Everything you need to know about Passionfruit
Your Specialist Score reflects your achievements, dedication, and active engagement on the Passionfruit Platform. Each scoring category is carefully calculated to offer a balanced, fair representation of your professional stature. The higher your score, the more projects you’ll get matched to, and the more you’ll be able to earn. You'll also rank in our leaderboards as a top performer in your profession, setting you apart from the rest!

We connect all businesses from startups to Fortune 500 companies to the world’s best freelance marketing Specialists.
We define community as a support system that helps you reach milestones faster and more effectively than you could alone. There's very little we won't do - within the law! - to help you achieve your goals as an independent worker.

Passionfruit is a platform where you can meet vetted marketing Specialists who are custom-matched to your needs, using our in-platform algorithm. You can meet your Specialist in as soon as one-week and once your project begins, you'll have access to your dedicated Customer Success team. Unlike agencies, we don't require multi-month retainers and the Specialists will work directly into your team.
We have a thorough three stage vetting process for Passionfruit Specialists, which includes reference checking, interviewing and case study analysis. Specialists are continually vetted on-platform to ensure standards are consistently high. If you're still in doubt, the free chemistry call can put your mind at ease!
