Fast Company articles don't write themselves.
We are a marketing and design consultancy using strategy, craft and collaboration to help our clients worry less and produce more.
WHAT WE DO
Fifth Letter solves marketing and communications challenges while holding to a triple bottom line standard. This means success happens when our clients, their customers and stakeholders, and we ourselves win. This mindset, and working with people we like and who like us, is our formula for developing transformative relationships.
The enthusiasm and curiosity we have for our industry—and those of our clients—allows us to anticipate and adapt to their needs and accomplish their goals.
If these philosophies resonate with you, we’d love to chat. If you’re looking for more information, download one of our overview books.

IT'S TIME TO GET
OVER THAT BAR.
Our inspiration comes from high jumper Dick Fosbury, an athlete who approached an age-old challenge in a new way. So what's your bar? Let's make possible become probable, maybe even inevitable.
1+1=3.
REALLY
Out-of-the-park results come from mutual respect and trust, combined with deep understanding of a client’s business. This means we ask a lot of questions, share stories and build strong connections.
We help clients do what they can’t do on their own. And they inspire us with their passion and drive.

VALECIA HOPPER
A neurotic book-worm with a dirty sense of humor.
We also have amazing partners we collaborate with ranging from writers, photographers and illustrators to printers, videographers, editors and developers.
OUR VALUES
Developing a relationship with the right agency isn’t a decision to be taken lightly. Here’s a peek behind the curtain in terms of who we are and the qualities we look for when we work with people like you:
Provide a warm, client-centric experience based on empathy and trust.
Embrace client challenges and convert them into opportunities (i.e. create from the weakest point).
Provide transparency regarding our process, culture and client communications. Keep things simple whenever possible.
Recognize that creativity and great ideas can come from anywhere inside or outside our company.
Remain confident, but not egocentric, about solutions being presented to the client. If there’s no research and/or intuition to inform the solution, it’s probably not valid.
Always be uncomfortable to a certain degree. That means we (and our clients) are always taking risks and allowing for new learning opportunities.
Time should never be an excuse.
Approach our work with flexibility and humor.
