Making lists is something I’m really good at. Unfortunately, thinking of cool names for said lists is not. I’ve been secretly keeping track of the things I’ve learned this summer, just in case anyone asks me to prove that I did something other than drink champagne on occasional Thursdays. So, here it goes, with the [...]

Thought I’d share some new television work we created for a local cosmetic surgery client. This 0:15 spot was created by @gregorylayne and @silvercuellar3 to highlight ASA’s new painless hair transplanting technology. Special thanks to our friends over at Red Car editorial for all the help. Take a look. //

So, we just had a party here at the agency to celebrate our being named as Agency of The Year (southwest region) at Advertising Age’s Small Agency Conference. It was a great time. Great for all of the people here at the agency. A chance to stop for a moment and take a breath. Say [...]

Congratulations Jan Norton — a part of our extended Firehouse family. Jan graduated with Honors from Tarrant County College on May 18, with a degree of Associate of Applied Science in Mental Health Social Work and Chemical Dependency Counselor. We met Jan back in December of 2008 through the KLTY Christmas Wish program. Jan has [...]

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.

Last Thursday, something bigger than words can describe started here at Firehouse. It’s an initiative born out of Mark’s belief that big ideas can make a difference, and that the power of prayer is, well, powerful – and can be life changing. Anna Basso is a 16-year-old girl who lives in Dallas and whose family [...]

While the Maori have their hakas to intimidate their enemies, we have our Shaka to confuse and befuddle our opponents. The Snowpocolypse 2010 left but a skeleton crew at the office this morning. Not ones to waste such an opportunity, it was decided that the only reasonable course of action was to have me put [...]

The Sunday before the agency closed for Christmas, the Firehouse account team served lunch at Dallas Life Foundation (DLF), a local homeless shelter for the less fortunate. DLF has been organized for over 50 years, providing its beneficiaries a place to do laundry, sleep and gain exposure to the Christian faith. Working closely with DLF’s [...]
