Why "150" and why "birds"?

150 comes from Dunbar's number, a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person. 150 represents the strong bonds the team holds with one another, enabling a culture of transparency where each member is encouraged to realize their true potential. 

Birds constitute the only living dinosaurs. They fly together harmoniously to forage with one another while preserving their own way of life. ​Birds represent the freelancers we work with, who plug into our platform to find long-term, more consistent, meaningful work while retaining the independence that comes with being a freelancer.

From our founder

As a former marketing consultant and as someone who has built and managed marketing teams throughout the first golden age of marketing technologies in the last ten years, I have learned a few things: 

​

• There is a growing number of online tools and channels, and it requires a team with multidisciplinary skills to provide full lifecycle marketing. 

• It would be best to have specialists for every new channel, but these can be hard to find and manage through generic marketplaces. 

• While agencies are reliable to work with, output lacks transparency, and fees don't add up. The incentive structure leads to misalignment in team objectives, which is not a sustainable working relationship. ​

​​

I founded 150birds to take the headache out of your day so that you can get back to focusing on your business. Finally, a simple, affordable solution that helps SMBS grow online.
