GeniusRocket Opportunities

Posted 06.17.08

Have you checked out our list of current assignments recently? GeniusRocket has several opportunities that have either just opened up, or are coming to a close soon.

At the end of this week, the Flashpoint Academy of Arts and Sciences RFB is coming to a close. Flashpoint is Chicago’s newest college for students interested in the multi-disciplined digital media arts industry -- and they're looking to you to help create a 30-60 second online viral video. Total pay: $2,000. Learn more>>>

For our graphic designers, we've got a great opportunity through Neurotrax's Mindstreams RFB, which has a due date at the end of next week, on June 28th. Mindstreams is NeuroTrax'x advanced cognitive testing system for medical professionals treating dementias like Alzheimer's Disease. Total pay: $3,000. Learn more>>>

Here's a question: What's better than a good drink and watching online videos?

How about a good drink and making an online video?

Stirrings Simple Cocktail Mixers -- the originator of super-premium cocktail mixers, sold at Whole Foods, World Market, Pier One, and other stores -- wants you to produce a creative, viral video that will inspire their target consumer (women between the ages of 30-39) to elevate their at-home entertaining. The videos should be 30-60 seconds in length, aimed at social networking users. The deadline is July 13th. Total pay: $4,000. Learn more>>>

And the GeniusRocket community wowed Mervis Diamonds with their previous tagline RFB -- and now Mervis is back for more. They want you to take their archive of olf radio ads and mash it up to 30 seconds of video. What kind of video? That's up to you. The deadline is July 15th. Total pay: $1,000. Learn more>>>

Good luck!
