We’re a community-driven marketing, branding + events agency that empowers brands to authentically connect with their people.
We created Fireside at Five at the onset of Covid-19 when the world craved community, catharsis, and connection. It all started when we began facilitating intimate, solution-driven, industry Fireside Chats with passionates and professionals from across the country.
What began as a platform for industry happy hour Chats quickly developed into a community-driven marketing and activation collective that empowers placemaking-centric brands to honor their story, embrace their present, and boost the future of their community.
Not only were our Chats filled with stimulating discussion questions, articles, and insights, but they were always participant-driven and encouraged intentionality.
