OUR TEAM
Hi! I'm Jade Scherr
and I founded this great place.
I am the CEO and founder of HexaHive. On any given day you can find me getting involved in the community, guiding the Hive, strategizing and leading projects, and more!
What is your guilty pleasure?
Coffee (always). Sneaking in short walks between meetings like it’s a sport. And spending far too much time browsing the new arrivals at Plant Perfect, convincing myself that yes, I do need one more plant.
How much coffee do you drink per day?
1-2 pots. Brewed with love. I tell myself that it’s healthy since I mix it with a protein shake — don’t judge.
Favorite book?
The Pumpkin Plan. It completely changed how I approach growth—for my business, my team, and even how I prioritize time.
But honestly? Ask me next week and I’ll have three more. Reading 1–3 books a week has been one of the most transformative habits I’ve built as a founder. So if you ever need a recommendation, I’ve got plenty.
Where It All Began
I found my love for the design industry at Bismarck State College, where I received my Associate’s in Graphic Design and Communications, graduating as their Outstanding Student of the Year. I noticed that a lot of designers struggled to connect their work back to the goals that their designs were trying to support, so I expanded my education to include a Bachelor’s degree that would help me excel at this – marketing.
I quickly grew to love and value the connection between marketing and design, and I looked to embed this into all of my experiences leading up to HexaHive. I’ve held roles that have touched on every aspect of what we do here, from strategy to photography, branding and graphic design, consulting and more. Through all of this, I recognized that there was a need for a different kind of agency, one that hyper-focused on helping businesses succeed through strategic marketing. Now, I’m lucky to have a talented team that helps businesses do exactly that.
Through all of this, I recognized a gap: businesses didn’t just need more marketing—they needed the right marketing, grounded in strategy and aligned with their goals. That’s what inspired me to build HexaHive.
Today, I get to lead a team that brings that vision to life—helping businesses grow with clarity, creativity, and strategy that actually moves the needle.
My Motivation
The office may be my second home, but my true home is with my husband, Tyler, and my three kids – Emery, Dawson, and Jameson.
They (along with coffee) motivate me to be better and grow more every day, and I’m lucky to have such a supportive family. That motivation has allowed me to accomplish things like…
Being named Woman-Owned Business of the Year
Getting awarded the Better Business Bureau’s Spark Award for Entrepreneurship
Being named 20 under 40 in Bismarck-Mandan
Graduating from Leadership ND, a sought-after leadership program with select leaders across North Dakota
Being a Top-10 Employer for Young Professionals in Bismarck-Mandan
Whether it’s my personal or professional life, I’m determined and passionate about growth, change, and purpose.
In my free-time, you can find me with a latte in my hand listening to a great audiobook, bow hunting, trying a new recipe on the Traeger, relaxing at Lake Isabel, or playing volleyball.
Rooted in Community
I’m a big believer that everyone has the ability to make an impact—and that we don’t have to wait for the “perfect” moment to start. I’m grateful to contribute in ways that align with the things I care most about.
While my LinkedIn probably shares more than you ever wanted to know, here’s where I spend most of my time when it comes to community involvement:
- Investing in the next generation: through advisory roles with local schools and colleges, and showing up as a coach for kids’ sports.
- Elevating the marketing industry: building community through my weekly newsletter, engaging and volunteering with groups like IABC, and more.
- Championing business growth: whether it’s through the Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC’s local issues committee, serving on the Greater North Dakota Chamber’s board, or Marathon Petroleum Community Advisory Panel.
- Shaping what’s next: helping guide big-picture decisions that build a better tomorrow for us all, like with my involvement on the City of Bismarck’s Vision Fund Committee.
