About Hive Agency
Hive Agency says its studio at Paintworks in Bristol has brought together strategists, designers, developers and other specialists since 2005, and describes itself as an independent, multi-disciplinary agency. Its site is short, with an about page, a work page, two case studies and a contact page, and says it works with business owners and in-house marketing teams to deepen customer engagement and drive growth. Its team, it says, has experience from agency and in-house roles with global brands.
The services are in four groups, each listed on the about page. Strategy covers research, brand positioning, marketing strategy, stakeholder engagement, internal communications, client experience, digital transformation and marketing operations. Brand covers workshops, brand creation, visual identity, evolution, management, guidelines and employer branding. Creative covers campaigns, advertising, outdoor, sales tools, editorial, packaging, environments, art direction, photography and copywriting. Digital covers multi-platform websites, UX design, CRM, content, email and social campaigns and moving image. The agency says everything starts with strategy.
Two case studies are described in words and carry no figures. For Gillards, a family fulfilment and logistics business, it reviewed the brand and marketing strategy as part of a wider transformation, and built a new brand voice and imagery to reposition the firm as an ecommerce fulfilment partner. For the Johnson Group, it developed a new group identity and digital strategy after the sale of the business that held its old logo, including brand positioning workshops, brand architecture and a copy platform.
The pages read give no prices, no minimum project size, no team size and no contract terms. The contact page gives a telephone number and an email address. Ask what a brand strategy workshop costs, how many people would work on a rebrand of your size, and who owns the brand files at the end.
Online Agency Network compiled this profile from the agency’s own website in October 2026. The agency has not claimed the listing, and it does not carry the Verified badge. An agency that claims its listing can correct it and add budgets, case studies and team details.
