Pros

Has been the standard of the exhibit industry for decades, and continues to set the pace with the merger of Freeman

Cons

No complaints. Unless you are inexperienced in this industry you won’t realize how fantastic this company is.

Pros

A great company with a great reputation. Good client list. Those who were at Sparks before 2023 are the ones to know.

Cons

Getting bought by Freeman was the worst thing that could have happened to this agency. Strong leaders are neutered (if they even stick around). We haven't had a CEO in months. The new leaders are the dusty old ineffective ones from the dissolved Freeman agency. They bring in their old methods and then wonder why things stop working correctly. It's a shame. Now it's like working at an old hotel and everyone wonders why no one visits anymore.
