ABOUT US

Penny Ross picture

Hi, I’m Penny Ross!

I co-founded 5x2 Marketing in August of 2023 with my best friend Hannah after talking about it for nearly 15 years! I graduated from Mississippi College in 2013 and I've had multiple positions as a Graphic Designer, Social Media Manager, Communications Director and the Do-Whatever-It-Takes-Person at several companies, mostly in the print industry. I love volunteering with RISE Nonprofit of Hattiesburg and had the joy of being their Director of Communications for two years when they had the RISE Hot Air Balloon Festival and needed extra help with such a huge undertaking. Now that I have my own agency, my time is spent obsessing over my clients' success and waking up excited every morning to work on new projects for them. I have the best husband in the universe, Taylor, and we are cat and dog parents to some of the cuddliest animals on the planet! I love our 5x2 Team and I pray every day that our team shines for Jesus through what we do as we help our clients grow, look good, and make some money!

Hi, I’m Hannah Lane!

Co-Founder/COO

Do you need marketing support? Looking for social media marketing support? Need a sleek logo and website that stands out from the rest? I’m here for you and your business! After earning my B.S. degree in Graphic Design in 2013, I dove right into a marketing career where I’ve been able to hone my craft. I’ve had the opportunity to design for, and manage, marketing campaigns for multiple national and global companies. I have 10+ years of graphic design experience, 8+ years of corporate marketing experience, and 8+ years copywriting and content curation.

Hi, I’m Donna Swanson!

Marketing Strategist

I am a Hattiesburg native and a graduate from Southern Miss with a major in marketing and a minor in social media content and strategy. I've interned at Temple Baptist Church, Kids Hub, and CED. At 5x2 I will be involved with Client Acquisition, Social Media and Marketing Strategy. I have to work hard so my dog, Anna (like in Frozen because she has a white stripe on her forehead), can have a better life. I also has 12 nieces and nephews and I'm very involved in my Church at Temple.
