Digital Marketing, PR and Strategy experts

My name is Dan Buckley,

In 2020 I launched OVM because I noticed a flaw in traditional marketing support. Agencies sold campaigns to businesses, when really what they needed was strategy, guidance and education.

Marketing is the art of growing relationships. And how do humans build relationships? By sharing stories.

When you feel like you aren't being understood or noticed, you are either not talking to the right people, or your story isn't connecting.

With the support of my trusted partners, we set out to help our clients grow by connecting them to stakeholders through marketing, storytelling and brand building. 

And our clients see the immediate results, it's why they keep coming back. So welcome, and hopefully we get the chance to help you too.

And why are you here?

Whats holding you back from success? 

The truth is, whether you know the reason or not, all you actually care about is fixing the problem. 

If you feel like your business is stagnating, it's probably because you aren't connecting with the right people. And when you are, your messaging is falling flat.

What you need is: 

• A diagnosis or evaluation of the problem
• An understanding of how to fix the issues
• A strategy to guide the resolution
• Assistance delivering the solution

What your business is experiencing is unique, there is no silver bullet or hack that can help, no shortcuts.

We work with our clients the same way a physio works with an injured sports star. We help you understand the root problem, strategise how to rehab you back to your best, and then execute a plan that gets you results.

Here are some common problems clients come to us to fix:

• Who should we be talking to? 
• Where are our target audience?
• How do we explain what we do? 
• Why is our conversion rate so low?
• We are spending money on sponsorships, but it isn't doing anything?
• Is this product really suitable for market?
• What we stand for?

Let's get you to where you need to be as quickly as possible.

To do that, we need to treat you differently to the rest, because your circumnstances are unique. 

We'll work with you to build a bespoke resolution that gives you what you need ASAP. 

That might come as:

• A one-off workshop 
• A short development sprint
• A ringfenced project or campaign
• An ongoing retainer
• A temporary CMO
• Access to our Growth Lab programme

Unlike other agencies who will pitch a retainer to you after the first meeting, we take our time to find you a bespoke solution, that will get you better results, quicker.

Who are the people behind OVM?

Between the OVM network, we have accumulated decades of experience across multiple sectors including Health, Sport and Wellness.

For each client, we hand pick the right expert with the appropriate experience, and bring them onboard to ensure each client is getting the specific support they need. Just like specialist consultants in a hospital.

Our experience has ranged from global MedTech solutions, emerging health innovators, Governmental organisations, Premier League football clubs and national and international sporting bodies.

Our shared experience means there isn't a challenge we haven't seen before, and our battle scars speak for themselves!

From selling 35,000 tickets in four weeks and activating £7m of sponsorship to generating £3m worth of revenue through relationship marketing, we've got the team to help. 

Don't just take our word for it, we've helped countless businesses gain clarity and grow.

Spanning multiple sectors and at various points in their journey, they all had one thing in common. 

They were stuck and needed a trust hand to guide them through the quagmire. 

Take a look for yourself.
