HQ: Denver, CO

Joined Kismet: At conception.

Expertise: Chris leads, well, all of Kismet’s work, but specializes in digital marketing and multimedia production. Full-service social media content production is probably his favorite, however.

Chris’s Top 4 Local Faves

For food: Denver has a robust, growing food scene, but if I had to pick one individual restaurant, it’d be Cuba Cuba in the Golden Triangle. However, if I’m trying to please a group, I’d take them to one of Denver’s many food halls. Probably Denver Central Market.

For drinks: By drinks, I assume you mean coffee? If so, you’ve come to the right guy. My favorite Denver coffeeshop is Ti Cafe in the South Broadway neighborhood. They catered my housewarming party, so you know it’s real.

For fun: Denver has so many great walkable neighborhoods. I love a directionless walk exploring the many sounds & sights of Denver’s neighborhoods. Favorites include: South Broadway/Baker, Cap Hill, LoHi, and the Santa Fe Arts District.

For the scrapbook: Look West! The Rocky Mountains are a quick 30-minute drive away, sprinkled with fun towns to explore, hikes to complete, and coffee to sip.

Expertise: Jacob leads all aspects of Kismet’s video production, from the early storyboarding phase to the final cut. His skills behind the camera and in the editing bay help our clients’ messages stand out and stay relevant.

Jacob’s Top 4 Local Faves

For food: Burrito Sunrise on NE 3rd Street. This food truck has set the bar so high that it has ruined all other breakfast burritos for Jacob. The generous portions can usually serve as lunch, too!

For drinks: Southside Pub on Route 97. The affordable pool play, the bartenders that remember your name, and the killer jukebox make Southside a go-to spot for Jacob and his buds.

For fun: Tin Pan Theater. This small, arthouse cinema gives you that cozy, nostalgic feeling that a Regal never could. Alongside their showings of both independent and major films, they host some amazing events, like Spaghetti Western Wednesdays.

For the scrapbook: Smith Rock. The countless outdoor activities such as climbing, hiking, and camping have Jacob returning time and again. Between its otherworldly rock formations and stunning vistas, it’s hard to believe you’re just 30 minutes from Bend.

Home Base: East Lansing, MI

Some of Josh’s Faves

For food: Conrad's Grill on Grand River. Fantastic burritos and The Number One with chicken, mozzarella, tater tots, and ranch is the best!

For the scrapbook: Rosy Mound trail. This short hike in Grand Haven, Michigan, offers stunning scenery, and at the end, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Lake Michigan.
