Thanks for visiting Digital Hive. At first glance, clients are impressed with Digital Hive's visual design capabilities. What they often don't realize just by looking at the outcome is the sound business thinking that guides the firm in arriving at their communications solutions.

We recognize the significant investment involved in arriving at and communicating a message, and that not understanding the target or not testing the idea against measurable business objectives is likely to waste resources.

We can show you how great design, combined with savvy marketing strategy, can help your business prosper, while saving money and time.

How We Annoy Our Clients In Ways That They Thank Us For Later

We're relentless about doing work that gets the intended results. Clients appreciate that we always bring everything back to strategy, even though we can sound like a broken record sometimes. We are constantly asking: "How does this meet the business objectives? Is this messaging appropriate for the target audience?" If these elements are missing, then the campaign may not be successful, and the product could fail.

Putting the Logic Back into Ecological

In addition to their design and marketing capabilities, Digital Hive's team are expert facilitators skilled in bringing together multiple stakeholders, such as non-profits, NGOs, and business leaders, to arrive at communications solutions together. This is why Digital Hive calls their work: EcoLogical Design. Ecology and economics come from that same root, and finding their common ground is a way everyone can be smart and look smart, and it also happens to be great for business.

Digital Hive People

Digital Hive is a team of designers and strategists who have backgrounds in advertising, marketing, business management, software development, psychology, history, fine art, and, of course, commercial design. We have been marketing managers, television directors, art directors, production artists, copywriters, teachers, pixel pushers and software engineers.

Besides working (a lot) we are also big nature enthusiasts. Having experiences like: navigating the backcountry without a map, digging refrigerators in the tundra, and being able to detect the presence of grizzlies without them seeing us first really does help us do better work for our clients. (So when we take off to go ice climbing in Patagonia, you'll understand it makes us even better at what we do.)

Most of all, we are keen strategists who understand how to build strong brands.

We are passionate about what we do. Through strategic marketing and design we are empowering progressive businesses to have the right messaging and branding so that they can succeed and win the hearts and minds of their consumers.

Business as usual, driven only by short term financial returns, is responsible for a lot of the environmental and social degredation in societies around the world. For a long time, social and environmental concerns belonged only to activists, non-profits and NGOs.

As much as business has been responsible for undesirable consequences, we believe that business can be a potent lever for social change. There is a growing connection between respecting the environment and people while pursuing a healthy financial return. At Digital Hive, our business is our advocacy. We are dedicated to serving enterprises that want to make a difference.
