The Team

Spark Foundry’s SEO team sits within the overall Performance Department together with the performance disciplines.

We are diverse in our experience, personalities, nationalities and the clients we look after - and we celebrate that diversity.  Our clients are professional but also creative and fun and this is reflected in the way we work and relate to each other.  We know the way to deliver great work is to work together – and we enjoy it. We are a tight-knit team who socialise together and share in each other’s successes.

We are passionate about the sectors our clients work in and would welcome people who share our enthusiasm.
