Welcome to 5AM LAB, a creative studio founded by me, Chanel (with hands-on support from my dog Adele). Drawing from my firsthand experience navigating the hurdles of startups, I've founded 5AM LAB on a mission to assist startup founders and teams in handling their marketing and design needs, allowing them to reclaim valuable time for their primary tasks (and maybe catch a few extra hours of sleep).

What’s your challenge?
While no two challenges are identical, my four pre-built solution packages offer a solid starting point. Choose one that resonates with your objectives, then dive into personalization to align it perfectly with your distinct needs.
Our in-house marketing team lacks creative systems and templates which results in a lack of efficiency and focus.
We have irregular demands in different areas such as social media creation, graphic design and advertising design that can’t be covered by internal resources.
We struggle with setting ourselves apart from our competitors because we’re missing a strong brand identity that puts us on the map.
We lack the resources to fully maximize the potential of our visual and textual content and adapt it for all our communication channels.

I worked with Chanel on a branding project including some print material. I was impressed by the energy and passion Chanel has. Her knowledge about branding is very impressive and she managed to surprise me with an outcome that I would never have thought of and I love it! Chanel is fun to work with, reliable and exceeded my expectations by far. I can only recommend Chanel!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chanel / 5am Lab and I can say with full confidence that the experience was outstanding in every aspect. From start to finish I was amazed by her professionalism, expertise, creativity, experience, adaptability, reliability and eye for detail. Chanels sense of aesthetics is remarkable, her ability to adapt to new information is impressive and her expertise and feedback has elevated the final product to a new level. I had an extremely positive experience and would recommend her to anyone looking for design/marketing/ brand support.
Chanel stepped in at short notice for a critical client project and supported us with her versatile skills and flexibility. In moments of internal challenges, she stood by our side in an uncomplicated and professional manner. We value her creativity and pragmatism as well as her proactive communication.
The fast and professional realisation as well as the clear communication from Chanel made the joint project a success. We would be happy to do it again!
The rebranding with Chanel was enjoyable, and her competent advice is invaluable. She skillfully guided me through the rebranding process, patiently listened to my ideas and inputs, and implemented them better than I could have wished for. I am extremely satisfied with the result and can highly recommend her services.
