About

Spark + Buzz Communications is a woman-owned strategic communications consultancy that helps businesses tell their story to inspire audiences and galvanize growth through creative and integrated branding, marketing and public relations solutions.

Launched in 2019, Spark + Buzz was created by our Founder Courtney Malengo. As a new mom, she didn't want to choose between her professional passions and her then-infant son. We believe moms are integral to the success of our society, not only in roles of caretaking and/or caregiving, but in the workplace too, so we have flexible schedules to accommodate family first.

The Spark Collective is a faith-based social community encouraging female founders in their entrepreneurial journeys. In-person gatherings formally occur six times a year in Montgomery County, Maryland. The Spark Collective and Spark + Buzz Communications also co-host the annual Spark Summit, a day-retreat open to all faith-led female founders and business owners.

Qualifications

Candidate should be a strong writer and communicator, and familiar with WordPress, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Zoom/Google Meet, Canva, Asana, MailChimp, Eventbrite, Google Analytics and HubSpot (or other CRM systems).
