Meet our founder, Nicole Marguerite Gray.
Nicole began her career working across marketing and communications roles before going on to build Five to Nine, a personal branding and marketing consultancy focused on strategic visibility and long-term credibility. Along the way, she played a pivotal role in scaling a successful marketing agency, before becoming an Account Director at an award-winning personal branding agency.
In that role, Nicole grew personal brands from 5,000 to over 100,000 followers, worked closely with multiple LinkedIn Top Voices, and supported founders in securing millions in investment through clear positioning and consistent thought leadership. These experiences showed her how powerful considered communication can be - not just in driving reach, but in shaping trust, influence, and commercial outcomes.
Motivated to make that process more accessible, she founded Five to Nine as both a consultancy and a platform - helping people articulate their value, and build their credibility.

Five To Nine packages require a three-month commitment. We focus on quarterly plans because our services are most effective for ongoing branding needs, rather than one-off social media projects. With a quarterly commitment, you unlock access to all our design services. This lets you not only scale and elevate your social media presence but also tap into the expertise of a dedicated team who understands your brand and transforms your vision into reality. The longer you partner with Five To Nine, the more value you'll extract for social media and all aspects of your brand growth.

Social media and personal brand creative services operate by strategically enhancing a person’s online presence across various platforms. Our process begins with developing a deep understanding of your objectives, target audiences and brand identity. We then develop a strategy, outlining key messages and content themes, powered by high-impact visuals, that will resonate with your intended audience.
-
Our personal brand services cater to a diverse customer base, primarily attracting the attention of solopreneurs and start-up leader seeking a strategic advantage in online engagement. Five To Nine is a go-to choice for leaders when their internal resources and insight have reached their capacity, requiring an infusion of innovative ideas or when there's a pressing need to expand awareness in personal brand. Maintaining a consistent and commercially-savvy presence online is essential for brand growth and sustained audience engagement. Whether you’re expanding your business, preparing for investment, looking to grow your customer base or increase your influence, we help crease ease throughout the process.
-
As a minimum, you’re involved in being the face of the brand. That looks like sharing photos, providing context on your perspective and - depending on your package - recording videos. All of our packages are scalable depending on what you want to achieve. Our expert teams work across all platforms to create content that is right for you. Our approach is designed to give you the freedom of choice - being more heavily involved, or being able to confidently take a step back from the elements of personal branding that you don’t love.
-
Your personal brand is treated like a business asset - it’s valued and protected, and our recommendations are carefully considered based on our in-depth understanding of you and your business.
We go beyond traditional personal branding or ghostwriting services to support you with a wealth of skilled and experienced marketers to ensure that your personal brand is not just you posting on social media - it’s something that holds increasing value in relation to your business. Guiding you through the process and delivering with efficiency and precision.
