After the new Design Team brand by iHub launched a video on facebook, calling for ideas to turn into product collections for sale, Crafters took to the page to ask questions if the people involved will be paid because some companies do not pay their design team instead they promise the design team exposure and no payment.
Design Team brand has finally replied stating that it is paying its design team members but cannot disclose the percentage or pay- scale.
*At least the artist(s) in this design team brand won’t die of exposure, they are promised payment. #TheArtistDiedOfExposure
From the Screenshots:
Hi all, there appears to be some confusion over the brand Design Team before it has even launched. I would like to clarify that Stephanie & the Ihub team’s whole concept behind this new brand is entirely to give the Design Teams full recognition for their work and to be clear those involved in the designs and making samples for this ARE being paid for their time and commitment.
You will see members of the Design Team in the studio on Monday’s show too. Many thanks, Diane Peternel, General Manager, Ihub
PS This is a personal message from Stephanie, please allow the Design Team who are part of this exciting launch the courtesy and privacy of us not discussing, in public, the deal that they have. All paperwork is compliant and above board.
All team members have our total respect for their talent and contribution to this product but we will not enter into discussions about private remuneration and wouldn’t it be nice for us to celebrate their talent instead of tarnishing what should be a really exciting moment for them?
What is Design Team? Anna Higginbottom explains the ethos behind the brand, what we hope to achieve and how you can get involved!
