Sparq Designs is a Pittsburgh-based marketing agency that was founded in 2013. According to its…read morewebsite, its services include strategy such as customer research and brand positioning, online marketing such as search engine optimization and social media, multimedia such as photography and videos, web design and development, and creative development such as identity design and brand development. My experience with Sparq Designs is not as a client but rather as a research subject. Weeks ago, Sparq Designs sent me an email to ask if I would participate in a 30-minute video interview about a particular food business. I eventually found time in my life to schedule the interview. The moderators planned to conduct the interview through Google Meet, and they started the interview on time. I used to work as I professional researcher, so I have experience with interviewing people. I thought that the moderators did an excellent job of understanding the purpose of the study, asking open-ended questions, and probing with follow-up questions. Shortly after the interview ended, a moderator emailed me the incentive, a coupon code to use at the food business. Overall, I enjoyed interacting with Sparq Designs's employees via email and the video interview, and I appreciated the incentive coupon. I encourage other people to participate in Sparq Designs's studies.

I'm very glad I chose Voco Design for my marketing materials needs as they've branded a simple, effective logo for me that will work for the duration of this project. The website Jason and his team are building will be multi-faceted and quite involved so I'm so excited to see how well we do on this project with all the bells and whistles he and his team have installed in my website.

Communication is key and any question or concern I had with my project was addressed immediately! I found Voco through a friend who used Voco to build a fantastic website. It has been the most enjoyable experience having true experts in this field work with me. I tried the Foursquare build your own site method which was useless when I needed any help with important questions. That route was maddening. The CEO Jason definitely knows his stuff! Highly recommended!!! Total 5 star

Probably at least 20 different design projects over the past four years. All perfect, and always much better than any of us ever anticipated.

Highly, highly recommend Dave!!! H. Blaszyk, MD President and CEO K9sOTFL

The one-two punch of Steelcoast Creative, and their coding partners Lava New Media, is fantastic!…read moreThey did a great job of getting to know our three brands. The websites they've created for us are very attractive, look like a family overall, but have enough distinction from site to site to represent the unique personalities of each brand. The collaboration process was very well organized and effective, the resulting designs and functionality are working very well for us, and the new CMS platform we have is very user-friendly and will scale to meet our needs as we continue to grow. From a cost-perspective, you will pay for what you get. They're not as expensive as larger agencies, nor are they as inexpensive as freelance shops that operate out of their homes. But, the end product is well worth the investment.
