Atom (Formerly Squadhelp)

Atom (rebranded from Squadhelp in early 2024) is the world's leading marketplace for brand naming and creative crowdsourcing. Startups and corporations launch naming contests with cash prizes typically ranging from $100 to $1,000+. Creatives submit name ideas, brand taglines, and domain suggestions. Unlike graphic design where preparing an entry takes days, submitting a clever brand name takes minutes. Atom uses a percentile quality score that grants successful creatives more daily submissions. In addition to contests, creatives can list approved brandable domains in Atom's premium marketplace. While contests remain speculative—meaning you only get paid if the client selects your name—the platform is transparent, has legitimate corporate clients, and provides an engaging side-income outlet for imaginative writers.
