As creative professionals, we found that showing work is harder than it should be. In the creative industries, many rely on PDFs or personal websites, which are time-consuming to maintain and difficult for others to discover. These formats are not designed for regular updating, sharing, or search by employers. Spark provides a fully customisable, easy to update online portfolio you can host for free, and share at the click of a button.

In London, one in five workers is employed within the creative economy. Yet the professional infrastructure for the people working in these industries remains fragmented. Freelance roles circulate through private messaging groups and short-lived social posts. Portfolio presentation depends on personal websites and PDFs that sit in isolation, with no path to discovery. The result is a labour market that rewards existing networks over talent.

On Spark, all opportunities are publicly visible, removing the closed referral networks through which roles currently circulate. The gallery surfaces work chronologically and by discipline, without algorithmic promotion weighted toward existing recognition, giving emerging practitioners the same visibility as established ones. Spark is free to use and will remain so.

The creative industries are growing faster than any other sector in the UK. The infrastructure for the people working in them has not kept pace, and Spark is built to close that gap.
