What We Do
VitalSpark partners with organizations to design motivation systems for customers, employees, and long-term user journeys.
Most organizations invest heavily in products, incentives, and data — but lack a partner focused on embedding nudge theory and motivation science into the moments that actually shape behavior.
Our work focuses on:
-
Bridging the gap between existing and desired behavior
-
Increasing customer lifetime value
-
Supporting behavior change without increasing cognitive burden
-
Improving sustained engagement and participation
The Key is MOTIVATION. This is why we created VitalSpark.
Solving the Motivation Crisis
