Digital Marketing

JIVE can manage your SEO, PPC and social media advertising campaigns with effectiveness and efficiency. Our work is NOT outsourced overseas. Rates start from as low as $450 per month.More

Email marketing

A natural extension to websites and lead generation, email marketing is also an ideal companion to blogs and social media. Bespoke campaigns, ongoing enewsletters or RSS feed templates to service your blog.

Promotions

Promotional marketing can engage consumers, create an additional reason for consumers to consider your business, and it can help sell though slow moving stock. This classic tactic still requires strategic thinking.

Social Media

JIVE can develop your social media strategy, write posts & develop content, or simply set up all your channels and you can DIY after that. You can be as “hands on” or “hands off” as you want to be.More
