The decision for Dribbble and Creative Market to join forces comes from a long-standing relationship between the two companies. Dribbble CEO Zack Onisko previously served as Chief Growth Officer for Creative Market and has worked with Creative Market CEO Chris Winn and his executive team for years. This existing relationship, combined with a deep understanding of one another’s businesses, made the partnership a natural next step for both companies.
“We are truly excited to enter into this partnership with Creative Market,” said Zack Onisko, CEO of Dribbble. “Our two companies have complementary visions when it comes to the impact that we believe our platforms can have to elevate the design community.
