Bullhorn Ramps-up Efforts to Become the Global Leader

in the Creative Services Marketplace

Bullhorn.com, an e-business which provides direct access to the World's top creative talent(TM), announced today that it has named Emode founding team member, Melanie L. Schneeberger, Senior Vice President of Interactive Strategy. Mel will focus on strategic partnerships, online marketing strategies and user experience/product development to make Bullhorn the best creative marketplace in the world.

At Emode, Melanie was instrumental in growing the site from daily page views in the thousands, to the millions. During her tenure, the site was named a top site by Nielsen/NetRatings, Yahoo, Media Metrix, Go2Net's 100hot Guide, and USA Today. People magazine and Howard Stern have both called Emode.com "addictive." Prior to Emode, Mel was an undefeated trial attorney. She has a B.A. from Dartmouth College and a J.D. from Boston College Law School.

Bullhorn's mission is to become the global leader in the creative job marketplace for freelance professionals, streamlining the procurement of creative services and aggregating creative media for purchase and sale, including graphic design, visual arts, music, audio, photography, video, and writing.

"We are excited to have Mel on board with us at Bullhorn. She is a talented and aggressive professional who only knows how to win. She will be a tremendous force in accelerating our current growth phase and helping us create the best marketplace on the Internet for creative talent," said Barry Hinckley, Bullhorn's co-founder and CEO.

"Bullhorn's marketplace is the perfect application for the Web. As we all know, the niche B2B space is the one that everyone is clamoring to be in for longevity and revenue. Bullhorn is carving out a deep vertical specialty in B2B creative services and is a tremendously rich service for anyone in need of top creative talent-- our competitors are trying to serve all freelance markets, consequently serving none of them well," said Schneeberger.

Bullhorn provides the most user friendly site for creative professionals to post their portfolios and to bid for freelance jobs, as well as facilitates the acquisition of digital creative services globally. The patent pending Bullhorn Project Work Flow(TM) Application revolutionizes project management and collaboration on the Internet. Project Work Flow streamlines the entire creative project lifecycle by organizing information in a simple, easy to follow format. The package allows Bullhorn.com members to share files, discuss and review materials, track revisions, facilitate payment, and schedule online whiteboard sessions. Work Flow allows Bullhorn.com members to manage multiple projects easily and efficiently without ever leaving Bullhorn.com.
