Our Solutions

Taking Flight With a New Identity
When the former San Diego Audubon Society approached Fifth Estate to develop a communications strategy, the project quickly shifted scope as the Audubon name was becoming associated with controversy around actions the naturalist took during his lifetime.

Integrated Web Services
Fifth Estate offers a unique website solution for organizations seeking to build a dynamic online presence within time and resource constraints. By integrating design and content — each member of our team does both — we are able to work efficiently and nimbly. No more exhaustive change orders for easy fixes, or unanticipated fees for edits and adjustments.
