Spark

Spark is a visual-first professional network designed specifically for people working in the creative industries. It addresses the challenge of showcasing creative work, building professional connections, and gaining verified recognition for collaborative projects, all through a single, customizable online profile. The platform allows users to claim a personal link where they can host their portfolio for free, display all their creative work, and tag collaborators, who can then confirm their contributions for verified credits. This approach aims to provide a comprehensive alternative to traditional CVs, portfolios, and professional networks, tailored to the unique needs of creative professionals.

Key features of Spark include the ability to search and discover other creatives by discipline or city, follow credits back to collaborators on projects, and message or connect with others within the industry. Users can build a "circle" of trusted collaborators, making it easier to maintain and expand their professional network. " Community features extend to listings for industry events such as screenings, shows, and meetups.

Spark is built for a wide range of creative roles, including photographers, stylists, directors, producers, set designers, colorists, retouchers, makeup artists, hair stylists, location scouts, casting directors, sound designers, editors, gaffers, grips, wardrobe professionals, models, runners, illustrators, designers, and art directors.
