§ 01

What Dept5 can take off your plate.

Capabilities
Pg. 01

You bring the strategy, brand direction, and source creative. Dept5 turns it into finished launch assets with dedicated QA review before handoff. When the campaign needs a destination, an AI-powered content hub, or answer-engine visibility, Dept5 can build that layer too.

Display & Rich Media/ 01

HTML5 banners that pass publisher specs.

Standard display, rich media, fallback states, file-size discipline, trafficking checks, and final handoff.

  • HTML5
  • Rich media
  • Apple News
  • Fallbacks
  • QA
  • Sub-200KB
More context

For marketing teams, this is the practical layer that makes media plans real: units built to spec, checked before handoff, and ready for publishers without turning every placement into a new production problem.

  • HTML5 builds, rich-media units, Apple News placements, backup images, clickthrough checks, file-size passes, and publisher-ready final packages.
  • Best fit when a campaign has many media partners, tight specs, or a lot of small delivery details that still need to feel polished.
Video & Motion/ 02

Cutdowns, supers, end cards, VFX, and 3D polish.

Campaign videos built for streaming, paid social, retail media, YouTube, TikTok, and launch pages.

  • Cutdowns
  • Supers
  • End cards
  • Sound
  • VFX
  • 3D
More context

Dept5 can take premium source footage, game capture, campaign art, or raw direction and turn it into platform-ready video assets with editorial pacing, sound design, motion polish, and clean version control.

  • Cutdowns, animated supers, end cards, logo/rating versions, VFX cleanup, 3D polish, sound design, and exports for paid social, CTV, YouTube, TikTok, retail media, and launch pages.
  • Best fit when the hero asset needs to become a family of ads without feeling like a smaller, weaker trailer.
Resize & Versioning/ 03

One idea adapted cleanly across every channel.

Aspect ratios, placements, formats, specs, creative variants, and version control without losing craft.

  • 1:1
  • 9:16
  • 16:9
  • CTV
  • Retail
  • Social
More context

This is where scale usually breaks creative. Dept5 keeps the system organized so every size, duration, format, and regional version still feels like the same campaign.

  • Format matrices, aspect-ratio adaptations, duration cutdowns, placement variants, naming discipline, review links, change tracking, and final export control.
  • Best fit when one approved idea needs to become dozens or hundreds of assets without losing hierarchy, polish, or brand consistency.
Localization/ 04

Multi-market work that still feels designed.

Languages, regions, legal lines, supers, end cards, review notes, and production checks.

  • Multi-language
  • ESRB
  • PEGI
  • CERO
  • Legal lines
  • QA
More context

Global launches need more than translation. We protect hierarchy, spacing, timing, rating requirements, final-file clarity, and compliance notes while markets and stakeholders keep moving.

  • Language swaps, legal lines, rating marks, region-specific supers, localized end cards, timing checks, text-fit passes, and stakeholder revision rounds.
  • Best fit when a launch has multiple markets, platform rules, ratings bodies, or regional reviewers who need accurate files fast.
Campaign Pages/ 05

Landing pages when the media needs somewhere to send people.

Launch pages, partner pages, product explainers, paid-media pages, proof pages, and lightweight interactive demos built around the offer.

  • Landing pages
  • Partner pages
  • Proof pages
  • Explainers
  • Demos
  • Offers
More context

These are focused campaign destinations, not bloated microsites: pages that make the paid-media click useful, support partner programs, or give stakeholders a clear place to point traffic.

  • Launch pages, partner pages, proof pages, explainers, offer pages, demo pages, campaign recaps, and lightweight interactive experiences.
  • Best fit when the campaign needs a sharper destination than a generic homepage or product page.
AI Content Hubs/ 06

Always-updating hubs for campaigns that need more than one page.

Useful brand and product hubs for FAQs, comparisons, launch updates, resources, partner content, and stories that should keep getting better after the campaign starts.

  • FAQs
  • Comparisons
  • Resources
  • Updates
  • Partner content
  • Stories
More context

AI content hubs are useful when a brand has material that should evolve over time. They can start with a small, controlled dataset and expand as the campaign, audience, and content library grow.

  • Structured FAQs, product or profile pages, comparison content, resource libraries, partner stories, launch updates, and editorial modules that can be refreshed after launch.
  • Best fit when a campaign needs more than one page and the content should become more useful as new information is approved.
AEO & Answer Pages/ 07

Pages built for the questions people ask search and AI tools.

For product companies and brands that want to be visible in answers like best options, comparisons, how-to questions, buyer research, and category explainers.

  • AEO
  • FAQs
  • Comparisons
  • Explainers
  • Glossaries
  • Buyer research
More context

AEO is not a shortcut or a guaranteed placement. It means answering the questions customers, buyers, and AI tools are likely to ask in language that is clear, structured, useful, and credible enough to represent the brand.

  • Answer pages, comparison explainers, glossaries, buyer questions, category education, product-fit pages, and structured source content for search and AI discovery.
  • Best fit for product companies and category leaders who need accurate, useful answers around high-intent questions.
QA & Handoff/ 08

Legal, compliance, spec, and brand checks before anything ships.

Dedicated QA for copy, supers, logos, file specs, fallbacks, naming, exports, review links, trafficking notes, and final packages.

  • Legal
  • Compliance
  • Specs
  • Review links
  • Naming
  • Final files
More context

QA is part of the production system, not a last-minute pass. Dept5 checks the details that make complex launches survivable: copy, dimensions, compliance marks, naming, exports, fallbacks, and handoff clarity.

  • Copy/super checks, logo use, legal and compliance notes, rating marks, file specs, fallback states, export names, review links, trafficking notes, and final package review.
  • Best fit when a launch has lots of stakeholders, regulated claims, publisher specs, or a deadline where small mistakes become expensive.
