“We recently partnered with Jive on a campaign for our client, New Brunswick Nurse’s Union and we could not be happier with the experience, process, and results. From our initial conversations when they were bidding on our campaign to the final delivery and follow-up, they were a joy to work with. They took the time to understand our concept and vision, to work with our budget to bring it to life and found unique and inspiring solutions to some of the challenges we faced along the way. With a campaign that involved real people not actors, emotional and important subject matter, bilingual requirements, along with photography, footage, and b-roll in a limited time frame we had to be nimble and flexible. And we needed a partner who could work that way with us. Jive was the perfect fit, and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
— Christa Steeves, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Pilot
“James and his crew were wonderful to work with. Working under a tight deadline and with COVID-19 restrictions changing constantly, they really pulled together to produce high-quality, riveting videos that exceeded our expectations. During the planning stage, they listened to our ideas and concerns, taking the time to understand our vision for the project and then carried that forward into the final product. The team were all consummate pros when it came to working with camera-shy people: they were patient and understanding and always put folks at ease, bringing out the best in everyone. Their creativity, attention to detail and dedication to their craft was reflected in the final videos, which were slick and professional, and really captured the essence of each person.”
— Janice Hudson and Marnie Gillis, Doctors Nova Scotia
“Working with James and the team at JIVE was fantastic. We needed some new experiential content for the hotel and the JIVE team was able to capture the amazing experiences our guests have day to day through video and photographs. The pre-planning and site visits leading up really allowed the shoot to run smoothly. We look forward to working with them again soon!”

“We have nothing but good things to say about working with Jive Photographic Productions. They were professional, delivered on time and lent their expertise to help us turn our vision into a fantastic video. We were extremely pleased with not just the product itself, but the collaborative process to get there. The video developed has received praise from the health care providers and social media. We would highly recommend Jive Photographic Productions to others as they were a pleasure to work with and produced a video which has become a central focus in our program’s communication strategy”

“In the summer of 2024, we contracted Jive Productions to produce a promotional video for our website. Working with Jive on this project was an incredible experience for all of us at Solutions Learning Centre. From the start, the Jive crew exuded enthusiasm for the project and truly took the time to understand all aspects of the valued work we do in our community. They worked arduously, adapted as needed and ultimately delivered an end product that was amazing. Jive’s level of professionalism, dedication and concern for capturing the best of what we do was remarkable. They used innovative and creative tools and in the end, produced a video that exceeded all expectations. We were left feeling proud and grateful that our vision was so clearly captured and proud that we could finally showcase the work we do at SLC to change lives. We consider Jive Productions to be a valued community partner who clearly prioritized our unique needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more positive experience and would recommend Jive Production for all media needs. ”

“Brigadoon is a small organization experiencing growth at a rapid pace, so we hopped at the chance to engage JIVE in social media support as soon as they launched the program. As a one-person department, I’m pulled in several directions at once, and many rely on me to support them. Unfortunately, social media seems to become a low priority when projects begin to compete, even though it’s an essential means of communication for our campers, their families, and our supporters. It’s a huge comfort knowing that regardless of what projects arise, our voice remains constant and present on all of our channels. Samantha took excellent care to get to know who we were so that our posts remained authentic and on-brand. Everyone loves the graphics she creates, and our engagement (and following) has grown exponentially since she began managing our posts. Samantha & the JIVE team are a part of our family now & we know we’re in good hands with them!”
— Callie Gallant (she/her) , Director of Marketing & Communications, Brigadoon Village
““James Ingram and his team were able to take our limited knowledge of production and film and turn our message into something outstanding. We really wanted to capture our procedural changes on film to show our future and current clients how we are operating during the COVID-19 pandemic and they nailed it! I can’t wait until our next opportunity to work together on the next project. Highly recommended!!””
— Bruce MacDonald – President | Bench Automotive Inc, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
“I was delighted to work with James Ingram on a brand new project for Doctors Nova Scotia. For years now, James has delivered engaging, dynamic photos of our physician leaders to help us tell their very important stories. Recently, we branched into video to tell a physician’s story. James pulled together an amazing team of professionals, he directed and delivered a video that was more than we could have dreamed. He was able to synthesize and create a production that told the story we wanted to tell. I’m delighted with the outcome and I couldn’t recommend James Ingram, Jive Photographic more highly.
James and his team impressed me with their flexibility and resourcefulness. Their dedication to craft and attention to detail resulted in a product that surpassed our client’s expectations. A great experience.”
— Barbara Johnson - Senior Communications Advisor | Doctors Nova Scotia
“I am so pleased with the level of collaboration, professionalism, thoughtfulness, and the above-and-beyond measures the team took to create Landmark East’s promotional videos. Jive Photographic Productions is the best digital storytellers around - they came, they saw, and they understood what the school was all about. Then, they captured the essence of the school’s mission and made it come alive. Looking for someone to give life to your story? Then look no further!”
— Karen Fougere - Head of School | Landmark East
“We (Laing House)have worked with James Ingram and the team of Jive Photographic for a number of years and each year we are delighted and so pleased with their ability to get it right every single time.

They are so easy to work with, creative, and always go above and beyond expectations. We cannot thank them enough!!”
