The story of Playbook

When we founded our company in January 2020, Playbook really wasn’t much more than an idea. Now that we've successfully and privately onboarded our first groups of teams and over 100,000 freelancers, we're ready to open up to more to next-generation collaborative space for creative files.

We've all been there. As a creative person, you pour your heart and soul into your work, delicately building and refining, up to the moment you release it into the world. But along the way, there’s an ever-present risk that this precious work could be lost or buried in a far off somewhere in Dropbox.

Creative files are different than .xls or .docx. For one thing, they're visual. A preview says a thousand words, way more than a file name. Also, there are multiple source files associated with that JPEG, relationships that traditional file systems fail to incorporate. Not to mention handling duplicates, different resolutions, different formats, revisions..etc. No wonder Jane from Finance can't find that template that the design team spent hours putting together.

Playbook is not just another clunky storage platform.

Playbook is a fast and lightweight collaborative storage that works on its own or can integrate well with your current storage. We don’t have an up-front contract. We don’t lock you in for years. Simply start with your current creative project. After that, we can help you import your important old projects so that everything is stored, organized and tagged all in one place.

Playbook changes the way creatives work. For teams, we hope that Playbook is a beautiful, organized home base for all creative work that empowers brand owners to do a lot more. For freelancers, there's finally a better way to collaborate more with their clients.

We, Playbook team, feel a huge responsibility for trust that our users put in us by storing years of their work in Playbook. We’ll do our best to make sure our users be happy with our product for many decades to come!
