Jam Pan To Disrupt Digital Learning with Unique Marketplace at Learning Technologies 2018

Jam Pan To Disrupt Digital Learning with Unique Marketplace at Learning Technologies 2018


The digital learning market is rich with talent, but poor in ways to access it – in particular freelance and niche suppliers. Now Jam Pan provides a better way for clients and suppliers to find each other, connect and work together with our  new Marketplace service which we’re delighted to be launching at Learning Technologies 2018.

Digital Learning Market: Challenges and Opportunities

Many trends have blown through the Digital Learning Market in the past few years. But One constant is “do more with less.” In-house L&D teams are under relentless budget pressure with more expected of them from limited budget and resource every year.

The traditional routes have been to either build in-house teams or contract with larger agencies and suppliers. These have limitations:

  • Budget restrictions on internal hiring
  • Skills and capacity gaps in internal teams, especially as new skills emerge in the sector
  • Procurement restrictions often mean clients are limited to a small set of suppliers, which can limit creativity and competitiveness

There’s another way though: Tap into the talent economy. There are thousands of talented freelancers and niche/emerging agencies working globally in digital learning. They bring creativity, cost competitiveness, and the ability to flex capacity on demand for digital learning clients. They can be hard to find and contract with though, as it’s a fragmented market, and they’re often under the radar.

A New Way: Digital Learning on Demand with Jam Pan’s New Marketplace

Jam Pan makes it easy to tap into the talent economy for digital learning with its new Marketplace, a unique platform for clients and suppliers of digital learning to find each other and get great work done.

David Wood, Jam Pan Founder says:

“We’ve all been in digital learning for a long time, and we’ve seen firsthand how the talent and freelancer economy can help clients get more for less, start faster, and build capacity and capability on demand, and help freelancers and agencies do great work with leading clients. We’ve grown by 100% in the last 12 months. Our new platform and Enterprise services takes our offer to the next level, and we’re delighted to launch it at Learning Technologies 2018.”

Jam Pan Client Mike Booth of Dixons Carphone says:

“I honestly can’t think of a reason why someone in my role would not use Jam Pan. It’s cost neutral, there’s nothing to lose, I can only see benefit. Whether you’re new to the game or been around a few years like me, there’s value to be had from having a sounding board, getting a broader view of the market from highly credible and trusted experts, and tapping into talent so you can hit the ground running. Jam Pan is like an extension of my core team.”
