Stuart’s story – I started out as an oil broker and trader, then became a financial advisor before I cold called my way in to the world of advertising! I headed up Business Development with DDB in Sydney and then Australia and then was transferred with DDB to New York, my initial focus before I worked across North American offices. I then set up SPARKIN and consulted in business building to a range of companies, Organic, Rapp Collins, Porter Novelli and SpikeDDB, amongst others. I then set up SPARKIN mark two, realizing that the best way to build business was to focus on what clients seek when they select an agency partnership…Talented, entrepreneurial problem-solvers/business builders. My evolution and SPARKIN’s has been to develop from a search agency to one focused on developing people’s careers wherever they are.
