About Us
Small but mighty. Creative but practical. Transparent but attentive.
Sparks and Fuel is a two-person team based in Portland, Maine that offers white-glove web marketing services to a curated group of clients. We pride ourselves on attention to detail, creative thinking, easy accessibility and honest communication. There is no “front desk” or customer service team. It’s us working with you, and we’re reachable virtually any time.
Our overarching philosophy – in design, workflow, information architecture and strategic thinking – is to simplify. Modern tools and automation can revolutionize operations for business owners and marketing managers with limited time for daily marketing requirements. But we always ensure we never lose the human touch. The personality. The spark.
Finding help in digital marketing can be a challenge
Having worked extensively on both client and agency sides, we’ve seen it all. As clients, we felt the frustration when large agencies developed beautiful strategies with no implementation plans. We’ve watched as agencies impressed clients in kickoff meetings, only to hand projects to inaccessible departments or interns. And the price tags? Generally jaw-dropping—and not in a good way.
Your business deserves better
Sparks and Fuel was born out of a desire to do better. As tactical marketers, we both work with clients to develop a strategy to meet the business objectives, as well as personally implement and execute each deliverable. We don’t just want to work with you—we try to actively empower you when possible with tools to become better marketers yourselves. We are small and nimble, so we can’t hide behind the sprawl of a large agency. And we don’t want to. Our mission is helping small and medium-sized businesses access the same quality work that larger agencies overcharge for in a way that is collaborative, over-delivers, and allows you to grow and be successful.
Our Commitment to Sustainability: 1% for the Planet
At Sparks and Fuel, our dedication extends beyond marketing to environmental stewardship. As a certified member of 1% for the Planet, we commit 1% of our annual sales directly to environmental nonprofits tackling our world’s most pressing challenges. This reflects our belief that sustainable marketing goes hand-in-hand with sustainable business practices.
When you work with us, your success directly contributes to environmental solutions without any additional effort on your part—just one more way we deliver value beyond the expected. It’s part of our commitment to a collective future where ethical business and environmental responsibility are inseparable.
