-The 5W Team

My team at 5WPR is well beyond just an agency partner - they act as a true extension of our brand. They're always willing to go the extra mile and jump through whatever hoops necessary to make our business as successful as possible. 5W delivers a significant number of resources which is so appreciated by a small indie company such as Gussi! I hired this 5W beauty team at my previous company and brought them over with me when I joined Gussi. It's fair to say that I pretty much can't live without them!

Their team is highly connected, creative, and results-driven and their dynamic approach to media and influencer programming has been instrumental to us achieving double-digit growth YOY, increased market share, record-breaking sales performance, and several viral social moments. The personal relationship we've developed with their team has nurtured a collaborative environment where they truly feel like an extension of our essence Makeup family. We are beyond thrilled with the awareness, engagement, and support 5W delivers, and are truly grateful to have them as an invaluable partner in our journey.
