About Us
Marketing and Graphics, Under One Roof
Everything a Southwest Ohio business needs to get found, get chosen and look the part — built by one team in Lebanon.
Brand 513 Collective is a marketing, graphics and design company in Lebanon, Ohio, serving businesses across Southwest Ohio.
We do two things that usually live at two different companies. We run the marketing that gets a business found and chosen — SEO, AEO and GEO, websites, social media, lead generation, advertising. And we produce the physical side of a brand, from the logo to the storefront sign to the wrap on the truck. One roof, one team.
Why one shop instead of four
The usual way a small business builds its brand is by accident. A logo from one place, a sign from another, shirts from a third, a website from a fourth, and SEO from whoever called last. Five interpretations of the same brand, none of which quite match.
That inconsistency is expensive in a way that never appears on an invoice. It is the reason a genuinely good ten-year-old company can look like it started last month.
When one team designs the logo, prints the cards, letters the storefront, wraps the truck, decorates the shirts and builds the website, the colors match because the same people picked them. The files are the right format because whoever made them knew where they were going. And when something needs to change, you make one phone call.
Marketing that is measured, not assumed
Most local marketing is sold on impressions and rankings — numbers that feel like progress and never show up in the bank. We build toward leads: calls, form fills and booked jobs, tracked back to whatever produced them.
That includes the physical side. A wrapped truck and a yard sign generate real leads, and almost nobody tracks them, so they get treated as unmeasurable and cut first. We can put a tracking number on your vehicle graphics and tell you exactly what the truck brought in.
Built for how search actually works now
A meaningful share of your customers no longer scroll a page of blue links. They ask Google a question and read the answer box, or they ask ChatGPT or Perplexity outright and hire whoever gets named.
That is a different discipline from classic SEO, and one most shops in this market have not started doing. Every site we build ships with the structured data, the quotable question-and-answer content and the consistent business facts that make a company citable — not merely crawlable.
How We Work
What We Actually Believe
Straight answers, always
If a cheaper option gets you 90% of the result, we'll say so. If what you're asking for won't work, we'll tell you before you pay for it, not after.
Do it once, do it right
Cast vinyl instead of calendared. Proper prep instead of a fast install. Vector files instead of a logo pulled off a website. The shortcuts always cost more later.
Local means accountable
Our name is on a building on North Broadway. We run into our clients at the grocery store. That's a stronger quality guarantee than any warranty language.
One brand, everywhere
Consistency is the cheapest way for a small company to look like a big one — and the easiest thing to lose when five vendors each interpret your brand differently.
Our Process
Four Steps, No Runaround
Talk it through
A real conversation about what you're trying to grow — not a form. We'll tell you honestly what moves the needle and what doesn't.
Plan and proof
You see it before we make it. Wrap renders on your actual vehicle, sign mockups on your actual building, page layouts before a line of code.
Build and launch
Printing, fabrication, development and campaign setup. One shop, one schedule, no handoffs between vendors who blame each other.
Measure and grow
Installed, launched, tracked. Monthly reporting in plain language, and a real person to call when something needs to change.
FAQ
About Brand 513 Collective
Straight answers to what people actually ask us.
Where is Brand 513 Collective located?
Our shop is at 535 N Broadway, Unit B, Lebanon, Ohio 45036 — a few blocks from the courthouse square in downtown Lebanon. We serve businesses across Southwest Ohio from there.
What does the 513 in the name mean?
513 is the area code for Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio. It's where we are, who we serve, and a commitment that we're a local shop rather than a national chain with a local phone number.
Do I have to deal with multiple vendors?
No. Design, print, vehicle wraps, signage, apparel decoration, websites, SEO, social media, advertising and lead generation all run through us. That's the entire point — one vendor, one invoice, one point of contact.
Do you work with businesses outside Southwest Ohio?
Yes, for anything that doesn't require physical installation. Brand design, websites, SEO, social media, advertising and lead generation can be handled anywhere. Wraps, signage and apparel are best served within a reasonable drive of Southwest Ohio.
How quickly will I hear back?
Usually the same business day, and almost always within one. Call or text (513) 613-2531 during business hours and you'll typically reach us directly.
