What the work was
The Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), also known as the Exchange for Entrepreneurs, has a goal to provide public companies with a combination of cost-efficient access to capital markets and exceptional service. A trusted partner of the CSE since 2014, Sparx has helped create and deploy numerous social media posts that champion the CSE’s increasing recognition of diverse voices and highlight their diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives.
What we delivered

Asian Heritage Month: Bringing Diversity to Wealth Management
For an Asian Heritage Month edition of the CSE’s The Exchange for Entrepreneurs Podcast, hosted by Phillip Shum and featuring Anish Chopra, Sparx created the graphics and copy for the social post and assisted in editing the podcast’s audio and video.

Pride Month: Gaingels
For Pride Month, we created the graphics and copy for the CSE’s social post spotlighting Gaingels, an investment syndicate that supports and represents the LGBTQ+ community and its allies in the venture capital space.

Exchange for Entrepreneurs Podcast: Indigenous Reconciliation
To aid the promotional efforts of the Indigenous Reconciliation episode of CSE’s The Exchange for Entrepreneurs Podcast, hosted by Barrington Miller and featuring Paul Rice and Michael Perron, we assisted in audio and video editing and created social posts. The podcast shines a light on Indigenous views of business and how Indigenous groups and non-Indigenous corporations can approach mutually beneficial partnerships.

National Indigenous History Month
To mark National Indigenous History Month, we created the graphics and copy for the CSE’s social post honouring the cultures, traditions, and experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada, and acknowledging the importance of moving together toward reconciliation.
