THE HIVE

Team

"We're not afraid to take bold moves in order to make waves for our clients and help them stand out in their industry. "
-Natalee Benjamin, Queen Bee

After experiencing the limitations of a 'one size fits all' company, she buzzed out of the corporate world in pursuit of an entrepreneurial opportunity. Fueled by her deep knowledge of advertising needs and two decades of experience, she understood the hive-like diversity of business approaches, each essential in its own right. This led her to establish Hive Media, where tailored strategies thrive, setting her clients apart in a bustling marketplace.

Unencumbered by “the facts.” Driven by intuition, experience, and a genuine desire to connect.


Crystal brings energy, clarity, and a refreshingly honest approach to marketing. No buzzwords. No pretentious BS. Just real conversations, real strategy, and real results.
-Crystal Suarez, Lil Mamacita

Bringing clients to the forefront of their prospect’s awareness starts with one simple belief "Never insult someone’s intelligence."


Crystal focuses on human connection first. Every interaction is designed to build trust, spark interest, and leave people feeling seen. Marketing should feel good, not forced.

"Clean data is the difference between guessing and knowing. When the data is right, marketing works harder and results follow."
-Christian Torres, Director of Data Strategy

Christian Torres has built his career helping dealerships turn raw data into real results. After seeing how messy reporting, disconnected systems, and inaccurate data lead to wasted spend and missed opportunities, he focused on building cleaner, smarter data foundations.


As Director of Data Strategy and Analysis at Hive Media, Christian ensures marketing decisions are driven by accurate service and sales data, not assumptions. His work connects the dots between customer behavior, campaign performance, and revenue so dealerships can market with confidence and scale what actually works.
