Inside MightyHive, the agency helping brands create in-house agencies

“Our job is to ultimately replace ourselves.” That’s how MightyHive CEO Pete Kim describes the role his company plays in the ongoing tug of war between brands and agencies as the in-house agency movement continues to gain traction. MightyHive has quietly become the preferred agency for brands, including Bayer, Sprint and Nationwide, to hire as they start taking capabilities in-house and away from advertising agencies. The company thinks of what it does as helping “brands and agencies take control of their digital futures,” but what it really does is work with big brands to give them the expertise and training needed to ultimately become self-sufficient with their own digital media buying and planning. MightyHive acts as a coach to train clients across programmatic display, video, audio, social, search and, in the future, connected TV with the strategy and training to back it up.
