Your Twin Cities–Based Marketing Collective Supporting Local Businesses with Approachable Marketing.
About Fifth Street Collective
Fifth Street Co. is a collective of business experts, friends, and family who believe small businesses deserve the same caliber of support that big companies take for granted. We came together with one mission: to make high-quality services—like marketing, Salesforce consulting, design and virtual admin—affordable and accessible to the local community we care about.
We’re built on three things: quality, integrity and equity. That means doing work we’re proud of, being honest and straightforward in how we do it, and making sure every business—no matter the size—has a fair shot at growing and thriving.
At the end of the day, we’re neighbors helping neighbors. We bring our skills to the table so local businesses can focus on what they do best, knowing they’ve got a team behind them that actually gives a dang.
Are We a Good Fit?
Running a cozy coffee shop, family storefront, or one-of-a-kind service? You’re the heartbeat of our Midwest neighborhoods—and we’re here for it. Fifth Street Collective was built to give small businesses like yours access to the kind of organic marketing usually reserved for the “big guys”—but with pricing, time, and know-how that actually makes sense for real life. You’ll feel right at home here if:
You’re a Small Business Owner Juggling All Hats.
Solopreneur, sidekick, or lean team—we’ll help you tackle marketing without burning out. Our sweet spot: businesses bringing in $250K–$750K a year.
You’re A One-Person Marketing Department.
If “you’re it” for marketing (or dreaming of reaching more local folks), we’ll give you tools, strategies, and support to stretch your budget further and lighten your load.
You Want To Learn—Not Just Hand It Off.
We keep it hands-on with coaching, step-by-step guidance, and fit-for-you strategies. Cancel anytime, but give it three (3) months to see the real magic happen.

Amanda
BRAND & MARKETING STRATEGIST
“I’m Amanda—multi-passionate marketing strategist, graphic designer, and Founder of Fifth Street—trusted for making the messy parts of business feel clear, doable, and (surprisingly) enjoyable. With over a decade of experience spanning marketing, communications, branding, customer care, and recruiting, I focus on turning complexity into clarity and the boring stuff into something worth paying attention to (looking at you, performance reports and automation workflows).
I specialize in blending data-driven strategy with creative storytelling to build brands that don’t just look good, but actually work hard for growth. Over the years, I’ve led brand overhauls, launched multi-channel campaigns, streamlined customer journeys, built internal communications that boosted retention, and helped businesses finally feel confident in their marketing.
When I’m not knee-deep in excel grids, you’ll probably find me planning a garden, stitching theater costumes, saving wayyy too many ideas to Pinterest, or doting on my senior dog, the undisputed Queen of the Cozy Blanket.”

Jacob
SALESFORCE ARCHITECT & BUSINESS INTEL.
“I’m a multi-certified Salesforce professional who’s all about turning complexity into clarity. With a strong base in system administration, data governance, and enterprise architecture, I focus on making Salesforce not just functional, but actually usable, scalable, and in sync with real business goals. That means cleaner data, smoother workflows, and integrations that actually stick.
People tend to describe me as both technically sharp and approachable—I like solving hard problems without overcomplicating them, and I believe data-driven truth beats “feel-good” storytelling every time. My background in music, choreography, and theater sneaks into my work too, giving me an eye (and ear) for rhythm, flow, and a touch of creativity in every system I design.
At the end of the day, I’m here to build Salesforce environments that feel less like a headache and more like a tool that actually helps teams grow and succeed.”
The Good Stuff You Can’t Measure
(But You’ll Definitely Feel It)
Support That Meets You Where You Are
Whether you’re new to marketing or just tired of doing it all yourself, I’ll guide, teach, and collaborate at your pace—no pressure, no jargon, and no commitments you don’t feel good about.
Creative Confidence, One Step at a Time
I don’t just hand over a file and wish you luck—I walk you through it, explain the “why,” and make sure you feel proud of what you’re sharing. You’ll leave with more clarity and confidence in your brand voice, visuals, and vibe.
A Thought Partner You’ll Actually Enjoy
Working together should feel like a deep breath, not just another task on your list. I bring strategy, curiosity, a sense of humor, and the kind of energy that makes your ideas feel possible (and maybe even exciting again).
