We asked everyone in the agency to take a screen shot of their Top 25 Most Played list in iTunes. You know, to get an idea of our collective taste as an agency. In hindsight, we wish we wouldn’t have.

We’re on year 3 of a tradition started at Firehouse where we select two individuals to honor at the end of the year. The awards are given for the Teammate of the Year and Firehouse MVP. These lucky honorees then get to wait a few months to receive their much coveted bobblehead self-portrait. But its [...]
I was able to take my second mission trip a bit sooner than expected (or desired by my wife). Four members of our church, including our senior pastor, left on April 16th for an eight-day trip to Bolaven Farms in Laos.

How rich is this tradition you ask? These teams have played on Thanksgiving Day over 60 times in a rivalry that dates back to [...]
One of Firehouse’s very own, Silver Cuellar, got 45 seconds (or so) of fame on the local news on Sunday.
CBS 11 here in Dallas featured Silver in a segment on the “Movember” fundraising effort that has men everywhere growing a ’stache to raise money to fight prostate and testicular cancer. Great cause… unfortunately, [...]

But can it cure cancer?
Probably not, but it can help raise cancer awareness and some much [...]
Firehouse is an idea-driven ad agency, and this is where we let out a lot of the stuff that lives in our heads. So read, play, comment and even challenge us, and hopefully we will all get a little smarter.
