MADE In The UAE: New Commission-Free Platform For Artists Elevate Their Creativity

A groundbreaking digital platform named MADE, designed to revolutionise the way creative talents and talent seekers interact, is now active. This platform, the first of its kind in the region, focuses on music, art, dance, and entertainment, offering a commission-free environment for artists to showcase their work and connect with potential clients directly. By eliminating commissions and unnecessary obstacles, MADE fosters an ecosystem where creatives can thrive and find opportunities with ease.

MADE is not just about connecting talents with those in search of them; it's a comprehensive tool designed to amplify visibility and opportunities for artists. Through a subscription model, creatives can access enhanced features that elevate their profile, improve their discoverability, and, ultimately, help them stand out in a competitive field.

Nizar Ahmadi, a veteran in finance and technology, founded MADE with a vision to forge meaningful connections between creatives and talent seekers, turning artistic passion into sustainable careers. Ahmadi's mission is clear: to create a space where creativity knows no bounds, and artists can easily connect with those who appreciate and seek their talents.

"In a world where creativity often struggles to find its audience, we wanted to remove the barriers, no hidden costs, no logistical fuss," explained Ahmadi. "MADE puts control back into the hands of artists, while giving talent seekers direct access to a world of creativity."

The platform offers an array of features for both creators and those looking to hire them. Artists can upload showcase videos, set their own rates, and list their availability without worrying about commission fees.

Additionally, MADE introduces a unique "MADE to Sell" feature, allowing artists to sell their creations directly through the platform. This commission-free approach not only benefits creators but also simplifies the process for talent seekers, providing a transparent, efficient way to find and book talent.

Beyond facilitating connections for live performances, MADE also empowers creators in the realms of fashion, design, and visual arts through its "Made to Sell" feature. Artists and designers can directly showcase and sell their works, from fine art to haute couture and jewelry, without the need for traditional storefronts. This direct line to potential buyers further extends the opportunities available to creatives, beyond the stage and into various fields of art and design.

MADE's commitment to diversity, empowerment, and celebration of creativity has made it a nurturing space for artists of all genres and skill levels. The platform aims to unite the region’s music, art, fashion, and dance communities, redefining how creativity is shared and appreciated. With features designed to enhance profile visibility and ensure quality, MADE ensures a smooth discovery and booking process for both creatives and talent seekers.

Currently operational in the UAE, MADE has ambitious plans to broaden its reach. It aims to expand to Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC by September, followed by launches in Egypt and eventually, global markets. The platform seeks to support event planners and organisers by offering a streamlined, transparent way to access talent, enhancing the overall process of planning and executing creative projects.
