Zooppa is the global social network for creative talent. We are the world's largest source of user-generated advertising, committed to the vision of real people and leading brands working together.


How does it work?

Zooppa partners with companies to bring our Community members opportunities to create great ads for leading brands. Companies develop a creative brief describing their brand's attributes, the target audience, and the objectives of the campaign. Community members are then invited to create ads in various formats. For example, producing a viral video, designing an animated sequence, creating a print ad, even writing scripts or concepts for potential ads.

Once members upload their content, clients generally select and award the best content, but many campaigns also allow community members to vote on content submissions in order to determine additional award–winners.

Zooppa awards cash and special prizes to the creators based on this feedback from the client, the community and Zooppa staff.

Zooppa is housed by the technological incubator H-Farm. Located near Venice, Italy, H-Farm is a center for research and innovation focused on the fields of technology and new media.

Zooppa partners with international companies to sponsor their brand through Zooppa's competitions. For each company that Zooppa partners with, a new contest is launched for users to compete in. Each company provides a creative brief describing its brand and the audience it hopes to reach. Users are then invited to create advertisements tailored to the company’s needs. These ads can take many forms. Users may design an animated sequence, create a print ad, write a script or concept for a potential ad, or actually produce a viral video.

Zooppa plays an important role as an intermediary between the creators of content and companies. Zooppa guarantees a pricing range from a minimum to a maximum value, in which the interests of both users and companies can be satisfied.
