5 + 8

5 + 8 is a branding consultancy in Houston, Texas, working with companies and nonprofit organisations since 2013. A single team takes each project from the first strategy session through to finished design, copy and website, so nothing is lost between departments. The firm says most engagements produce usable work within 30 days.

What 5 + 8 offers

• Brand strategy — positioning, naming, messaging and audience research that shape everything else.
• Identity design — logos, type systems, colour and brand guidelines for consistent use after handover.
• Packaging and environments — cans, boxes, menus, signage, murals and vehicle wraps.
• Campaigns and content — concepts, copywriting, photo and video direction, social and paid creative.
• Websites — design and build of sites that client teams can update themselves.
• Retained creative — ongoing design support for teams that do not want an in-house department.

Who it works with

Clients range from small nonprofits to global brands. Published case studies include a summer concert series, National Burger Day 2026, a recruitment campaign, Southern Star Brewing Co. and a U.S. Hispanic Mother's Day campaign.
