We want to sell less marketing to more people.
Sure, we can design a website or a logo — but we can also design a deck of cards, a pair of sunglasses, or even a great cider. We helped Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business reimagine how grads choose programs — putting their futures in focus. We’ve helped so many adtech brands succeed, we’re practically walking, talking KPIs. We art-directed a Volvo campaign so unforgettable, six people are driving it for life — literally. Do you know how people feel about your brand? Investors do — thanks to the Emotional AI score we helped integrate into the Bloomberg Terminal. We can design a website. Or a whiskey label. Or an app that makes the NCAA transfer portal feel less like a black hole. We’ve built brands from scratch, from seed-stage startups to companies doing $500M in ad spend. Some of our best work started with: “This is probably a dumb question, but…” We’re the team clients call when the pitch is tomorrow and the deck isn’t. If you’ve got a big idea and no idea where to start, we should talk.
Our strength is helping you unlock yours.
We’re a team of passionate, talented, and big-hearted creatives who love turning ideas into real-world impact. It doesn’t hurt that we’re lucky enough to work from one of the most beautiful places in North America.
Whether launching a startup or refining a go-to-market strategy, our decades of expertise and future-proofed workflow make it easy for companies of all sizes to connect, engage, and grow.
Purpose driven
Cody Dennison
CREATIVE
Cody is an award-winning Creative Director who can explain and create in equal measure. As Executive Creative Director at Firehill, he leads the creative vision and execution across all client work—bringing together a sharp team of designers, writers, developers, and content creators to craft ideas that move with strategy and clarity.
With more than 25 years of experience, Cody’s worked across nearly every category—adtech, auto, finance, legal, pharma, fashion, tech, retail, and nonprofit—designing, directing, shooting, building, producing, and solving the kinds of challenges no template can touch.
Born in Texas but creatively raised in Brooklyn, Cody spent almost four decades sharpening his craft in the city before finding refuge in the woods of Redding, Connecticut.
When he’s not deep in a project, you’ll find him cooking for his kids (Harry, Ruben, and Sadie) or debating the superiority of certain ice cream flavors. He’s also known for his meticulous oil paintings of flowers—possibly just a clever excuse to log a few quiet hours away from Slack.
Chris Wing
ACCOUNTS & OPS
Chris knows when to zig and when to zag. A natural client whisperer with a sharp eye for what actually matters, he brings clarity, momentum, and creative edge to every project. At Firehill, he’s the one keeping things crisp—streamlining account workflows, dialing in processes, and building systems that leave room for inspired work to thrive.
With a career spanning LinkedIn, JPMorgan, and a scrappy startup, Chris has lived the full spectrum—big tech, big finance, and big bets. He’s worked as both a high-performing individual contributor and a global team leader, blending solution engineering, sales strategy, and a gift for human connection. Whether he’s architecting complex systems or closing deals, his approach is always grounded, collaborative, and forward-looking.
Born in San Diego, Chris spent nearly 17 years in Manhattan before settling with his family in the woods of Redding, Connecticut. When he’s not building Firehill, you’ll find him out on a hike, chasing adventure, or hanging with his daughter. His philosophy is simple: be real, stay curious, and always deliver more than expected.
