New Social Network, Toadsquare, Unites Global Community of 20 Million Creative Professionals

PRAGUE, June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



A new social network for creative professionals taking two years and almost EUR1
million to develop was launched today. 'Toadsquare' aims to unite the world's 20 million
'creatives' - artists, photographers, filmmakers, scriptwriters, actors - and provide them
with an instant, global showcase for exhibiting their talents to agents, producers and
collectors.

Toadsquare is the brainchild of Australian-Czech Jane Hrouda: 'I've spent my whole
life working with creative people and wondering how we can afford to let so much talent,
in so many countries, go to waste' she said. 'When Facebook and Linked-In showed the
incredible power of social networking I realised this could be the answer to the mis-match
between supply and demand in the creative industries.'



Hrouda and a team of ten have spent two years turning her original idea into reality.
Toadsquare is free to join and gives every member their own 'website within a website' -
where they can network and market, sell and display their work - art, photographs, films,
video, scripts, designs, music: samples and examples of their creative talents. They can
also swap stories and tips with other creative professionals, advertise shows and
exhibitions, invite expert criticism and seek inspiration.



Montparnasse on a global scale



Toadsquare was officially launched in Prague at a re-creation of Montparnasse,
designed to evoke the dynamic artistic melting-pot of Paris in the 20th century.
'Montparnasse symbolised all the excitement, opportunity and passion for the art world
that we want to bring alive again at Toadsquare' says Hrouda. 'Artistic communities have
always flourished on a local level, with clients and collectors making a bee-line for the
cafes where up-and-coming talent can be spotted. But what if you're a budding genius in
Jakarta and your ideal customer is in Madrid? With Toadsquare they could be sitting at the
next table.'



Actor and Producer Joel Einhorn thinks Toadsquare will transform the film and TV
industries. 'There's never been a single place where you know that producers, actors and
directors will look at your work. Now there is, and it's exactly what creative
professionals need. Toadsquare is going to transform the way people in the visual arts
manage their careers - it replaces serendipity with an efficient, digital marketplace for
anyone selling talent and anyone buying it.'
