A Houston brand agency since 2013.
5+8 is a small, bilingual team. We do the strategy, then build the brand, the campaign, and the website. One team, start to finish, from a studio on West Gray. We still take the meetings in person when it matters.
Samsung. Lyft. Becks Prime. Saint Arnold. United Way of Greater Houston. SEARCH Homeless Services. Galveston Bay Foundation. Louisiana Cat.
Big names, sure. But read our reviews and nobody talks about the logos. They talk about how it felt to work with us. Smart work for cool clients by real people.
- Smart
- Work with a reason behind it. Every choice answers a business question, not a taste question.
- Cool
- The kind of company people want to talk about. If that's you, we're already on the same page.
- Real
- The same people from kickoff to launch. No handoff to someone you never met.
"5+8 adds an extra flare, blending whimsy, humor but also fact-based common sense that you just can't get anywhere else. We're grateful for their partnership!"

The people you'd actually work with.
Adam Faust
Founder/Partner
He takes care of his team so they take care of you. He doesn't disappear or make excuses when it counts. He listens, then fixes it.
Jeff Long
Founder/Partner
There's no such thing as a boring product, just a lack of clarity. He's made great ads for tamales, renters insurance, and steel rods. Yours won't be the exception.
David Malamud
Brand Director / Partner
Bilingual. He drives across town and flies across the country for his clients, whatever it takes. Fully committed doesn't begin to cover it.
Sarah Bartz
Creative Director
She'll tell you the truth you need, even when it's uncomfortable, because a real point of view is what actually moves a brand forward.
Rachel Garcia
Art Director
Fast, talented, on deadline, and bilingual. Her thinking runs as deep as her passion. Together with Sharon, she's behind most of the work on this site.
Sharon Chu
Senior Designer
Bilingual. Her design work might be the best in the city, and she's always sharpening it further. Most of the design work on this site comes from her and Rachel.
Kim Arenas
Senior Brand Manager
Deadlines get tight, things get chaotic. She doesn't. You'll always know what's happening and feel like someone's actually listening.
Brenna Mata
Senior Content Strategist
She's watching where content's headed before everyone else catches up, comfortable in front of the camera or behind it.
Sabrina Moreno
Project Manager
Bilingual Navy veteran who makes sure things get done.
Frida Rodriguez
Content Coordinator
Bilingual, funny, and building her own following on the side. If you need a fresh idea and someone to actually execute it, she's your person.
