5+8 | Best Marketing Experts in Houston

5+8 is an independent brand agency founded in Houston in 2013 by partners Adam Faust and Jeff Long, working from a studio on West Gray Street in Montrose. Its small, bilingual in-house team handles each project from start to finish, beginning with brand strategy, positioning, naming, messaging and audience work, then building logo and identity systems, packaging, signage, murals and vehicle wraps. The agency also creates campaigns and content, including copywriting, photography and video direction, social and paid creative, and it designs and builds websites, with retained creative available for teams that need steady output. About half of its work is for Houston companies and nonprofits such as Becks Prime, Saint Arnold and United Way of Greater Houston, while national clients have included Samsung and Lyft. Most engagements deliver usable work within 30 days.
