Company Overview:
Sparks is a live + digital brand experience agency. We specialize in creating connection - real human connection - onsite, online or anywhere. Through a mix of insightful strategy, breakthrough creative, cutting edge design and flawless execution, we create memorable trade show exhibits, live and virtual events, brand activations, retail stores, corporate & conference environments, keynotes and other immersive experiences that deepen relationships, inspire action, and build trust, all around the world. And in 2023, Sparks was acquired by Freeman, and is now part of the largest event and experience group in the world.
We operate an open and inclusive culture where all recognize, respect, appreciate, and encourage individuality regardless of race, gender, age, religion, culture, ideology, economic status, disability or sexual orientation. We believe that everyone at all levels of our organization is accountable for building this culture. We are challenging ourselves daily to seek and build diversity and equality in any way we can–and we welcome your ideas.
Think you’ve got what it takes to hang with us?
We’ve built our reputation on creating awesome experiences for our clients, but equally important is the experience we create for our people. Yes, we work hard. But we also make it a point to have fun. And we find our people work that much harder when work doesn’t feel so much like, well, work. If you share our mindset, we should chat.
We’ve always got our eyes peeled for smart, hungry people who think that what we do isn’t so much a job as it is a way of life. And while any company can supply stuff like benefits (and, of course we do too!) our greatest benefit comes from the amazing people you’ll interact with daily, who will challenge and push you to think harder, be more creative and love what you do.
Sparks provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation and training.
