‟Working with Sparks has been maybe one of the best decisions we made as an organisation. From the very start Sparks “got us” inside out and their whole process and collaboration with the in-house team has been second to none. They listened. They asked questions. They included us. From their initial design concepts and ideas to the final product, we have been so impressed with how they visually interpreted our brand strategy - which was no easy feat - into something simple and clear, yet visually creative. To say we are extremely pleased with the end result is an understatement.”
Dan MissionSenior Graphic Designer, CMS
‟Working with Sparks is a completely collaborative experience. They know the right questions to ask, to get to the heart of what we’re trying to achieve. It never feels like a shopkeeper/customer relationship; with every project, big or small, there’s a healthy back and forth process, taking our opinions on board.
On a practical level, deadlines are met, and the people are all friendly and professional to deal with. Even though it’s a small agency, there’s always someone I can speak to for updates on our project.
On a creative level, the work is outside the mainstream. Sparks’ designs for Ruffer have made people sit up and pay attention.”

‟Working with Sparks Studio on System Crew’s new branding was a delight. The team were quick to capture the essence of what our business is about and diligently turned it into a powerful brand.”
System Crew
‟In the busy run–up to our formation, we engaged Sparks to create our new brand identity. They met with the partnership on a number of occasions and worked constantly behind the scenes to take the brand from unformed but powerful notions to concrete ideas and eventually a beautiful outcome.
I was impressed with the people and their work. They were persistent and consistent – gently moving us forward and imparting a momentum that never ignored valid ideas. They had clear processes which were helpful – and which they were also prepared to adapt where needed.
Aberkyn has got off to a flying start, with demand and revenues 30% ahead of expectations. I would be delighted to work with them again, and unhesitatingly recommend their work.”
Mike CarsonAberkyn, Founding partner
‟There are no words to justify how grateful we are for all your hard work on this project. It was a huge project and sparks took it on with grace, patience and ambition. We are so pleased with the final result and our continued partnership”
Georgie EvansWeb & Marketing Manager
‟It was clear to us that Sparks cared deeply, to understand who we are and what we stand for. They guided us through engaging exploratory sessions and conducted interviews with our clients which were a massive encouragement to us.
The team’s attention to detail and ability to implement feedback quickly made the whole process look effortless. Their patience as we deliberated and wrote our copy is greatly appreciated.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and it’s a hit with our staff and clients alike.”
