5e Creative

From concept development and ideation, to prototyping, engineering, and production, 5E has a wide range of core competencies.
 

Located in Long Beach, CA 5 Elements Entertainment was conceived in 2009 in response to the release of the iPhone and beginnings of the mobile revolution. Partners Mike Givens and Eric Speier saw a tremendous opportunity emerging. Both partners brought with them, production experience and relationships in entertainment: music, video games, film and TV. Partner and CTO Ben Spees came on in 2010, and brings years of coding and technical leadership to the team.

While 5 Elements was creating its own entertainment properties, we also saw opportunities to help other businesses realize their app development needs.  Our unique view into the entertainment landscape allowed us to step into the work of servicing our client's software needs. After working with companies like Fox Sports, EA Games, and Mattel we saw an opportunity to service our client's web development needs as well as app development.  For our clients, having 5e come in to create plans to focus the digital product branding and features allowed us to both differentiate their mobile and web experiences in a way that feels supportive of each platform as a part of the whole branded experience.

We have expanded our initial work in entertainment into other industries, developing web sites and apps for clients in a variety of industries: healthcare, industrial products, and service businesses of all sizes.  Companies like the national homecare aggregator CarePatrol, trust 5e to develop and innovate for their advisors and customers, driving and converting visitors.

Understanding our client's business and their customers is at the core of what makes us effective. Whether it is the data filled online catalog of Pursuit Systems, with beautiful imagery of their chase car fleet, national or the ecommerce site for Sir Anthony Hopkin's art. We get to the core of what the business needs, and we drive revenue.

Call or email us to get to talk about how we can help your business add value to your clients and drive growth.
