5IVE

Based in NE Minneapolis, 5IVE is an independent creative agency founded in 2010 by Boriana Strzok. Its client base centers on change-makers, advocates, businesses, and philanthropies, with particular depth in Climate Tech and Clean Energy work. The agency describes itself as community-centric, socially-conscious, and business-savvy, and positions its work around building brands meant to advance progress rather than simply sell.

Services run through brand strategy and positioning, visual identity, messaging and voice, brand guidelines, and rebranding, alongside content strategy and thought-leadership writing. 5IVE frames its process as research-first, taking time upfront rather than shortcutting to execution, and pairs engagement strategy with communication tools meant to help organizations advocate for the causes they represent.
