Spark Digital believes that creating digital experiences is an inherently human and collaborative process. That’s why we focus and invest relentlessly in two things: our team and the clients we serve. We strive to blur the lines between our team and the client, and break down barriers to create spaces where creativity and excellence have room to thrive.
We started with one client in 2013. Today, we still have that client plus over 20 other US-Based clients that reach hundreds of millions of customers every day with a huge range of products and services that do everything from entertain, educate, inform, and heal users. Our primary expertise is in the Media &Entertainment and Ed Tech industries but we work with clients in many others. We’re proud that our partners include brands including Dow Jones, FOX, Warner Bros., Verizon, Kaplan, Macmillan, and many others.
Spark Digital builds teams based on the unique needs of every project. We have team members working on-site in our clients offices, we have team members who work out of our three offices in Argentina (Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata, and Tandil). And, we also have remote team members throughout Argentina, other South American countries and the USA.
