What is Bulbshare?

Bulbshare is a co-creation platform and home to a community of likeminded people, brands and organisations united by a passion to create, collaborate and innovate. Brands and organisations look to Bulbshare to solve their toughest problems with the most creative and original solutions, fresh from the bright minds of our community!

What if do not have an iPhone or an Android phone?

While the app is only available for iOS and Android, you still can submit Bulbshares and be part of the co-creating community by visiting our website: Bulbshare.com.

Everyone can share ideas and co-create in response to our public briefs. Some of our Bulbshare environments require a password, and if so, your password will be provided by your designated Community Manager for private projects via your activation pack.

Why should I join Bulbshare?

By becoming a member of the Bulbshare community, you not only get to shape the content you consume, the brands you love and the causes you care about, you could also get unique prizes, ‘money can’t buy’ bundles and rewards for your ideas. Bulbshare is all about building up your voice on causes or issues that you care about, in safe, and sometimes private, online spaces.

Better yet, you get to proactively influence the world around you through your ideas being brought to life by the people, brands, NGOs and organisations that you will get the opportunity to co-create with!

You also get to develop creative skills for use in your career and beyond, while networking with a global community of likeminded individuals.

What’s a Bulbshare?

A Bulbshare is an idea in response to a brief which may contain text, photo and video. Once you’ve signed up, simply respond to one of our open briefs by tapping on the brief that takes your fancy and tapping on ‘Join Brief’.

Here, you’ll be able to take photos and create videos on the camera within the app, or select them from your camera roll, to be supplemented with text to further describe or communicate your idea.

Before you can submit, you will need to make sure that your Bulbshare has at least an image and text.

You can also view other people’s Bulbshares by clicking on the briefs that appeal to you, from the bulbshares tab at the top of your newsfeed, or through fellow co-creator profiles.

What’s’ a Brief?

A brief is a creative problem or challenge that needs to be solved. Brands and organisations submit briefs to source authentic, creative and original solutions to their problems from you, the Bulbshare community! This is your chance to feedback and help brands and organisations understand how to innovate and better communicate with their communities or consumers.

Why do I need to fill in my details when I sign up?

We want to make your opportunities on Bulbshare as personalised as we can. Lots of our more exclusive opportunities are location specific, age specific and target certain skills and interests, so we want to make sure that when you do get invited to exclusive opportunities, they’re ones that are tailored to you!

Why does Bulbshare ask for my phone number?

Where relevant, we’ll use your phone number to verify your identity before sending payments or other rewards.

Why should I link my social accounts?

Sometimes opportunities will be based on the numbers of followers you have or the social media networks that you are a part of, so by linking your social accounts you increase your chances of getting invited to our more exclusive opportunities. When you connect a social account, it will show up on your Bulbshare profile, so it’s a good way for your followers on Bulbshare to discover your other profiles – and vice versa!

Why should I update my profile?

It’s best to keep your profile up to date as you change location or acquire new interests so that we can continue to personalise co-creation opportunities to you.

Why I can’t see certain briefs and Bulbshares

Sometimes Briefs and Bulbshares will appear with a padlock over them. This is because they are part of a brand or organisation’s private co-creation challenge and are only visible to co-creators within that community.

See our section above on ‘Using Bulbshare’ to find out how to become part of a private co-creation challenge
