Human creativity. AI-powered execution.
We started with a simple belief: businesses deserve marketing that actually works. Today, we're leading the charge into the AI era of marketing.
From a St. Cloud startup to Central Minnesota's first AI-powered agency.
Jive Media was founded in 2017 by brothers Justin and Cody Anderson with a straightforward mission: deliver marketing that produces measurable business results, not just pretty deliverables.
Starting as a video production and branding shop, we quickly expanded into full-service digital marketing as we saw our clients needed more than great creative — they needed strategy, data, and technology working together.
In 2023, we made a pivotal decision to invest heavily in AI and automation technology. While other agencies were still debating whether AI was a fad, we were building custom AI agents, deploying marketing automation workflows, and developing expertise in Answer Engine Optimization.
Today, Jive Media is the only agency in Central Minnesota that combines traditional marketing expertise — branding, video, web development, content — with cutting-edge AI-powered execution. For the cost of one full-time marketing employee, our clients get an entire team of specialists plus AI agents that work around the clock.
What we believe in.
Results Over Vanity
We measure success by business outcomes — revenue, leads, and ROI — not likes, followers, or impressions.
Human + AI
We believe the best marketing combines human creativity and strategic thinking with AI-powered execution and optimization.
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, Modern Tools
We're proud Central Minnesotans who bring world-class marketing technology to businesses in our community.
