by In today’s media-driven world, brands, publishers, and creative agencies are constantly looking for ways to streamline content management, increase audience engagement, and reduce the complexity (and cost) of managing fragmented systems. That’s exactly why we built New Spark Platform — a SaaS CMS built from the ground up to handle user-generated content (UGC) at scale, while offering the flexibility and extensibility needed by modern teams.
Let’s explore why New Spark is more than just a CMS — it’s your new digital content infrastructure.
- ✅ A unified CMS built around UGC
- ✅ Full API suite for developers
- ✅ No-code templating for non-technical users
- ✅ AI-powered moderation & metadata management
- ✅ White-label apps for contests, communities, and video
- ✅ Enterprise-grade file transfer & distribution
Why juggle multiple platforms when New Spark does it all?
1. A True UGC-Centric CMS
Unlike traditional CMS platforms that treat UGC as an afterthought, New Spark is designed from the ground up for user-generated content.
- Centralized hub for all content (videos, images, text, audio).
- Advanced user & role management (creators, moderators, admins).
- Seamless ingestion from web, mobile, and third-party sources.
2. Developer-Friendly & No-Code Customization
For Developers:
Developers love flexibility. New Spark offers a complete and modern set of APIs — whether you prefer REST, GraphQL, or JSON-based endpoints, our platform integrates cleanly with your stack. Build exactly what you need, without hitting the limits of older systems.
- Full API suite (REST, JSON, GraphQL) for deep integrations.
- Webhooks & serverless workflows to automate processes.
- Flexible storage options (on-prem, cloud, hybrid).
For Non-Developers:
Not everyone on your team is a developer. For designers and editors who know HTML but aren’t comfortable with APIs, our custom templating language offers a powerful way to create custom experiences — without writing a single line of JavaScript.
- Custom templating language (HTML-like syntax) for easy UI customization.
- Drag-and-drop tools for rapid landing pages, galleries, and feeds.
- Pre-built modules for contests, comments, and upload forms.
3. AI-Powered Moderation & Metadata Management
Smart Moderation
- Auto-flag NSFW, spam, or policy-breaking content.
- Custom rulesets for brand safety.
- Human-in-the-loop review workflows.
AI Metadata & Tagging
- Auto-tag media (objects, scenes, emotions).
- Celebrity & custom face recognition (identify VIPs or employees).
- Speech-to-text & sentiment analysis.
4. Enterprise-Grade File Handling
Move large media files in and out with ease. New Spark connects directly to third-party OVPs, CDNs, and storage locations. Whether you need to ingest high-res video or deliver compressed formats downstream, our file transfer workflows have you covered.
5. White-Label Solutions (No Coding Required)
Need a custom contest, community hub, or video portal? New Spark provides ready-to-deploy white-label solutions:
- 🏆 Contest & Voting Platform
- 💬 Community Engagement Hub
- 🎥 Video Portal & Review Tool
- 📤 Powerful Upload Widget
6. Real-Time Notifications (Slack, APNs, Firebase, Email)
Keep your users and teams in the loop with a built-in notification engine that supports Slack, Firebase, and APNS. Whether you’re alerting admins about new uploads or sending confirmations to users, communication happens where your team already works.

Or you could use New Spark Platform.
We believe in simplifying the stack, empowering your teams, and delivering exceptional media experiences without complexity. With New Spark, you get:
- A centralized media CMS
- Developer-ready APIs
- Non-technical templates
