Story
Moderators who are experts in their own fields
A moderator can be a trainer, a painter, a writer, a mind devoted to philosophy. Each is an expert in their own field — and each brings their own audience. For your brand, the moderator whose audience fits carries the conversation: reading and compiling the responses left on the Sparks, and moving them through their own audience into your most accurate communication, with creativity at the forefront.
Every voice that joins through a moderator widens the audience your brand can speak to. The desk is led by communication strategist Belmin Dumlu Savaskan, and it grows with curators — sector by sector, season by season.

Communication strategist & writer — founder
Sets the communication strategy: which conversations matter for your brand, and how the salon's answers become your message.
Moderators with their own audience
A trainer, a painter, a writer, a philosopher
Each moderator works through their own audience. They read every response on the Sparks, compile them into insights, and carry them to the people who already listen to them — for your brand, from a voice it trusts.
Curators in growth
The team expands
As the salon widens, curators join the desk — so your sector is always read by someone who knows it from the inside.
"A space speaks before anyone says a word. Our work is to make sure it says something true."

A kind of reverse sublime
Just as in Wim Wenders's film Wings of Desire. In the film, one of the angels who drift above the city of Berlin, listening to people's thoughts, asks to give up his immortality and become an ordinary, embodied, imperfect human. When a piece of armour falls on his head from the sky, he wakes half-conscious and sees the blood on his head. He smiles. He returns to the happiness of small things, of ordinary things. Against Kant's concept of the sublime — that blend, in short, of admiration, awe and divinity — it is the beauty of the ordinary that captivates. A kind of reverse sublime!
