we get it...
You’re busy running the day to day of your business, serving customers, and managing your team but your marketing keeps slipping through the cracks.
Maybe you’ve tried posting when you remember, jumping on a trend here and there, or throwing together content between shifts. But without a strategy behind it, marketing starts to feel scattered and inconsistent.
The truth is, great marketing isn’t about posting more. It’s about posting with purpose.
That’s where Hive comes in.
We help businesses turn scattered marketing efforts into a clear, intentional strategy that actually supports growth. From social media and paid ads to audits and planning, our team helps you create marketing that works while you focus on running your business.

What happens when we take over your marketing...
We’re not here to just “stay consistent” and hope something sticks. Every piece of content, every campaign, and every decision is made with a clear goal in mind, to get your brand in front of the right people and actually drive growth.
We focus on what’s working, what’s not, and where the opportunities are, so we’re not wasting time guessing. Instead, we’re building momentum, increasing visibility, and creating content that brings new people into your world while keeping your current audience engaged.
Here’s what that’s looked like for a few of our clients in just 30 days:
• Increased client views by 49.8%
• Increased engagement from non-followers by 35.8%
• Increased following by 20%
• Increased Facebook page visits by 39.2%
And that’s not from one-off posts or random bursts of activity. That’s from consistent, intentional strategy paired with execution that’s designed to perform.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about showing up online. It’s about building something that grows with you, reaches the right people, and delivers results you can actually see.
Case Study: Tic Toc
Menu Design | Brand Experience
A menu isn’t just a list of items, it’s one of the most powerful sales tools a business has.
When we stepped into the Tic Toc redesign, the goal wasn’t just to “make it look better.” It was to create something clearer, more intentional, and aligned with the overall brand experience so customers could quickly understand what they’re ordering and feel confident in their choices.
The original menu lacked structure, hierarchy, and visual flow, making it harder for customers to navigate and ultimately slowing down decision-making.
After the redesign, we focused on simplifying the layout, highlighting key items, and creating a more cohesive visual experience that guides the customer naturally through the menu.
The result? A menu that not only looks elevated, but works harder for the business. Hover over the images to see the menu before we redesigned it.

Case Study: Bowker Pinnacle Mechanical
Brand Awareness | Collateral Design
We partnered with Bowker Pinnacle Mechanical to elevate brand awareness and bring a more cohesive, professional feel to their marketing.
In a technical, service-based industry, clarity and credibility matter.
We refined their visuals and messaging to better communicate what they do, who they serve, and the level of quality they deliver.
The result is a stronger first impression, clearer positioning, and a brand that builds trust before the first conversation even happens.
Case Study: Sip at Midtown Reserve
Social Media | Brand Awareness
We brought Sip at Midtown Reserve to life online through intentional social media strategy and content designed to reflect the in-person experience.
From the start, the brand voice was clear — classy, with a little bit of sass. Think girls night, a little yap, and a space you want to come back to.
By building a cohesive, elevated presence from day one, we helped create buzz, attract the right audience, and establish a strong brand leading into and beyond opening.

how hive works
Strategy First.
Buzz Second.
At Hive Media, we don’t post just to post or chase whatever trend is making the rounds this week.
Great marketing starts with understanding your business, your audience, and what actually moves the needle. That’s why every partnership begins with strategy first.
From there, we bring the creativity to life with marketing that feels polished but never corporate, strategic but never stuffy, and intentional every step of the way.
Mary Kate
Beardsworth
Founder/Project Manager
Mary Kate started Hive Media with a simple belief: great marketing should be both strategic and human. After working with brands across industries, she saw how many businesses were chasing trends without a clear plan. Hive was built to change that.
At Hive, Mary Kate leads strategy for clients — helping brands turn scattered ideas into intentional marketing that actually supports growth. From social media strategy to digital campaigns and audits, she loves helping businesses find clarity in their marketing and build momentum online.
She’s equal parts strategist and creative thinker, and she believes the best marketing comes from understanding the why behind every decision.
When she’s not working with clients, you’ll probably find her chasing down her two kiddos, , cheering on the Hawkeyes, or enjoying a skinny marg on a patio somewhere.
