What's a pitch, what's a pitcher?

In the marketing and advertising industry, a pitch is a "competition presentation": One starts a pitch, agencies (or people) present their solutions in competition to each other and the best gets the business.

It may be referred to a pitch as a tender, call for tender, call for bids or invitation to bid.

The websites' version of a pitch

If you need a design of a logo, an illustration, a label or a lettering you can start a pitch and, by doing so, invite designers from all over the planet to present their customized design proposals in competition to each other.

Here too, the designer of the best design gets the business, i.e. wins the pitch. However, our version of a pitch also includes a voting for the best design: The designers of the top 50% of all entered designs earn money. The pitcher determines 1st place; following rankings are decided by people voting on the website.

The person or company who starts a pitch is called "Pitcher" on the website.
