Live in Five Media

What Live in Five Media does

Live in Five Media is a New York City-based boutique public relations, social media marketing, and website development agency serving brands in beauty, fashion, lifestyle, travel, food and beverage, publishing, and non-profit sectors. The firm delivers integrated services including media and public relations (delivering fully-written scripts, segments, and stories with matched talent), digital marketing (newsletters, contests, micro-sites), social media management (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest), brand development and auditing, graphic and web design, SEO-oriented blogging, paid placement, event coordination, spokesperson/tastemaker procurement, media training, and copywriting. The agency is led by Principal Anna De Souza and supported by a named team spanning senior PR, book publicity, social media, graphic design, digital strategy, and account execution, with specialized capabilities accessed through partnerships with Bill Heuberger Photography, DreamPlay Media, and Success in Media.

The business operates as a service-based consultancy rather than a technology platform, with no proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or developer-facing products; revenue is generated through professional-services agency fees on what appear to be project-based and retainer engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven — clients are acquired via professional networking, referrals, and industry connections, with a free consultation offered as the initial touchpoint. Pricing and rate cards are not publicly disclosed. The agency is privately held and founder-owned (no institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent-company ownership are indicated), operates primarily in the United States with a New York headquarters and Brooklyn-based team members, and is classified as operating, though the agency's own website carries a 2013–2014 copyright that may reflect limited recent outward investment.
