About

Leading global platform for creative portfolio hosting and talent discovery

Behance is a leading online platform for creative professionals to showcase and discover creative work. Founded in 2005 and acquired by Adobe in 2012, Behance serves as the world's largest creative network, hosting millions of portfolios from designers, illustrators, photographers, and other creative professionals. The platform enables creatives to build professional portfolios, gain exposure, connect with potential clients and collaborators, and find inspiration from the global creative community. As an Adobe subsidiary, Behance integrates deeply with Adobe's Creative Cloud ecosystem, allowing users to publish work directly from Adobe applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. The platform serves both individual creatives looking to build their personal brand and businesses seeking to discover and hire creative talent. Behance has become an essential tool in the creative industry for portfolio presentation, networking, and talent discovery. While not a traditional AdTech company, Behance operates within the broader creative and marketing technology ecosystem, serving as a critical resource for creative professionals who produce advertising and marketing content. The platform's role in connecting creative talent with opportunities makes it an important part of the creative services supply chain that supports the advertising industry.
