Law firm Bovarnick and Associates feature Hive Media by interviewing Hive Media Founder, William Weaver.
Client Featured: Hive Media
Will Weaver started on the road of entrepreneurship with a video game guide company. From this successful venture he expanded to a gaming computer company in order to sell equipment back to his original customers. Will moved on to found Hive Media, a media development company, as well as the DreamHappy Foundation, a children’s charity.
What is Hive Media’s mission?
William Weaver: “We are a multimedia company that develops web sites, iphone applications, online games and print graphics. Our goal is to use a top talented global team of artists and programmers to provide our clients with exceptional work at affordable prices. We do this by scouring the globe for artists and programmers who have a proven track record and who work at reasonable rates.”
Why did you start it?
William Weaver: “I had a small group of artists from a previous venture. We noticed that there were many service companies which, in an attempt to offer the very lowest prices, were sacrificing quality. We believed we could find a balance of quality and affordability. By using very high end talent, mostly individuals in other nations, we are able to offer affordable rates while still maintaining the highest level of quality on the projects we complete.”
How was your first year in business?
William Weaver: “During our initial six months Hive Media grew slowly as we learned what our clients needed. We began to grow our brand, our samples and our client list, all of which can be reviewed on our website, HiveMedia.org. We have refined our service list and business model to what it is today. We did well our first year, despite going into business during what could arguably be called the peak of the bad economy. We have no debt and very little overhead. Our business model simply allows us to grow.”
What are your most memorable projects?
“Most of our projects are under non-disclosure agreements, which we take very seriously. One project we can mention was a video game for the xBox360. The company and financier came to Hive Media with a history, lore, and set of rules for their video game and had us create several game characters as well as the 3D world the consumer would play in. It was very exciting to see the project develop from ideas to concept art, then to complex illustrations, and eventually to a living 3D world with 3D characters.”
What is the project you are most proud of?
William Weaver: “We have developed several large projects. One which I remember fondly was creating designs for the Hard Rock Cafe’s American and Japanese line of very important signature shirts. While I cannot go into detail, our clients were very particular about creating designs that attracted a mass audience of consumers. We enjoyed being able to work closely with our client to create designs that would maximize revenue by appealing to a large demographic while still maintaining our clients unique brand.”
What are your goals over the next few years?
William Weaver: “Despite our success we still have a lot of room to grow. We wish to grow our client base, brand reach and business network. We also wish to expand our pool of talent to additional nations and open offices in those locations. The future looks promising and given time I believe our success will only grow due to our firm commitment to quality.”
