Jive PR + Digital Accelerates Growth with New Clients Across CPG and Immersive Experiences

Jive PR + Digital

Jive PR + Digital, an award-winning public relations and digital marketing agency with a 15-year track record of growing iconic brands, proudly announces new client accounts and multiple culture-driving campaigns. Fueling this growth is Jive’s unique approach to combining storytelling with Performance PR, cultural relevancy and digital authority. The Jive Effect Traditional PR and storytelling remain essential, but the landscape is evolving fast. Jive PR + Digital leads this evolution with Performance PR—blending proven storytelling with data-driven insights, SEO, and AI-powered search to deliver measurable visibility, engagement, and conversions. Additionally, when it comes to social media and influencer marketing, most brands struggle to connect because their content lacks cultural relevance. Jive uses advanced tools and algorithms to spot emerging trends and conversations early, ensuring every campaign is timely, authentic, and resonant. This “Jive Effect” approach drives real business results: building obsessed communities, increasing sales, and strengthening both brand equity and digital authority. New Clients Recent signings include Benestar Brands’ Mac’s Pork Rinds (Influencer Marketing), a high-growth CPG brand with a loyal fan base and strong retail footprint. Other new clients include Splitsville (Performance PR and Influencers), a leading entertainment brand; Herbal Magic (Organic Social Media and UGC), a legacy wellness company focused on health and nutrition; and a jewelry ecommerce brand; Caitlyn Minimalist (Organic Social Media, UGC, and Influencers). The new partnerships align with Jive’s focus on integrated campaigns that increase revenue, drive AI Search, SEO, and shape culture. “Our latest client additions reflect what we’re seeing across the industry: demand for storytelling that fuels discovery and drives search,” said Lindsay Nahmiache, co-founder and CEO of Jive PR + Digital. “Whether it’s a heritage brand looking to reconnect with audiences or an experiential brand tapping into current cultural moments. We’re excited to amplify their stories and drive impactful conversations.” Key Achievements Jive PR + Digital secured over 200 media placements for the Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University’s grand opening, including The New York Times, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, NBC, and a front-page feature in USA Today. The museum was also mentioned on Late Night with Seth Meyers and the Joe Rogan podcast. Activate’s Austin launch with Jive PR + Digital achieved a 640% ROI on their influencer campaign. Through strategic partnership selection and whitelisting, Jive amplified performance, aligning every move with business goals and delivering clear, measurable results. Jive PR + Digital’s campaign for Mac’s Pork Rinds is lifting brand recall across the Southwest and driving measurable sales growth. By encouraging consumers to get creative with pork rinds in recipes—not just as a snack—Jive is fueling in-store purchases, sparking viral moments, and building a passionate community, especially among keto and low-carb enthusiasts. These results show why marketing teams need to level up with Performance PR, cultural relevance, and digital authority if they want to move the needle. It’s about ensuring that every piece of coverage, campaign, and story works harder—not just to generate awareness but to drive measurable results across the full funnel.

Comcast to Connect 70,000 Homes and Businesses in Bryan-College Station to Reliable, Fiber Internet

Comcast Texas

Comcast will connect 70,000 new homes and businesses in Bryan-College Station to fast, secure and reliable, fiber Internet. This expansion into the region will enhance digital infrastructure, promote economic growth and position residents and local businesses for success in an increasingly digital world. The multi-year network expansion brings Xfinity and Comcast Business Internet, mobile, entertainment and security services to the two cities for the first time. The multiphase project includes building a new technology hub that will act as “the brain” of the network, supporting all Xfinity and Comcast Business services. Comcast will also install more than 1,000 miles of fiber lines – enough to span the distance from the Brazos Valley to Universal Studios in Florida. The tech leader also plans to open an interactive Xfinity retail store, which will be announced later. "Bryan-College Station is a hotbed for innovative technology, and this investment by Comcast will help our region stay competitive,” College Station Mayor John Nichols said. “Reliable broadband access is essential for our growing community, from the tens of thousands of Aggie students who call College Station home to our creative business community. Investing in strong connectivity ensures everyone has the advanced resources they need to thrive in a digital world." “We are grateful that Comcast is making this multimillion-dollar fiber infrastructure investment in our community,” City of Bryan Mayor Bobby Guiterrez said. “This investment in connectivity strengthens our local economy and helps our residents thrive. Expanding reliable high-speed Internet in Bryan will open doors for students, businesses and families. It will enhance opportunities and improve quality of life.” Residents can visit ComcastTexas.com/BCS for additional details on construction expectations and upcoming service availability. Portions of the project are currently under construction. Comcast’s most recent expansion to Bryan-College Station is part of the company’s $1.6 billion investment in technology and infrastructure in Texas over the last three years. “Expanding fiber Internet in communities like Bryan-College Station will be a catalyst for economic growth, enhancing educational opportunities and helping residents and businesses have the tools they need to thrive in the digital age,” Nicolas Jimenez, Comcast’s General Market Manager of Bryan-College Station said. “By investing in the infrastructure and connectivity of these communities, we’re empowering individuals and businesses to succeed and pave the way for a brighter, more connected future." A Network You Can Trust to be Reliable, Fast and Secure Comcast’s state-of-the-art network is built to enable residents and businesses to thrive in today’s constantly connected world. Bryan-College Station joins the 64 million homes and businesses across the country to have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders, and federal agencies like the Department of Defense. It delivers multi-gigabit Internet speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and security built in from the ground up to keep customers safe from cyber threats. Introducing Xfinity to Consumers Comcast’s residential services are marketed under the Xfinity brand. Consumers in Bryan-College Station will be able to take advantage of the full suite of Xfinity products: Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security. Xfinity offers multi-gigabit Internet speeds, powerful WiFi that reaches every corner of the home, and super-responsive, low-lag connections.
