> Our Purpose
If you don’t have a few good belly laughs throughout the creative process, you’re not doing it right!
At Branch 5, I pride myself on fresh ideas, flexibility and positive energy. I believe I infuse my work culture with fun and put a premium on team spirit. Client camaraderie is a priority for me, as I believe a healthy working relationship is key to long-term growth and success, for your company and mine. I love the excitement of building and delivering strategic solutions that outdo what I did the day before and finding more efficient ways to do them.
>> What Type of Clients Does Branch 5 Work With?
My specialty is CPG’s (Consumer Packaged Goods) selling within the military resale channel. These clients are typically food, beverage and household goods manufacturers selling within DeCA and Exchange stores. My typical clients are brand or sales managers seeking marketing support that understand the complex needs of the military business. From there, I develop customized promotions for those brands that appeal to military shoppers, drive products to the basket and help support their customer’s initiatives on the shelf and beyond.
Not limited to only military CPG’s, my client portfolio and experience spans various products, services, apps, non-profits, national events, and locally owned businesses.
All ideas, design and communication is done by me, and is never outsourced.
Companies that use my services range from small companies to global producers.
>>> What Exactly Does “Branch 5” Signify?
Some of the best things come in fives: a high-five, the five senses, Maroon 5, the five vowels, the five second rule (our personal favorite) and let’s face it, most television shows peak at season five (Breaking Bad, anyone?) Numerologists describe five as always in motion and constantly in need of change – we believe the core of Branch 5 captures that essence.
However, Branch 5 was in fact named to honor the five branches of the United States Military – the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy.

The Armed Forces hold a special place in my heart; my career began within the military resale channel and I’m a proud wife of a USMC Combat Veteran – Operation Enduring Freedom. I’ve lived on both MCB Quantico and MCAS Miramar, and our military family is one of our strongest bonds.
