We lead where others follow.

The social space is saturated. You either stop the scroll with bold content or fade into the feed. Most brands lose because they copy the same tired playbook—generic messaging and uninspired creative that disappears in the noise.

It's time to lead, not follow. 

At 5&Vine, we rewrite the rules of marketing so that you can rewrite the rules of your industry

We build social and influencer strategies that spark attention and shape culture. Challenger Brands come to us to set the tone, shift the narrative, and own the conversation.

Own your lane. Rule the feed.

Most social campaigns throw digital spaghetti at the wall and hope for the best. We don’t. We help Challenger Brands find their lane, claim it with confidence, and own it through our Challenger Brand System.

Find the flaws in the status quo

We expose the disconnect between what audiences crave and the recycled content most brands keep serving. By uncovering outdated assumptions and overlooked audience behaviors, we position your brand to own the conversation — not just participate in it.

Identify your 5 Stones & Slingshot

We transform your audience insights and core differentiators into a strategic social media arsenal: bold campaigns that cut through the noise, powerful content that stops the scroll, and targeted influencer & brand partnerships.

Strike with relentless precision

We execute our social media marketing plan for growth through data-backed content and partnerships with influencers and brands. We help Challengers create strong social momentum that drives market leadership and revenue growth.

Social media content that tells a story

Seggiano social posts featuring pasta production, pizza making, balsamic vinegar, panettone, and holiday food traditions.

Find the flaws in the status quo

Seggiano’s social media had fallen into the same trap as many heritage brands: visually appealing, but lacking the storytelling depth audiences crave. Engagement had plateaued because content focused on products instead of the rich provenance behind them — a gap we seized as an opportunity to lead with authenticity.

We took a provenance-driven storytelling approach on Instagram & TikTok, positioning Seggiano as Italy's top food curator and showcasing the craftsmanship behind their products and the people behind them. We started by defining key content pillars to bring Seggiano’s brand to life and shift it to a social-first brand. We focused on creating Reels to establish category authority and tell Seggiano’s story by highlighting its core pillars–People, Place, and Process. Our goal was to turn Seggiano’s feed into a guide across the nuances of Italian culture and cuisine.

Find the flaws in the status quo

Our research revealed a critical gap in the baby care market: while millennial parents increasingly turned to social media to find educational content and trusted expert recommendations, most brands continued to push transactional, self-promotional messaging. We exposed this disconnect and positioned Pura as the trusted, community-driven ally American parents were actively seeking.

With these insights, we adopted an inclusive approach to influence. We defined content pillars that reflected Pura’s playful personality, partnered with parent influencers who shared Pura's values to increase credibility, formed alliances with like-minded brands to tap into tight-knit communities, and developed a best-in-class community management strategy to drive engagement and loyalty.

Social-first approach that wins over athletes

Find the flaws in the status quo

The ready-to-eat meal market was crowded with brands shouting health claims — but few were meeting the evolving social expectations of 'everyday athletes.' Fresh N’ Lean’s challenge wasn’t just product awareness; it was a social disconnect. We uncovered an opportunity to transform them into a social-first brand that fueled aspiration and authenticity.
