The studio

A production house that buys its own media

Newhive is a team in Surrey, BC that makes the film and runs the spend behind it. We took the split between creative and performance out of the org chart because that seam is where most campaigns die.

How we're built

Four seats, one room

Direction

Two directors who write, board, and cut their own work, so intent survives the edit.

Production

In-house camera, sound, and grip. Crew scales up locally when a shoot needs it.

Post & volume

Every shoot day yields the hero film plus the vertical cutdowns each platform wants.

Media

Buyers who sit in the creative reviews and report against the numbers we agreed on.

What we hold to

Three things we never move on

Open books on spend

You own the ad accounts. Our fee is a separate line, never a markup buried in media.

One team, start to finish

The people on your kickoff call are the people on set and in your ad account.

Scoped to your stage

We will tell you when a single launch film is enough and you don't need a program.
