Who founded and leads Bospar?

O'Dwyer's reports that Boehlke and Sparrer launched Bospar in 2015 with two people and a vision of a virtual agency, and Yespress says Boehlke, Sparrer and Carpenter were colleagues from a larger agency. Bospar's 2018 release describes its principals as a long-time PR and tech industry veteran, a former broadcast TV producer and media veteran, a PR agency manager from the corporate side of a global law firm and an executive with large agency and public company credentials.

Sparrer told PR Daily that Bospar launched in 2015 as a national, work-from-home agency, a move the trade press called prescient. In November 2018 Bospar announced that Sparrer was named PR Star of 2018 at Bulldog Reporter's Stars of PR Awards and that the firm won nine awards. Sparrer said in that release that the boutique had secured more than 4,500 earned placements that year and that Boehlke was named to the Holmes Report's Innovator 25. Yespress reports that Bospar won PRSA's Silver Anvil for Best Small Agency in May 2026 and promoted Erin Jundef and Shaun Leavy to senior vice president.

What does Bospar do?

Bospar describes itself as a "politely pushy" tech and health PR and marketing agency whose staff includes marketing and PR experts and veteran journalists, working in earned and social media, analyst and investor relations, content creation and placement, and public affairs. O'Dwyer's quotes Sparrer saying that after 2022 many agencies that lived on venture-backed startups went quiet. Yespress lists Audit*E, Push*E, a beta AI assistant trained on Bospar's work, and an 11-question self-assessment called Design Your PR Plan. EPR's technology PR and healthcare PR sections cover its categories.

Which clients has Bospar worked with?

Yespress lists Snowflake, Marqeta, Unisys, Carta Healthcare, Tredence, RealSense and San Francisco Pride as publicly named clients. Bospar's own boilerplate names Alkermes, Standigm, Marqeta, Snowflake and Unisys. O'Dwyer's reported that Bospar was named analyst relations agency of record for the HR and payroll software company Remote. Sparrer's 2018 release mentions work with George Takei and Snowflake Computing.

How large is Bospar?

The firm's December 2025 release gave a headcount of 80. PRovoke Media's 2025 figures, as summarized by Yespress, are more than 70 employees across 19 states, 55 new clients and 18 percent revenue growth. Yespress also says Bospar had accumulated 216 awards by its tenth anniversary, citing the firm's anniversary podcast and PRSA program materials.

How does Bospar operate?

Sparrer told PR Daily he believes professional services firms will become more remote-first as they invest in people rather than buildings. O'Dwyer's lists the firm's virtual presence across San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago and Austin. Bospar's release language says the distributed agency model provides national support.
