Our clients, The Dallas Farmers Market Friends, wanted their neighbors to know The Dallas Farmers Market now accepts the Lone Star Card (a debit card that replaced the old food stamps program). Since grocery stores rarely develop in low income areas like the ones surrounding the market, fast food chains and corner stores often become the only accessible and affordable eating options. This poster campaign was designed to let these residents know that a healthier option is right around the corner. Our thanks go out to digital illustrator, Richard Thompson.
Welcome to the Furnace
Finely roasted musings. Burnt offerings.
Earlier this week we celebrated a fun and successful April. There’s been a lot happening lately and we enjoyed the opportunity to come together and catch up on what’s been going on here at Firehouse. This month corks went to Kellyn and Ginny for their hard work and dedication to their clients’ projects. Both of these ladies work long hours and over the last month especially they’ve been working harder than ever and it shows. Greg earned a bottle cap for his blog post, Cheers, highlighting the new “Work is Worth It” campaign for NCA. The good news doesn’t stop there. We also celebrated two promotions within the Account Management department: Elizabeth and Courtney were promoted to Senior Account Executives. Lastly, we wrapped things up with a little entertainment. Our new Assistant Digital Strategist Ashley Keene serenaded us with a (somewhat-choreographed) rendition of “Skater Girl.” We’re looking forward to a fun summer here at Firehouse – including a new group Read More
Last week, Doug, Meredith, Chanell, Ashley and I attended the Anne Frank Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. If you’re not aware, Anne Frank Elementary is a school where Firehousers volunteer to help shape the young minds of Dallas, Texas. It’s an amazing school, and we’re lucky to get to hang out there at least once a month. Not only were we provided with an amazing (and might I say: homemade) multicultural lunch, we were also blown away by the entertainment. For starters, the pre-kindergarden choir showed us how it’s done. Not only vocally – they did not hesitate to bust out some dance skills. Yes, they performed the Electric Slide and the ABC Rock and did not miss a beat. We were impressed. The luncheon was wrapped up with a raffle drawing, where Ashley won a Disney Princess puzzle and Chanell won a Blue’s Clues book. We know what they’ll be doing this week. Needless to say, we’re grateful to have been invited to the Read More
A year ago, we debuted our first work for the National Cheerleaders Association. Thanks to our fearless clients at NCA, it was unlike anything else in the category, and the phrase “The Work is Worth it” quickly became the rallying cry for cheer athletes across the country (Seriously, search #theworkisworthit on Twitter or Instagram. It’s crazy.) So after a great first year, it was time for round two. And as you can see below, the work continues to be worth it. Our thanks go out to the ridiculous photographic skills of Dennis Murphy and the retouching wizardry of Imaginary Lines.
Last Friday, Firehouse hosted its 3rd annual April Foos Tournament benefitting Taylor’s Gift. We decided to switch things up this year and headed over to Milo Butterfingers for our two-on-two tourney. We were very excited to welcome over 20 teams and many more spectators and cheerleaders. Todd Storch, co-founder of Taylor’s Gift, kicked off our tournament. After quite a few close (and some not so close) games, we named Zack and Ryan the official winners of the tournament. Congrats to our 3 final teams from Firehouse and Specific Media! We cannot thank our guests enough for helping us support this cause that is so important to us – especially during National Donate Life Month. We were able to raise over $2,000 dollars for Taylor’s Gift to help increase organ donation registries, provide support and resources to those touched by organ donation and offer scholarships. Special thanks also to Tom and Tommy from Milo Butterfingers – such a great bar in Read More

March was a blur for us here at the agency. Somehow we find ourselves already in April and celebrating another Champagne Thursday (or in this month’s case, Wednesday). We came together as an agency to toast a busy, yet fruitful month here at Firehouse and handed out a few corks during our monthly celebration. Courtney earned a cork for her work in launching new client websites as well as leading several projects down successful paths, and Harry earned a cork for knocking Interstate Batteries’ new radio spots out of the park. Greg also earned a bottle cap for his work on our Happy Spring video (which if you haven’t watched, you should. Now.) Cheers to a great March and to an even better April. Up first, our annual April Foos Touranment benefitting Taylor’s Gift on April 12 – we hope to see you there.
Although we like to pull pranks on each other here at Firehouse, April 1st is not just April Fool’s Day for us here at the agency. April 1st kicks off National Donate Life Month, which is especially important to our friends at the Taylor’s Gift Foundation. National Donate Life Month encourages Americans to register as organ donors and to celebrate those who have saved lives through the gift of donation. In April, Taylor’s Gift invites you to Paint It Forward! by painting your nails Taylor Blue and sharing information about organ donation registration through social media. OPI even created an exclusive Taylor Blue nail color (only available on TaylorsGift.org) to support the mission of Taylor’s Gift. Paint It Forward! aims to raise awareness and funds to provide programs and services for those affected by organ donation: the transplant candidates waiting for a transplant, the recipients who have received a transplant, and donor families who have provided life-giving gifts so others can Read More
