Tripp Westbrook
Executive Creative Director / Partner
Firehouse

Highly creative thinking and execution can be a powerful differentiator in an otherwise noisy and commoditized marketplace. Tripp strongly believes that clients who adopt this “challenger” way of thinking are far more dangerous to their competitors and can accomplish more with less by leveraging big ideas and a scrappy, media agnostic plan.

Utilizing this approach to make a brand’s promise and point of view salient and resonant with consumers has been a hallmark of Tripp’s work for the past 20 years. Since his early days as a writer at The Martin Agency in Richmond, Virginia to Hal Riney and Partners, Fallon and GSD&M, his creative efforts have been rewarded with awards in almost every national and international show of note. From gold at Cannes and the Effie’s, to Clio’s, D&AD, The One Show and CA. More recently, his work for Firehouse helped the agency gain its first recognition in national competitions and be named 2010 Southwest Small Agency of the Year by Ad Age.

Perhaps his greatest strength, however, is taking a complex business problem and boiling it down to one, crystal clear proposition that a consumer can see the value in. Brands that have benefited from this are Saturn, Holiday Inn, Macaroni Grill, United Airlines, Nikon, Mercedes-Benz, Stripes Convenience Stores and Interstate Batteries.

Tripp studied broadcast communications at Virginia Tech and is still not exactly sure what a “Hokie” is.
