2025 was more than just a year of growth—it was a year of evolution. 📈

From bringing PopFizz in-house to winning a National Gold ADDY and a Webby, we’ve spent the last 12 months strengthening our foundation for what’s next. We added incredible talent to our roster, partnered with regional powerhouses like The Volunteer Club and The Memphis Chamber, and officially unveiled our own agency rebrand.

As we look toward our 25th anniversary in 2026, our focus is clear: leveraging the best of AI to empower our best asset—our people.

Here’s the projects, events, and milestones that made 2025 one for the books here at Designsensory.

Meet our new Graphic Designer, Brian Fuson!

Brian isn’t afraid to sail into unknown territory to find a great design solution. A lover of all things type, illustration, and photography, he’s always looking for fresh ways to combine his skills (and even a little code) into his work.

We’re thrilled to have his spirit and sharp eye for detail on our creative team, and if you need a conversation starter, just pick his brain about vintage cameras or crafting with his wife.

Welcome aboard, Brian!

From True Crime to Project Management, meet our newest teammate, Stuart Hohl! 🚀

Stuart (yes, you can call him Stu) joins Designsensory as a Project Manager, bringing 13 years of experience from Jupiter Entertainment.

Whether it’s supervising post-production or teaching video editing at Pellissippi State, Stuart knows how to keep complex stories on track—making him the perfect fit for our 2026 project lineup.

Outside the office, he’s a dad of two, a massive AC Milan fan, a VFL, and an Eagle Scout. We’re thrilled to have his expertise (and his fantasy football advice) in the office.

Welcome to the team, Stuart!

We've been spending more time at Covenant Health Park than our own office. Our Engagement team toured the park, dreaming up 2026 activations, while our Media team recently got the VIP treatment at the Knoxville Smokies Corporate Partner Appreciation Event with front-row seats to the new Winter Wonderland Lightshow.

Huge shoutout to our partners at Goodway Group for rolling up their sleeves with us to support the Knoxville News Sentinel's Empty Stocking Fund. Together, along with hundreds of other volunteers, we're helping to fill pantries and spread a little extra joy this season.

Our bi-annual all-hands meeting, The Fireside, got mixed together with one of our quarterly Cocktail Clubs (shoutout to the interactive team for hosting!). Shouldn’t all meetings be held this way?

We’re proud of the year behind us, and excited for the year ahead — to positive momentum!
