SPARKIN (founded by Stuart Parkin) is a career coaching agency focused on helping career progression and optimization for advertising and marketing executives. We work with affiliates in key centers in the United States and around the globe.
Our experience is based on the belief that most things are attainable, given a clear focus, some compromises and a ‘do whatever it takes attitude’. It is this approach and mentality that helped manifest Stuart’s last four corporate jobs, (all of which were created for him) as well as the two businesses he has generated subsequent to his corporate roles. It is this knowledge that we offer to help you clarify and attain the goals you set for yourself.
Stuart Parkin has over twenty years of new business/sales and marketing experience, working for and consulting to major agencies (Who include amongst others: DDB, Spike DDB, Organic, Porter Novelli & Rapp Collins) here and overseas in London, Tokyo, and Sydney. Hired throughout his career to proactively make things happen, typically to help build corporate brands, I now offer this expertise to help individual ‘brands.’
Equipped with undergraduate and advanced degrees in marketing management and organizational psychology, I have written several books on various subjects both related to my business and not, including short stories, poetry, and one best selling thriller, published by Harper Collins. I have had several articles published in U.S advertising media relating to the issues of talent, personal branding, and career optimization.
