Facts about Creative Spark from their own site and LinkedIn · October 7, 2026
How each company describes itself
Creative Spark
Creative Spark describes itself as a creative brand agency that helps brands become unstoppable, under the line “Becoming unstoppable starts here.” Its four services are brand strategy and identity, marketing campaigns, website design, and video and 3D content.
The agency is based in Manchester, and its about page cites more than 20 years in business. LinkedIn lists 11–50 employees. Work shown on their site includes Sony Music, British Gypsum, GBG Loqate, and Catapult.
Humbleteam
Our team now designs apps and web projects 20–40% faster thanks to AI skills. That is how a B2B banking MVP with ING Amsterdam reached a tested product in 5 days, and how an AI text-to-video platform got its prototype in 15 days.
We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai, focused on digital products. Since 2017 we have shipped 56 fintechs, studied 30+ healthtech platforms, delivered 200+ projects, and won 80+ design awards.
Why product teams choose us over Creative Spark
Three differences for a team building an app or platform.
AI that speeds up delivery
Our designers work 20–40% faster thanks to AI skills, so a signed brief reaches its first clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average. A prototype for an AI text-to-video platform took 15 days, and a B2B banking MVP with ING went from zero to tested in 5 days. We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.
Agents left inside your team
Our flagship AI service installs agents inside your own design team for handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code drafts. They run in your accounts, a human reviews their output before anything ships, and they stay after the engagement. We also run AI training for product teams.
Product depth since 2017
Since 2017 we have delivered 200+ projects, shipped 56 fintechs, worked with 30+ major banks, and studied 30+ healthtech platforms. We have won 80+ design awards, 14 of them Awwwards. Clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews, and the senior designers on your first call do the work.

When Creative Spark is the better call
Two briefs where a brand and marketing agency fits better.
Brand, campaign, and video together
Creative Spark offers brand identity, marketing campaigns, websites, and video and 3D content under one roof. If the brief is a rebrand rolled out through ads, social, and film, that combination fits.
A team you can visit in Manchester
Their studio is on Swan Street in Manchester, and their about page puts close collaboration and human connection at the center of its approach. For a North West business that wants its agency in the room, that is a real advantage.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Creative Spark?
Yes, when the project is an app, platform, or product website. We design 20–40% faster with AI skills, took a B2B banking MVP with ING to a tested product in 5 days, and have delivered 200+ projects since 2017. Creative Spark is a Manchester brand agency with 20+ years in business, focused on brand, marketing, web, and video.
Humbleteam or Creative Spark: who delivers faster?
We publish dated timelines, and Creative Spark’s site does not. Ours: 5 days to a tested B2B banking MVP with ING, 15 days to an AI text-to-video prototype, and 4 weeks for Logitech’s app, website, and design system to reach production. A signed brief reaches its first clickable prototype in 2 weeks on average, and we reply within 24 hours.
Which one fits a team that wants AI in its design process?
We do. Our flagship service installs AI agents inside your design team for handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code drafts, with human review before anything ships, and the agents stay after we leave. We also train product teams on AI. Creative Spark’s site does not describe AI in its services.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
We are 49 people in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers on your first call do the work, averaging 9 years of experience. LinkedIn lists Creative Spark at 11–50 employees, and its about page introduces a team led by its managing director. Ask each agency which named people will work on your project every week.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
Neither company publishes prices. We quote a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer on the first call, and a project can start next week. We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours. Creative Spark’s site lists a phone number and a project form, and publishes no rates or start dates.
