At Strats & Sparks we rely on a team that is more than the sum of its parts. Our strength lies in bringing together different personalities and disciplines in a constructive framework and combining them in a way that creates the best possible impact for our clients.
We connect financial consulting, business development, marketing and AI.

This creates a model that does not react to short-term trends but endures in the long run. We unite expertise and experience, logic and intuition, discipline and creativity. This combination makes us strong, strengthens our clients and opens up solutions that do not just work but move things forward.
