Replacing BlueVenn? Find out why we're the best alternative.
It's our people that make us great
Just in case you want to know who's behind Team Hive, we've put together a few words on our core leadership team - the ones we were able to force in front of a camera - although not all of us appear to be able to look straight down the lens...

He has spent the last 20+ years working with marketing teams of all shapes and sizes, to take their operational marketing needs and deliver successful technology-backed solutions.
