Who We Are in the UK?

Spark Foundry, the Acceleration Agency.

We help brands to identify, learn and respond to opportunities faster than the competition.

Every client has an area of their business they need to accelerate, from short-term goals to long-term transformation.

We’ve proven our approach during the most difficult year on record. Now we’re using it to provide a launchpad for their future.

Come be an accelerator with us.

• How we accelerate
• Planning: an approach that works in practice rather than theory, arming planners with the ability to create cutting edge campaigns
• Intelligence: a suite of tools that give definitive answers to big questions, and uncovers actionable insights about real people
• Trading: a model built on flexibility and trusted relationships, underpinned with bold guarantees
• Relationships: a culture of asking challenging questions to better understand the brief – we are not a yes agency
• People: a strong history of recruiting talent from diverse backgrounds and accelerating their careers
• Our Commitment

We are diverse though our experience, people and the clients we look after - and we celebrate that diversity.

Our people hold us accountable to our beliefs and via regular surveys and our grass roots Diversity, Equity & Inclusion team, The Collective, and internal next generation board, Firestarters, we hold regular events and work continually towards generating ideas, initiatives and educating our people to ensure we are a diverse and inclusive agency.

As part of our dedication to create an inclusive and diverse workforce, Spark Foundry is committed to equal access to opportunity for people without regard to race, age, sex, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion.

The recruitment process

• Step 1: Apply and get started!

• Step 2: Show us your skills and strengths – complete some fun, interactive tasks through our assessment tool delivered in partnership with Arctic Shores.

Look out for this in your emails following your application!

• Step 3: A quick chat with a recruiter to get to know you better and for you to ask any questions and let us know if you require any adjustments.
• Step 4: Join us for a two stage interview where you can showcase your skills and strengths.
• Step 5: We’ll give you feedback, post assessment day, whether or not we move forward with your application.
• What to Expect from the Arctic Shores Assessment

As part of our selection process, we use an Arctic Shores game-based assessment to help us understand your natural strengths in a fair, engaging way.

This isn’t a quiz about what you know, it’s about showing how you think, behave and solve problems in real time.

• What it is
• A series of interactive tasks (games) designed to measure problem-solving, decision-making, adaptability, focus and other work-relevant behaviours.
• You won’t see typical questions, instead, you’ll play activities that look and feel like simple games.
• How it works
• You’ll receive an email with a link and simple instructions.
• Before the official assessment you can try a practice task so you’re confident with the format.
• The assessment usually has around 7-9 tasks and should take about the same time as a standard online test.
• Tips to succeed
• Choose a quiet, distraction-free space with a reliable device.
• Read the instructions carefully before starting each activity.
• Be yourself - Arctic Shores is designed to capture how you naturally approach challenges, not what you think is the “right” answer.
• After you finish
• Candidates receive a personalised feedback report that explains what your responses suggest about your strengths - valuable insight whether you join us or not.
• There are no right or wrong answers - your results simply help us understand

Spark Foundry offers a wide range of benefits to support our employees.

Full details are shared when you join, but highlights include core benefits such as Pension, Life Assurance, and Private Medical cover, alongside enhanced policies like Reflection Days and Shared Parental Leave.

• You’ll also have access to a range of additional initiatives, including:
• Publicis Career Page

Publicis Groupe works primarily from the office or our clients\' office four days per week.

We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer.

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, and do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or belief, disability, age, citizenship, relationship status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other protected characteristic.

We are committed to providing a fair, accessible, and inclusive recruitment process.

If you have any access needs - for example, related to disability, neurodivergence, or a health condition - please let us know.

We’ll work with you to ensure the process works for you.

Sharing this information will never impact your application.

Guided by our values, we listen with empathy, uplift each other, take responsibility, and embrace change - building a culture where everyone feels seen, respected, and genuinely included.
