About Digital Spark
Three crafts. One story. Video, photography and animation, made in Charlotte, North Carolina since 2014.
One part creative agency, one part production house. The people who think up the work are the people who make it.
Where it started
Digital Spark started with two people running the video, photography, and motion graphics department of a global organization. Adam Sewell and Joshua Hieber spent those years traveling the world, creating branding and promotional work, and learning what production looks like at scale.
Within six months of working together, the plan had taken hold. In 2014 they left to build something of their own: a studio that could create beyond the walls of one organization, serve more industries, and work without creative restriction.
What began as a video production company has grown over twelve years into a full creative production house. Motion, stills, and animation. Still bootstrapped, still independent, still run by the two people who started it.
The team
How we work
The difference between a good campaign and one that shifts a company's trajectory is the creative inside it. So that's where we put our attention: developing the idea, then running the production that gets it made.
The client is always heard. But sometimes what a client asks for is not what they need, and we say so. Creative partner, not order-taker.
Understood.
We listen before we build.
Weight lifted.
We take it from you and run.
In good hands.
From first conversation to final delivery.
Where we fit
We partner with internal marketing teams and agencies that need creative development and production capabilities to support a launch, campaign, or ongoing content needs.
You don't need a finished concept or production plan to begin. Bring us the objective, the audience, and the challenge. We work with your team to develop the creative and define the scope.
What we are not
- Not a media buying or campaign deployment partner. We develop and produce the creative assets. Your marketing team or agency manages placement, distribution, and ad spend.
- Not limited to one discipline. We offer motion, stills, and animation, with experienced creative and technical specialists across each discipline.
- Not simply a crew for hire. We bring creative development, production planning, and leadership oversight, whether we build the concept together or execute an established direction.
- Not the right partner without a clear objective. We can develop the story and production plan, but the work needs a business purpose to build around.
