Our Story

For 16 years, we’ve been obsessed with technology’s ability to make businesses more measurable, more efficient, more effective. We’ve focused on pulling levers, tweaking dials, pushing pixels all in the name of optimization. And we’re damn good at it.

But all this time we’ve been motivated by something larger – something beyond the data, the reports and the analytics. Because while numbers excite, it’s the relationships that inspire.

Fireside is at the intersection of digital and human, technology and touch. That place where qualitative actions have quantitative results. We are unique in our ability to use cold, hard digital tools to unlock the warmth of a relationship.
