Five Visual Communication

What Five Visual Communication does

Five Visual Communication & Design is a privately held, founder-led graphic design firm founded in 1997 (per company materials) by award-winning designer Rondi Tschopp and headquartered in the Cincinnati, Ohio area (Mason). The firm specializes in visual communication for healthcare, pharmaceutical, and medtech businesses, delivering six core service lines: Marketing & Corporate Communications, Brand Development & Design, Pharma Labeling, Consulting, Photography & Videography, and Illustration & Infographics. Its pharmaceutical labeling practice is positioned around FDA-compliant package inserts, medication guides, and packaging artwork, with the firm claiming an average five-week reduction in client time-to-market.

The business operates a project-based professional services model, billing clients through direct engagement rather than disclosed pricing. Delivery is handled via a curated network of hand-selected design, marketing, technical and engineering professionals assembled per project, rather than a large fixed internal headcount — the firm itself is described in the 11-50 employee range with founder ownership concentrated. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: prospective clients reach the firm via phone, email ([email protected]), or a website contact form, with case-study content on the website functioning as the principal marketing asset.

Named enterprise engagements span Axogen (medical device brand work), Mercy Health (birthing center communications), an unnamed major pharmaceutical company (drug labeling), Artis Senior Living (emotional connection video for memory care), Hänggi Corporation (tradeshow rebrand), and Innovation Architecture (personal branding for a Fortune 500 advisor). No funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, patents, awards, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed; revenue is not publicly reported, and the public-facing website displays placeholder contact details alongside the primary contact channel, indicating a very small operating footprint.
