Built by operators. Run by people who give a damn.
We started Jive because we were tired of watching businesses get burned by agencies that overpromise and underdeliver. Twenty years later, we're still here — a team of 8 doing the work that actually moves the needle.
From a St. Cloud startup to a national marketing team that outworks agencies three times our size.
Jive Media was founded in 2006 by brothers Justin and Cody Anderson with a straightforward mission: deliver marketing that produces measurable business results, not just pretty deliverables.
Starting as a branding and creative agency, we expanded over the years into full-service digital marketing as we saw our clients needed more than great creative — they needed strategy, data, and technology working together.
Over two decades, we've built a team of specialists who handle everything in-house — SEO, paid ads, web development, video production, branding, and marketing automation. We stay on the cutting edge of tools and technology so our clients don't have to.
Today, Jive is a lean team of 8 operators serving 200+ clients nationwide. For the cost of one full-time marketing employee, you get an entire team of specialists who know your business, pick up the phone, and treat your budget like their own money.
What we believe in.
Results Over Vanity
We measure success by business outcomes — revenue, leads, and ROI — not likes, followers, or impressions.
People First, Tools Second
We use every modern tool available — but the reason clients win is real humans who care about their business, pick up the phone, and bring ideas to the table.
Transparency Always
No black boxes. You see exactly what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what results it's producing — in real time.
Local Roots, National Reach
We're proud Central Minnesotans who serve clients nationwide with the same hands-on attention we give our neighbors.
