
Most illustrators use plain text emails, we want to upgrade you to HTML emails like the example here. We’ll develop a subject line that we feel with get opened. When opened, there’s the banner “3x3 Recommends” followed by praise for your work by our founder and former creative director, Charles Hively. We’ll help select a single image from your site and add a positive quote from an art director you’ve worked with along with contact links.
We’ve found this approach has been successful in getting through to art directors. And we’ll track the response on our end after each email and share those results with you.
Example: Smaller lists nets between 500–750 clicks to a website with an additional number to Instagram and LinkedIn. Larger lists result in between 1,700–2,800 clicks to a website. In addition, we also have a link to your page on the Collective which has links to your website and Instagram.
New to the field? We’ll substitute a brief paragraph about your work, accolades and how you approach assignments in lieu of the art director quote.
