Visually

Pioneer in on-demand visual content creation marketplaces, connecting brands with freelance creative talent at scale

Visually was a content creation marketplace founded in 2011 in San Francisco, California, that matched brands and marketing teams with a curated network of freelance designers, animators, and content creators. The platform specialized in visual content formats including infographics, videos, presentations, and interactive experiences, making high-quality visual storytelling accessible to companies without large in-house creative teams. At its peak, Visually boasted a marketplace of thousands of creative professionals and served hundreds of enterprise and mid-market clients seeking scalable content production. In January 2016, Visually was acquired by ScribbleLive, a Canadian content marketing platform, which sought to integrate Visually's creative marketplace capabilities with its own content planning and distribution tools. This acquisition positioned ScribbleLive as a more comprehensive end-to-end content marketing solution. The Visually brand continued to operate under ScribbleLive's umbrella, retaining its marketplace identity while benefiting from the broader platform's reach and resources. The story did not end there: in December 2019, Rock Content, a Brazilian content marketing company, acquired ScribbleLive, bringing the Visually brand into its growing portfolio of content marketing assets. Through these successive acquisitions, Visually transitioned from an independent startup into a component of a larger global content marketing ecosystem. The brand's legacy lies in pioneering the on-demand creative marketplace model for visual content, influencing how brands approach scalable, data-driven visual storytelling.
