They have greatly impacted our business and have brought us to the next level with respect to producing events. The team at The Hive feels like family and have always made us feel very comfortable with every project that we have created with them!
My experiences with the Hive Media team have gone far and beyond anything I’d ever expected. Their expertise around story-telling has helped us capture the true essence of our project and in such a way that it captivates our audience’s head AND heart. From planning to production to videography to editing and more, they have a certain magic in their process that simply brings people’s stories, ideas and dreams to life.
Dez, Mike and the entire team are incredible to work with. They don't just have ideas...they back it up with work that wow's audiences.
Finding a space where I could retain my creative energy and find a family of support during the pandemic was such a blessing. The Creative Hive offered that and so much more. Their care and consistent check ins made us feel like we were part of a team, a part of something bigger. One year later, I consider everyone in the building a friend and I feel like we can rely on each other for any of the wild and outlandish ideas. Their creativity and consistency follows into their production work always.
