Partnership means everything to us at Campfire. Our client partners and our media partners. Both matter.

So being invited for our Founder/CEO to sit on a panel at Nexxen’s annual conference was an easy yes.

What made it even more special was doing this in Charleston, the home city of our own Kelly Gadsby. Kelly’s relationships and day-to-day collaboration with our partners are a big reason moments like this happen. This work is built on trust, and trust is built by people.

A rising tide lifts all boats. And in this industry, that tide only rises when brands, publishers, and ad tech work together.

Grateful for our partners. Proud of our team. Honored to be part of the conversation. 🏕️🔥

We’re honored to be recognized by the Indie Agency Awards with a Merit Award in the “Weirdos, Misfits & Underdogs” category.

Because let’s be real, we’ve never been afraid to break the mold.
We believe media can (and should) work better for brands, for people, and for the planet.

Here’s to all the indies proving that purpose and performance go hand in hand.

The internet has a carbon problem and an attention problem. Every impression carries an energy cost before it ever reaches a person. It’s time for media to evolve toward sustainability, substance, and real human connection.
Join Campfire’s CEO, Chris Marine, and David Heatley of Rare Agency this Wednesday Oct 22nd at the New England Ocean Cluster during Maine Tech Week for Beyond the Click—a conversation about cutting carbon from the digital supply chain and restoring creativity and conscience to advertising.
Let’s build a media system that does more good for people and the planet.

“The Planning & Buying Awards honor the media industry. They express our belief that media—the process of buying, planning, and strategy—is just as important and every bit as creative as depicting storyboards for a campaign.”
— MediaPost

we’re proud (and honestly, a little in awe) to share that Campfire Consulting is one of just two finalists in our category for the 2024 Planning & Buying Awards—going head-to-head with a global media giant.

A real David vs. Goliath moment.

What makes this even more meaningful? In our eight years as a company, this is the first time we’ve ever submitted for an award. We typically keep our heads down and focus on the work. But the work we did in 2024, for our brilliant clients Aroma Joe’s, was something special. Our team put so much heart, strategy, and innovation into it—and the collaboration was next-level. So we swung big. And we’re honored to have landed a finalist spot.

We’re also excited to celebrate with our colleagues in the space. Yes, we may be competitors—but we also raise each other’s work up. We can’t wait to clink glasses with our peers this Monday, April 14th in NYC at The University Club.

Let’s keep pushing what’s possible.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Campfire!

The above is a screenshot of a post from American Red Cross that we feel is important to amplify. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our hearts go out to the people of Asheville. This beautiful community, home to many friends, including some of our own teammates' families and members of the B Corp community, is facing incredible challenges right now.

At Campfire Consulting, we believe in the power of community and action. In times like these, it’s critical to show up for one another. Two organizations that are working tirelessly on the ground to provide relief and support are and the .

We had an inspiring day at the Net Impact Boston SDG Summit, where our sustainability team connected with like-minded professionals dedicated to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across the Greater Boston Area. 🌍

At Campfire Consulting, we are deeply committed to integrating the best sustainability practices into our business operations and the media operations of our clients. This event was a great opportunity to explore innovative approaches to tackling climate change, social equity, and driving impactful innovation—key topics discussed during the panels. We’re excited to continue conversations with our media partners and clients on making lasting positive changes for both people and the planet.

You can learn more about the UN SDG’s from a special series we recorded on all 17 of the SDGs on our podcast Responsibly Different.
