Happy Birthday to Us!

April 22, 2018

4/22 may seem like an ordinary day for most people, but for the SparkShoppe team, this day is unlike any other day.  This day in 2016 was the last we would know of our Price Chopper/Market 32 corporate careers, and the first day we were free to start our entrepreneurial adventure!  We knew we could rock shopper and digital marketing as we had run a very successful department for years at Price Chopper/Market 32.  What we didn’t know was how instrumental that corporate experience was toward building our skills and expertise to apply to new clients and industries.


The SparkShoppe team would like to take a moment to thank all of our clients, especially Price Chopper/Market 32, for your support and confidence in us.  We are proud of the work we have done together and we look forward to continuing these partnerships though our work that produces your desired results.

Meagan and I would also like to take this moment to say how proud we are of our team who believed in our ability to chart this course.  It took courage for all of us to make the leap and leave the safety net a great corporation provides like health care, 401k, pension, etc. I have learned that operating without a net is sometimes overwhelming and at the same time, exhilarating when I take a moment to look around and appreciate the talent we have cultivated!


It has not always been easy, from our first laboratory office space next to the liquid nitrogen tanks, to long days on the road, in the air and more sales presentations than we can count on all of our fingers and toes.  We stayed confident in our ability as marketers to always do the best work for our clients and never settle for mediocre.  As with any start-up, we learned a lot along the way that enabled us to design better ways of doing business and growing a small company.

We look forward to the years ahead where who knows what adventures we may discover along this journey!  Again, many thanks to everyone who believed in us.  We are grateful for all of your ongoing support and encouragement.

TikTok’s future might seem uncertain, with debates about potential bans looming. Yet, it’s impossible to overlook the undeniable impact this platform has had on the marketing world. TikTok has completely rewritten the rules of advertising, bringing short-form, engaging, and authentic content to the forefront. It has shattered the traditional mold of polished, scripted advertisements and introduced a new era of storytelling and connection. This isn’t just a fleeting trend. TikTok is a reflection of evolving consumer preferences, pushing brands to adapt or risk irrelevance. It forces marketers to rethink how they advertise and what it means to truly engage audiences. Here’s how TikTok has reshaped marketing strategies across the board.
