“Spafax has been at the forefront of developing new media platforms for over 25 years,” says Raymond Girard, President of Spafax Interactive and Sparksheet’s publisher, “and the rapid adoption of tablet readers by consumers gives us the opportunity to efficiently disseminate our content to a much larger and more diverse audience.”

It also includes original “think pieces” on cutting-edge topics ranging from client-agency relationships and the Chinese hotel industry, to how airlines are engaging customers through social media sites like Twitter, Flickr and YouTube.

“Our content is all about engagement, about the importance of meeting customers, passengers, or readers in their medium of choice,” says Dan Levy, Sparksheet’s editor. “So it only makes sense for us to extend our reach into this new and exciting transmedia space.”
