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.

It’s no secret that many industries are integrating artificial intelligence into their daily operations. According to a recent McKinsey study, 92 percent of companies plan to invest more in generative AI over the next three years. This trend is making traditionally complex fields like coding more approachable, even for those without prior experience. “Vibe coding,” a term popularized by former Tesla AI executive Andrej Karpathy, uses Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to generate code from natural language prompts, where developers describe the intended behavior rather than writing precise code. While this offers clear benefits for developers, how can marketers leverage vibe coding to improve their day-to-day operations?
