Pre-launch
We are building our initial contributor team and preparing our first wave of coverage on Ikoniko.io
Follow @ikoniko.io on Instagram.
</aside>
Ikoniko is a voluntary, unpaid collaboration. Contributors work independently, may join a weekly team meeting when useful, and take on work when they have the capacity to do it. There are no fixed working hours or guaranteed assignments.
Stories can start with a cultural shift, a company or market development, a useful piece of data, an interview, an event or another access point. Each story needs a clear question and enough evidence to support it.

Choose the area or areas that best fit you and keep the application concise. Upload a current professional CV so we can understand your background; a portfolio remains optional. We ask for a small task because it tells us more than a long cover letter.
In the final Why Ikoniko? field, give us one or two sentences on why you would like to contribute, then include the short task for your area below. We contact selected applicants through the LinkedIn profile submitted with the form.
