  • What to look out for when using Creative City Berlin
    • Let others see the real you: All of your information should be genuine and transparent.

      Very important: Please try to use good quality photos and videos in your profile and portfolio. We can only feature you and your work on our homepage if the image quality permits it. The more information your profile contains the easier other players can find it on our website. For instance, if you choose not to upload a profile picture, your profile will only appear at the very end of the list of players for your creative sector and other players will not find you among their suggested connections. If you’d like to be given a shout-out in our newsletter or on our Facebook page, you should upload a pertinent description of yourself and the projects you’re working on. Also, try to make sure that texts you post on our website contain the key words that other players on Creative City Berlin might use in order to search for you or someone with your professional or artistic profile.

      Image Credits: Don’t forget to credit the copyright owner of your image, photo or artwork. That’s the only way you can avoid plagiarism and copyright infringement.  

      You can create a personal profile (if you are an artist or a freelancer) or a profile for an institution, a network, an organisation or a project (click here). Afterwards you can publish and manage anything you publish via both profile types. Sometimes it’s useful to publish events or other content via your personal profile. However, if you want your event or post to be visible under the profile of a specific company, organisation or institution you should post via that organisation’s profile. In your account you will see the posts you have published and the modifications you have made. If you created more than one profile you can switch in between profiles here.
