New York – September 30, 2015 – Spark City, a professional services firm with a focus on pricing and positioning for luxury products and services, today announced a strategic alliance with Phoenix-based luxury brand strategy firm KODA. The two companies have inked a deal giving premium product and service providers a full-service solution that engages customers from brand strategy through the sales cycle.
“This partnership addresses a specific client and market need facing today’s highly competitive premium and luxury brands,” said Lisa Hendrickson, president of Spark City. “Given the accelerating sales cycle for premium and luxury products, it’s more important than ever to have a confluence of services that helps these brands reach their audience and sell into it efficiently and effectively.”
The strategic alliance increases the reach of both companies, giving them a presence on the East Coast and in the Western U.S.
“Joining forces with Spark City is a natural fit for creating a comprehensive offering for premium and luxury brands,” said David Schoenecker, president of KODA. “Countless organizations keep their finance and brand/marketing operations in separate silos, but when they’re able to work in unison, it opens up endless opportunities for better positioning, retention, and greater market share. With each of our firms possessing vast knowledge in their respective areas of expertise, the offering to luxury brands around the globe is very compelling.”
