Who we serve

We are a full-service provider of technology consulting, software design and development services.  We typically work with medium to large companies in the Communications, Media and Technology industries. But, given the proliferation of content being created and managed by companies in every sector from healthcare to finance and higher education, it’s easy to see how our experience might come to serve more companies in more industries.

Why Spark Digital?

1
We’re Experienced
We only take on projects where our experience will be a tangible advantage to the client. As former in-house product engineering and strategy leaders ourselves, we understand our clients’ challenges and needs— we’ve been there, we get it, failure is not an option.
2
We’re Focused
We only do what we do well. We work with clients on projects focused on the analysis, distribution and monetization of digital content: nothing more, nothing less.
3
We Put the Client First
We solicit feedback and accept criticism openly. By listening to what our clients have to say we improve the way we work.
4
We're Flexible
We tailor our services to the client need. We will never try to tailor the customer need to our services.
5
We're Full Service
We are consultants, designers and developers. We understand everything that goes into making great software products. That collective experience helps us to outperform even in projects where the full gamut of services aren’t being used.
6
We're as Close as We Need to Be
We do not have a singular approach to staffing. Sometimes it makes sense to be on premises, sometimes we can work entirely remote with our team in Argentina, usually a mix of both. Either way, we’re in the same time zone, working when you work, with you.
7
We're Humble
No one knows-it-all. We’re confident in our ability, but we’re not arrogant. We know that good ideas can come from strange places and that the best results come from close collaboration among peers.
8
We're Always Learning
We teach each other something new every day. We invest in training and the betterment of our people. The more we learn, the better we serve our clients. The more our team gets to learn, the happier they are.
