The Canadian Securities Exchange
Showcasing the CSE’s capital market savvy and expertise
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.
Their flagship publication, Canadian Securities Exchange Magazine, features the stories of business leaders and entrepreneurs in the capital markets, providing discourse around the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities within a specific game-changing sector, including mining, technology, psychedelics, cannabis, and plant-based foods.
Sparx is involved in every step of the creation process, from developing the flatplan, editing copy, and creating supplementary content, to filling advertising space. We have an excellent track record of delivering on time, on budget, and exceeding the CSE’s expectations, so they can proudly distribute these publications at events and via their digital channels.

Sparx’s Make The World Better Magazine
Putting words to page to amplify good
Make The World Better Magazine is
Sparx’s digital and print publication, which shares the incredible
stories of organizations and individuals that are driving positive
impact. Each issue shines a light on game-changing initiatives to
spark conversation, raise awareness, and inspire communities to work
together to build a better future.
To create each issue, we start by reaching out to various impact-driven individuals and organizations we would like to feature based on the theme of the issue. Then, we design flatplans, copyedit interviews, write articles to match the theme, and meticulously craft every page.
Upon publication, we release social media content and blog posts to announce the launch, highlight featured companies and individuals, and further amplify the good that’s being done by our featured guests.

Collaborating on a special Wellbeing Economy issue
We had the pleasure of working with internationally-renowned experts in purpose and wellbeing, Dr. Victoria Hurth and Professor Lorenzo Fioramonti, for a special Wellbeing Economy issue of Make The World Better Magazine.
While Sparx provided copyediting, design, and project management, the companies, organizations, and content in this edition were curated by Dr. Victoria Hurth and Professor Lorenzo Fioramonti. The duo also penned two in-depth editorials that bring into hyperfocus the perils of maintaining a “business as usual” approach and offer the clearest arguments in favour of pursuing a Wellbeing Economy.
The Sparx team mentioned that they produce and publish Make The World Better Magazine and suggested this might be a perfect way to bring to life the emerging global movement toward a Wellbeing Economy, made real by purpose-driven organizations and powered by meaningful work and lives. [...] The issue [was launched in April 2024] — to huge excitement and engagement on LinkedIn and with many asking for print versions or other ways to spread the content. This is an indication that this special issue will be an important vehicle for achieving the wide levels of empowerment and connection of energy in this space.
