A people-first agency that designs better journeys.

A girl with curly hair tied with a white scrunchie is sitting at a desk, looking at a laptop displaying a Pinterest page with images of plants and greenery. The desk has a notebook with a pen, a glass spray bottle, and several potted plants, including a green leafy one in a woven basket. The background wall has pictures and notes pinned to it, including a portrait of a man and various colorful sticky notes.

The Hive brings together deep experience in project management, agencies, art direction, digital, operations and client delivery, plus time on the client side. It helps businesses see their journey the way clients and teams experience it, find the friction and fix it.

It's also built around people. The Hive invests in local relationships, talent and businesses, and leaves room for the people behind the work to be present for their families. It exists to prove that growth can be built around people as much as profit. When the people in a business are happy, the business follows.

The Hive, led by Fiona Haynes, Founder & Principal Consultant

Built on experience from both sides of the table.

Fiona Haynes, PMP®, has more than 15+ years in marketing, design and the creative industry, including over five years in project and digital management. She has worked as an art director and project manager in agencies across Canada, on local, national and international brands, and on the client side, so she understands how a service is designed, delivered and received.

What you can expect.

  • People first. Every improvement is judged by whether it makes the experience better for the people using it.

  • The whole journey. Problems rarely start where they show up, so we look from onboarding to offboarding, from both the client and employee side.

  • Keep what works. We're system-agnostic, with no software to sell, and recommend new tools only when they'd genuinely help.

  • One accountable lead. Fiona leads every engagement from insight through to launch, bringing in trusted specialists when needed.
