About SparkStory

The People You Meet Are The People Doing The Work.

SparkStory was built by two marketers, one of them a co-founder of an Inc. 5000 agency, who wanted to do it differently: senior strategy, published prices, and results our clients let us name.

The Team Of Specialists at SparkStory

You work with us. Not around us.

CEO & Co-Founder

Jennifer Christensen

Jennifer co-founded an agency and scaled it to three consecutive years of Inc. 5000 recognition as one of America's fastest-growing companies, before exiting in 2025. With 20+ years of executive marketing experience, she has led growth strategy for organizations across Alaska and nationally. When you work with SparkStory, Jennifer is your Fractional CMO, not a title on a proposal, but the person in your meetings.

Sara Jokela

Sara is the reason SparkStory clients always know what's happening, what's next, and what it costs. As co-founder and COO, she owns every project from kickoff to launch, turning strategy into clear schedules and deliverables, and turning "when will this be done?" into a question you never have to ask. She's guided 50+ client projects and 20+ website builds to the finish line, and she brings the same standard to every one: no surprises, no jargon, no guesswork. When you hire SparkStory, you get a founder on your project, not a handoff.
