Stephanie Medlin

Owner of Branch 5, Projects & Design

I started Branch 5 in 2015 to offer clients a personalized service with a stronger ROI than big agencies can deliver. I believe in prompt, clear communication. My background is primarily military resale, graphic design, event planning and hyper-organization. I’m a big animal advocate, love all things design and classical music!

Where to start… Stephanie is the epitome of work expertise, efficiency, partnership; literally everything that you hope for in a professional environment. I’ve worked with Stephanie for a number of years now, on a complex partnership in DeCA and Consumer Packaged Goods. Stephanie knows her work. She knows how to get things done – quickly! Stephanie is capable of juggling multiple deadlines, a variety of contacts and multiple work streams flawlessly – all with a smile. Not only is Stephanie a super star in her work, she’s a pure joy to interact with. I promise you that you will be so pleased when you contract with her on your next project.

Nicole Bombaci

Shopper Marketing Manager, Crossmark

First and foremost, Stephanie is a JOY to work with – you can feel her knowledge, professionalism, sense of humor, and smile, via our many phones calls, and see them first had via our Teams calls. She leaves no stone unturned, in making certain that every “i” is dotted, and every “t” is crossed. When we turn a project over to Stephanie at Branch 5 Marketing we can move on to other projects, as we know for certain every aspect will be meticulously monitored and carried out to perfection. When we procrastinate, as we often do, Stephanie is quick to get us “re-focused” and “on task” very quickly. Ms. Medlin runs one of the most trusted, professional, and detail-oriented marketing companies I have ever had the pleasure to work with, and I’ve been in this business for a long time. Please reach out if you should need any additional specifics or details on Ms. Medlin’s “Branch 5 Marketing” firm.

If you are looking for a full service Marketing Agency that delivers there is no need to look any further than Branch 5 Marketing. Stephanie is knowledgeable, responsive, and committed to supporting our initiatives all while driving results making them invaluable partners. We have seen double digit growth across many of our Brands over the past several years and Branch 5 was key to that success. Stephanie’s attention to detail, creativity, and ability to manage projects with quick turn-around that is cost effective is second to none. The Easter Program that Stephanie developed for me had to be turnkey from concept design to printing and advertising support. This project included customized POS, educational pieces, and coupon development all coupled with an implementation strategy for the entire sales force – and she didn’t disappoint. Our sales increased 66% in dollars, 59% in volume and delivered a coupon redemption rate of over 50%! I feel confident we are working with the best to promote, encourage trial use, educate, and drive sales of our products using outstanding creative in both print and social media platforms. I feel very confident in saying Branch 5 is committed to our success and we are extremely happy with the results.

“As a small business owner, I have tried all sorts of marketing techniques recommended by internet sources to increase client acquisition. This has resulted in wasting time and money with no real benefit. Stephanie at Branch 5 Marketing was able to ask the right questions about my business and recommend an effective yet efficient marketing campaign.”
