About
What does 5BYFIVE mean?
In case you weren’t paying enough attention to Uncle Frank’s stories at the last family reunion, during WWII, Allied forces found themselves relying more and more on air power to help stamp out fascism. Unfortunately, the troops on the ground were having trouble getting in sync with the flyboys.
They needed a system to make sure the radio tower was sending a signal that the pilot could understand. So they rated the strength and clarity of transmissions on a scale of five. If a pilot said he had a five by five signal, the tower could broadcast knowing that they were being heard loud and clear.
Communicating on a five by five channel is the only way to make sure that you are heard. And that’s why we’re 5BYFIVE.
Since 2010, 5BYFIVE Creative has been giving brands a voice so that they can broadcast their stories loud and clear. You’ve got a great story to tell, but that doesn’t matter if nobody’s paying attention. And if your agency isn’t listening, then it’s safe to say that your customers probably aren’t either.
We enjoy a challenge. Give us your biggest and watch us dig in.
Our Process
Ask and Listen
Even though it’s pretty easy to sound off nowadays, nobody is going to pay attention if you don’t say something worth listening to. That’s why our creative process begins with you, because we can’t begin planning for the future until we learn about your past.
We’ll meet with you and ask lots and lots of questions. We’ll test drive your products. We’ll learn all about your competitors. We’ll even meet your customers if we can.
And the whole time we’ll be searching for clues about your business to help us understand any brand challenges, find the solutions, and speak clearly to the audience you want to reach.
We don’t just support your brand, we support your business – smart brand design is just how we do it.
Find Your Voice
Simply put, our goal is to deliver a message as unique as your brand. We prioritize effective creative strategies that produce sales rather than chasing awards, and that takes planning.
We’ll use everything we learned in our discovery process to clearly identify your brand promise so that your messaging is well thought-out. Then we’ll find out where your customers are and allocate resources to those corresponding marketing channels so that you have the greatest possible impact.
Finally, before we broadcast your message, we’ll set goals to benchmark our results. These results-oriented goals allow us to create work that is effective and measurable in the real world.
It's not just about the brand you are today, our focus is always forward-looking to the brand you want to be tomorrow.
Create and Broadcast
Because of our thorough preparation, our creative team will have the tools to design impactful work that converts prospects into customers. They’ll pore over every detail, down to each pixel and punctuation mark, to create just the right impression on your audience.
We’ll help you capture and analyze results so we can adjust our approach on a project-by-project basis.
When we launch a campaign, we are already thinking about how to use it as a building block towards future success.
Building something pretty is nice, but building something that does something is what sets us apart.
The moment we reach a goal is the moment we start working towards the next one.
