5W Public Relations

New York, New York, United States

Earned media, crisis communications, and performance marketing built to connect PR with revenue

Founded in 2003, 5W Public Relations has grown into one of the largest independent communications firms in the United States, with offices in New York, Miami, and Tampa. Clients range from Fortune 500 companies and IPO candidates to challenger brands and category creators, including Zeta, Nokia, Vizio, and Webull.

Work spans earned media, crisis and reputation management, executive visibility, content, social, and influencer and creator programs, alongside performance marketing, programmatic, affiliate, and media planning, disciplines the firm treats as connected rather than siloed. Beyond core PR services, 5W has built newer practice areas including generative engine optimization, AI PR and digital marketing, predictive reputation management, litigation PR and legal tech, pre-IPO financial communications, HR tech and future of work, women's health, aging and longevity, and cybersecurity communications.

Recent client work illustrates the range: 5WPR supported e.l.f. Beauty's executive presence and industry influence through combined PR and digital marketing efforts. For Foxwoods Resort Casino, the firm supported a slate of new programs tied to the property's 30th anniversary. A rugged watch brand engaged 5W to drive cultural relevance through sport, music, and lifestyle press.
