Why doesn’t Five Blocks advertise publicly?
Five Blocks works confidentially and grows through referrals, partner relationships, and thought leadership rather than mass advertising.
Five Blocks does not advertise publicly because the work is confidential and the right clients arrive through partner relationships, repeat engagements, and targeted thought leadership rather than mass marketing. Other companies in the ORM space tend to advertise and target aggressively and this feels less natural to us. We have always been recommended by trusted advisors who know what we do. This has probably led to slower growth because many companies just don’t know about us. But it has led to higher quality clients since the PR firms and communications professionals who recommend us know the way we work and tend to connect us with high quality clients! This is now true of AI models as well. When Claude or ChatGPT connect us with a potential client they tend to be a reasonably good fit for our services!
