Hive’s 2024 Wrapped
That’s a wrap! 2024 was full of fun projects and adding new clients to our Hive. Today’s blog is a quick look at a few projects we’ve completed over the last year.
websites
In 2024, we designed 21 new websites (with a few still in the works!)
One of these sites was designed and launched for our friends at W.E. Brown, who have provided home comfort solutions in Greater Charlottesville for over 100 years. They were looking for a more functional, streamlined way to provide information about the wide variety of home comfort services they offer. The new site is designed with W.E. Brown's customers in mind, with resources for homeowners, approachable information, and a clear and easy way to schedule service.
We also launched a website for Foxchase Design, a women-owned interior design firm in Charlottesville with impeccable taste and a keen eye for detail. We collaborated with them on a brand refresh and a website revamp. Their new site incorporates their brand, showcases their gorgeous portfolio, and highlights their range of services and thoughtful approach to design. If you're looking for talented designers to partner with for your space, reach out to Kori and Nicole at Foxchase Design!
social media
In 2024, we continued managing and creating content for 36 client social media profiles on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
One of the clients we welcomed to the Hive this past year was Cavalier Produce, a well-known local produce wholesaler! They came to us hoping to enhance the produce experience for restaurants, businesses, and colleges across Virginia. We meet monthly to develop a content calendar, discuss organic and paid social media strategies and campaigns, and review analytics reports. (Take a peek at their new website, which we launched for them in 2024 as well!)
Nest Realty Shenandoah Valley came to us in 2024 to take their social media marketing to the next level. We got the chance to meet the agents at the Staunton office to dive deep into strategy and collaboration, including a family reunion of sorts with Kalli's relative, Jo!
graphic design
2024 was full of branding and graphic design for Hive, with 15 brand identities completed!
One was for Rock Revolution, an indoor climbing gym opening in Charlottesville in 2025! Inspired by bringing the outdoors in, we incorporated earthy tones and a graphic element intended to imitate a sun over Seneca Rocks in West Virginia, a popular outdoor climbing destination for East Coast climbers. We chose a clean and rounded typeface to give a sense of approachability to the brand.
We also worked with Crozet Seafood Supply, Crozet’s very own seafood supplier, who moved in downstairs last year! We helped create a modern, welcoming brand that conveys a quality to attract a loyal, local audience. We designed a responsive, versatile logo that can be used in a variety of situations, from store signage and employee uniforms to website and social media.
We’re grateful for all the experiences we gained this year and the amazing people we got to know along the way. Thanks for coming along for the ride with Hive…we’re looking forward to the year ahead!
