GeniusRocket is a new online platform that links the talent of its creative community with companies to solve real world advertising and marketing challenges.

In this new site, creators can earn cash by solving the marketing challenge of the advertiser or by drawing the highest scores from members of the GeniusRocket community in monthly “Rocket” competitions.

As advertisers seek new ways to communicate directly and effectively with consumers, GeniusRocket enables advertisers, both large and small, to benefit from the collective “genius” of a large pool of young professional and emerging creative talent including film makers, writers, photographers and designers.

“At GeniusRocket, advertisers ‘crowdsource’ to generate cutting-edge outputs – such as web videos, mobile ads and widgets – well-tuned for their viral marketing campaigns,” said Adam Lehman, former SVP of AOL and a co-founder of GeniusRocket.
