At Spark Foundry, we design solutions for a modern world. We're built to be different; we have the spirit of a startup and the soul of a powerhouse.


Our purpose is to create work that matters — to our clients, to our people, and to society. That sounds nice, but to get to work that matters you need some key ingredients.


You need Builders and Creators. We call this our Brilliant Thinkers, which means exceptional people and work. We are in it together; we back ourselves and each other. We are always moving forward, always seeking solutions, and we are relentless, caring, and understand each other and the world around us.


This helps us tackle challenges through different disciplines and perspectives. You need to thrive on the belief that great ideas are only great if they work. It’s not enough to be new or cool or interesting. Our solutions need to drive a business result. Everything else is vanity. You need to embrace both the art and the evidence. Right and left. Imagination and activation. Intelligence and technology. Big ideas, forensically measured.


All that while being a good human. Sound like you? Sound like where you'd like to be? We'd love to meet you.
