Why Donating Plasma is A Lot Like Running a Creative Business

Suzanne Wynn

Updated: Nov 5, 2024


So, I recently decided to donate plasma—that life-saving liquid gold they collect by hooking you up to a bag. Sitting there in a slightly less-than-comfortable chair, with my arm bent at a weird angle, I started thinking: donating plasma is a lot like running a creative business, like Sound Spark Studio.


Stay with me here...


1. It's About Giving Back

When you donate plasma, you're literally giving a part of yourself to help others. In the creative business world, it's not that different. At Sound Spark Studio, we pour our creativity, ideas, and energy into every project. We're here to give clients our best work because we know it can make their messages resonate and make an impact.


2. Sometimes, It’s Draining—But Worth It

Let’s be real: there are days when the creative process can leave you feeling as drained as a plasma bag after a session. Ideas don’t always flow, deadlines pile up, and clients may ask for "just one more revision." But then comes the payoff—the satisfaction of a finished product and knowing that all the hard work was worth it. Just like walking out of the donation center with the knowledge you’ve done something good (and maybe treating yourself to a cookie after), those creative wins are worth the effort too.


3. Consistency is Key

Donating plasma isn’t a one-and-done kind of thing; it’s all about consistency. Running a creative business is the same. At Sound Spark Studio, we don’t show up just once, deliver a stellar project, and call it quits. We keep showing up, pushing boundaries, coming up with fresh ideas, and making sure every project sparks something new and unforgettable. Consistency is what builds trust, whether it’s in a donation center or in the client’s boardroom.


4. It Requires Patience (And a Little Pain)

Okay, so I’m not gonna lie—getting that needle in your arm can sting a bit (for me the removal was even worse!). And, just like getting feedback from a client that starts with “We love it, but…”—ouch. Both scenarios take patience. That little pinch or bit of criticism? It leads to something better. Plasma saves lives, and constructive feedback helps us create work that resonates even more.


5. The Reward Feels Good

Yes, there’s a financial reward for donating plasma, but the real payoff is the feeling of doing something that matters. It's the same at Sound Spark Studios. Of course, we appreciate getting paid (who doesn’t?), but our real reward is in creating something that lights up the room, tells a compelling story, and makes people say, “Wow, that’s exactly what I needed.”


So, yeah, donating plasma feels a bit like running this wild, creative ride we call Sound Spark Studios. It’s all about giving, consistency, patience, and that sweet reward of knowing you’ve made a difference. And if you’re ever looking for a way to give back—and get a free snack—you might just want to give plasma a shot too.
