How Nasdaq is getting work done on Upwork

Nasdaq Transforms into a Digital Media Leader by Engaging Independent Pros

The Problem

A small team needed some big help

“We’re always looking for creative ways to connect clients to their audience. Right now, the language of social is video,” says Nasdaq’s current Head of Social Media, Anna Gonzalez. Her four-person team was tasked to create more Facebook Live shows, launch Facebook Watch programs, and produce other videos on demand (VOD). But Gonzalez faced three challenges: 1) They didn’t have enough technical, artistic, and analytical skills in-house, 2) she didn’t know what the budget would be per project, and 3) she needed a way to scale up and down quickly in locations worldwide.
