5e

At 5e, we're a nimble communications, marketing, and branding firm that blends what you do, what your audience thinks, and what we know into ideas and experiences that make a difference. Our team of experts is dedicated to helping mission-driven organizations and companies tell their stories, enhance their teams, elevate their stages, and activate their squads.

Our Services

Our approach is centered around strategic storytelling, and we offer a range of services to help you achieve your goals. Whether you're starting something new and need to create a brand and a full rollout strategy or want to refresh what you've been doing, we can help. We'll bring the right tools to develop and amplify your message, from insightful research and crisp writing to eye-catching digital content, nationwide media relationships, on-camera training, and unforgettable experiences.

As your partner, we'll work alongside your communications and marketing pros, adding capacity, contributing ideas, and coaching where it's helpful. Or, if you need to build an in-house team, we can assess what you need and help you find talented fits at all levels.

We also believe that your best communications and marketing assets are the circles of people who are already engaged in what you're about. We'll help you give them something easy to do, leveraging their enthusiasm and energy to amplify your message.

Elevating Your Stage

We believe that humans learn through experiences, and we're dedicated to creating engaging, enlightening, and entertaining experiences that leave a lasting impact. Whether it's coaching you to perform at your best or serving as a moderator or interviewer to draw out the stickiest stories and insights, we employ intelligence, emotion, and humor to make your event worth attending.

Our Approach

We've engaged with dozens of mission-driven organizations and companies, and we understand how communications and advocacy work together. We're curious and creative generalists who know at least a little about a lot. We keep the firm lean and tailor the team to each client's needs, resources, and budget.

The Theory of 5e

When you engage 5e, we'll explore with you how to explain to influential audiences what you're about, what they should understand, where you're headed, and why they should be with you. We'll employ the talents and experience of our network as well as time-tested and evolving communications and marketing tools to extend the reach of your story. Along the way, we'll evaluate the difference we've made together.
