We recently shared the news that Sparkpr was ranked one of the fastest growing social media and technology public relations firms in 2010 by O’Dwyers, with growth of more than 22 percent over 2009. Last year was Sparkpr’s 10th straight year of revenue growth!
A big part of our growth story is our people. Sparkpr consistently attracts the most talented PR and marketing pros in the business, and this in turn helps us attract an exciting and diverse roster of clients.
We’ve also branched out beyond our San Francisco and Silicon Valley PR roots, opening offices in London and Cape Town over the past few years, and most recently expanding our public relations services into New York and Los Angeles. Our strategic global locations allow us to provide 24/7 service to our clients.
Please join us in welcoming our newest team members from across the globe!
