AdSpark – Better Know A Sponsor

adsparkMatt McGlothlin (@bitflipper1) founded AdSpark (@adsparkpromos), a socially responsible promotional products company, in the fourth quarter of 2010. AdSpark sells everything from recycled koozies and pens to earbuds and usb mice. Our Ignite Charlotte logo has never looked better than on one of his recommended products.

The thing we like most about working with Matt is his ability to enlighten us to the many choices we have in sustainable promotional products made from recycled materials. We also love the fact that when we purchase items from AdSpark, 5% of the proceeds from every order goes to a non-profit of our choice. This not only keeps in line with our community focused philosophy, but Matt’s as well.

AdSpark has been a proud Ignite Charlotte sponsor since 2011 and we are honored to work with Matt and his company.
