OUR POSITION
We didn't build Five Six in a vacuum. The North made us - the work ethic, the directness. So when it comes to who we work with and who we put money in the hands of, we keep it close to home. That's not a policy. It's just how we're built.
If we’re asking you to invest in your brand, we should be investing in our own backyard.
ROOTED LOCALLY
We start local. Always. Arabella and Lexie grew up around family businesses - the kind that buy from their neighbours, recommend the person down the road, and know that a community only works if you invest in it. So when it comes to the printer, the sign maker, the accountant, the paper supplier - our first call is always someone on our doorstep. That's not a policy. It's just how we were raised.
A proper home for creative freelancers.
The freelance world is brilliant and brutal in equal measure. Five Six exists as a hub - somewhere talented, independent people can do great work, get properly briefed, get properly paid, and get properly credited.
(01)
No 47-page contracts.
(02)
Paid for the creativity.
(03)
No six-week invoice waits.
(04)
Properly briefed. Always.
WE BACK AMBITION EARLY
Some of our best work is with businesses that haven't hit their ceiling yet - but they absolutely will. We back ambition early. Founders finding their footing, brands on the way up, ideas that are built to go somewhere. That's the kind of trajectory we want to be part of from the beginning.
We invest locally. We build locally. We keep the door open. Growth is more powerful when it's shared - and we're not interested in hoarding it.
IN GOOD COMPANY:
