Creative Director at LiveHive
Des Moines, Iowa Area
LiveHive was founded by Jamie Cochran, a 10-year agency veteran, who felt that small to mid-sized businesses deserved a better alternative than dealing with the egos, hassles, and high prices that typically come along with hiring advertising agencies or expensive graphic design studios and web design companies. He also wanted to create a company whose guiding principles of integrity, respect, and passion were prominent in every relationship he forged along the way.
Jamie is a family man at heart. There’s nothing he enjoys more than spending quality time with his two children and wife of over 10 years. LiveHive offers him the ability to achieve the perfect balance between his work and family life.

LiveHive has no employees or an elaborate office in an ivory tower. This eliminates costly overhead and expenses and enables us to pass the savings on to our clients. Rather than relying on a static in-house staff who may not be the right fit for our clients projects, my team is diverse and totally customizable. In most cases, marketing consultation, marketing planning, project management, concept development, copywriting, partner negotiation/procurement, and production/printing supervision is handled in-house. The rest of my team is virtual. Based on our clients' needs and budget, I collaborate with my established network of independent, senior-level experts and other highly skilled and accomplished marketing specialists on an as-needed basis. LiveHive becomes whatever our clients' need us to be, for every project, without limitations, at a price they can afford—without sacrificing quality.
