My Biography

I’m Mark Prescott and while I’d like to describe myself as a professional concert pianist, I actually describe myself as a creative producer and cultural entrepreneur. 

I run Spark a creative consultancy that works with cultural organisations, cities, and commercial brands.  Our work ranges from programming and commissioning major projects and festivals, to creating theatrical and hopefully magical experiences for brands and slightly more serious cultural strategy and public affairs consulting.  Clients have included Unilever, Historic Royal Palaces, Marmite, British Council, Courvoisier, Wellcome Trust, Letchworth Garden City, Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Universal Music. 

Professionally and personally I’m endlessly curious about cultural trends and innovation and, frankly, what gets audiences really excited and why.  With Richard and Cimeon, I wanted to create a space where a group of fun, interested and like-minded people could discuss, argue and debate a bunch of interesting arts-related stuff.
