Digital Marketing, PR and Strategy experts
My name is Dan Buckley,
Like you, I'm bombarded by a million messages a day, all vying for my limited attention.
When I was a Marketing Director, I was probably responsible for some of the ones you received.
During that time, I learnt that the most effective way to engage with our customers was to build a genuine connection with them. So we stopped talking and started listening.
We focused on understanding what their problems were, and where their opportunities lay, and we soon discovered we had a lot in common.
We started building real relationships with our customers and the business blossomed.
I started OVM to offer the service I wish someone had offered me.
Experienced from years of working inhouse at football clubs, we now work with Sports Clubs, Governing bodies and Sponsors to maximise their commercial potential. Previously we have built membership schemes, launched retail products, sold 30,000 tickets to Wembley and activated millions in sponsorships.

Working with us can bring you new opportunities, including brand partnerships, speaking opportunities and maximising investments.

We work with innovators at their earliest stage to help give them the best chance of success when they launch. We've even built our own catalyst programme, The OVM Growth Lab.
We've been working in the Health and Wellness space since 2021, helping private health facilities, MedTech and health and wellness services reach their target audiences and improve people's lives. We've launched the first purpose built allergy treatment centre in the UK, EPRs into international markets and much more.

Strategy & delivery
Working with Ocean View Marketing has been an absolute pleasure. Dan and Natalie are not only incredibly smart and strategic, but also warm, personable, and genuinely collaborative.
They took the time to get under the skin of our challenges and delivered something truly special – not just in output, but in process.
We trusted them completely – and they delivered beyond expectations. Highly recommended.

Fractional marketing
We spent 4.5 years working with Dan within an ever-changing environment that is pretty far from the norm.
The PatientSource client list was pretty bare when Dan joined; we've now grown to 16 clients in one of the hardest industries to sell within.
Dan is a commissioned service but has always been part of the team, owning and running the Marketing department as if PAYE – rolling his sleeves up for long nights when needed.

Partnership
Dan's energy, experience and expertise are clear in everything he does. Since we started working together at Medicana Health Group UK, he has consistently delivered on point and above and beyond.
His strong network of specialists only adds to the value Ocean View Marketing brings to the table.
Chris Rowland
Marketing Director, Medicana Health Group UK
Personal brand
If you're serious about your brand and where it's going, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dan. His advice and knowledge when it comes to marketing is fantastic but more importantly, he is a top guy and very trustworthy.
If you are looking to level up your brand, then Dan is your man. A brilliant guy who has a real passion for what he does – this really shines through.

Marketing strategy
From day one, Dan and Natalie knew exactly what we should be focusing on to achieve our short-term and long-term objectives.
They have gone into great detail to understand what our objectives are in various phases of our strategy. I have never seen a marketing agency spend so much time with a client to formulate a proper strategy.
They are very professional, hardworking and supportive.
