Pitcher Helps You Find an Ad Agency as You Would Dates on Tinder
Laura McQuarrie — September 10, 2014 — Tech
Just as there's Tinder for dating, Pitcher calls itself "The Agency Matchmaker,' an app where you can easily find an ad agency to work with. The app uses that familiar swiping interface to show off a number of profiles, and if you happen to find one that you like, it's possible to make a connection afterwards via email or phone.
Rather than going through lengthy meeting in person to see if an agency is the right fit, this is truly like speed dating for business. In the place of pictures of people, the Pitcher app allows agencies to show off some of their best work, in order to give others a feel for what it can provide with its services.
