🦘A few years ago a group of Dads walked into my office with an idea to recreate and revive a successful baby product from several years ago, once called The KangaBoo. It has since transformed and evolved into The Kanga.

We have had the absolute pleasure of working alongside these men developing the name, the look, the tone, the website, the shopping experience and social presence for The Kanga.

This company stands for so much more than a baby product. Their stories, their message, and their WHY are so incredible. This product solves such a huge problem for parents of young babies and especially the special needs community.

If you haven’t already give a follow and learn more about the stories behind the brand and how much the product has helped hundreds already!

What does it look like to have The Brand5 as your marketing team? From creative direction to ex*****on - we position your brand in front of your target audience and capture their attention.

One of our biggest pet peeves is when marketing companies continually wait on the client to come up with the creative plan or focus area, sometimes sitting and waiting to be told what to do. Instead we like to say “we will come to you with a plan based on research of your audience and data analysis…your main job is to edit and approve.” This process allows us to introduce our ideas which often leads to an extremely effective brainstorming session where the creative concepts and plans are decided on.

From there we get to work. We source and style the models, build and plan the set, and put all of the pieces into place to execute on the overall vision. Once the content is captured we communicate it on all necessary platforms. Websites, blogs, digital ads, social media, sms, email…if your audience is on it your brand is too.

Consumers today are smarter, more intentional, and pickier than ever before. Our work is based on what YOUR audience is needing. No two companies are the same. It’s why every package we create is custom because your audience and their needs are custom.

A very small glimpse into what we have been up to these past few months…our lives have been busy! We have had the pleasure of working with some of the best clients from all different industries! From construction to desserts and everything in between.

The photos are always the easiest to share on social media but there is SO much work that goes on behind the scenes. From websites, email marketing, blog writing, logo design, videography and more. We are a full service agency that is incredibly grateful to get to do what we do everyday!

🎙The next episode of Take Five. No Filter. has launched and we interview the very well known S*x Therapist but let me tell you ... it is SO much more than just s*x talk. The first half in fact is some of the best advice around business ownership, entrepreneurship, and burnout. I can't stress it enough but this episode is worth the listen.

If you are here just for the s*x talk don't worry we get there but not until the second half of the episode. Take Five. No Filter. is available on all podcast streaming platforms and available at the link in our bio.

A little vulnerability post…

Today I interviewed an industry leader, sales training expert and incredibly successful entrepreneur for our podcast, Take Five. No Filter. During the interview he shared with me a quote that has dramatically changed his mindset and professional career.

It was a quote from Anais Nin, a French poet from the early 1900’s, the quote was…”Life shrinks or expands in direct proportion to one’s courage.” I repeated that quote in my head two or three times to really digest it.

Business ownership is no easy task, in fact these last two years I have never ever worked harder. Every step of growth comes with a side of fear and anxiety. Is this the right move? Should I take this on? Can we add more right now? What do we do?? Sometimes the real answer is “I don’t know” but right after it is always followed with “but we can figure it out”. It takes courage to make moves, take chances and be willing to fail. It takes courage to keep going, it takes courage to admit defeat, it takes courage to do a lot of things but if I think back to how much has changed in just this year alone I am so thankful my team had the courage to try. That my team had the courage to keep working and to show up every day giving it their all.

The Brand5 is growing and this next step we have to take is going to take courage too. But we wouldn’t be here if every client we had didn’t also have that courage to build their dreams and trust us to help them. I’m forever grateful for the people we meet, the businesses we help, the relationships we have built and I can’t wait to see where this next step of courage takes us.

We have big things happening in 2024 and it’s going to take some courage to complete them but this team is ready for it.

…also this episode on the podcast drops in a few weeks and it’s one of my favorites.

⚡️A total rebrand was done for our client and friend from the visuals to the branding to a new website we helped her transform her look into something that reflected more of her personality! She now has a fully functioning website where clients can view her gallery of work, book appointments and even pay their deposit all in one place!

If you are struggling with making things seamless in your sales process or wanting to see more automation in your marketing efforts…we can help!

In honor of heading off to at the end of this week we thought we would throw it back to some fun photoshoots done for Made to Make monthly challenges!

Amanda was selected out of hundreds of photographers who applied to participate in this next weekend! Only 40 photographers were selected overall and they get to photograph over 10+ themed photoshoots all over the state of Utah! We couldn’t be more excited for her and the experience she will have.

Don’t worry we will be recapping her entire experience and showcasing her photos exclusively in the next issue of FIVE. You won’t want to miss it.

🚀 To the moon chef

🎙️New episode dropped today and let’s just say it is definitely unfiltered! Meet former Ho***rs Girl of the Year, professional makeup artist and a winner of the Wonderful Women of Wichita contest! Morgan is such an incredible person and we had the best time recording this episode.

Learn about one of Kaity’s toxic traits, why Morgan should be your best friend and what irrational fears keep them up at night.

It’s live now and available at the link in our bio!

🩺Sassy the therapy dog says be safe this weekend! ➡️Swipe for a little sneak peek of the fun branding photoshoot we did for the team at Wichita Primary Care. A colorful, bright and personality filled office!

🎙️It’s here! Today’s the day…the first two episodes of Take Five. No Filter. are live and available to stream on all podcast platforms! These two women have such amazing stories to share and their stories deserve to be heard and shared!

Thank you for the support on this new journey, and I can’t wait for you to learn more about these two women!

Can you tell the vibe of this place? Yeah, it’s just as fun as it looks! Imagine a workout where you feel weightless, burn calories, and can fly?! is such a fun way to workout and has great events all month long!

Whether we are capturing your brand in studio or on site at your location - we make it a point to capture images that stop the scroll! If you are having a hard time standing out on social media, want to convert more leads and build your social presence…send us a message we can help!

🩺We love bringing brands to life through photos! The team at .healthandwellness was so fun to have in studio and out on location for their photoshoot! They are kind, professional, smart and are experts in their industry.

It’s so hard to have effective marketing when you are stuck using stock photos, or continually having to show up with live video in order to get your message across. Investing in branding photography can help spread your message more effectively and get people to stop and pay attention to what it is you are trying to share. But most importantly it saves you time - you no longer have to sit there and think “what should I post today” because you’ll have the material to actually post!

Photos like these can be used on everything from your social media to your website to marketing materials and more…investing in good photography will never be something you regret!

When we first met Elyse, owner of We Ride, she shared her dream of opening Wichita’s only rhythmic cycle studio. We were so honored to be chosen to partner with her on branding design, website design, and branding photography! To say we had fun on this project would be an understatement.

We had the honor of shooting new branding photos and we are still obsessing over how beautiful she looked!

She got glam from the incredibly talented before her shoot in our glam room and she looked STUNNING. The best part about Cheyenne though is her personality and watching her be an absolute bad ass Realtor while still being down to earth, funny, and just fun to be around.

Throughout this shoot she was taking calls, organizing all the things, negotiating deals, and working NON-STOP. She is inspirational, hard working, kind, and we all love her.

If you are on the hunt for a Realtor, you can’t ever go wrong with choosing
