How OVM is built

Specialists, not generalists

Dan Buckley leading an OVM client strategy workshop

Most businesses face a choice between an agency with overheads and junior account teams, or a patchwork of freelancers nobody is joining up. OVM is built differently.

We are an ecosystem of senior experts. Strategy is led by OVM, PR by Chishick Communications, and creative, content and digital delivery by Alchemy. You get people at the top of their field, working as one team, without paying for the building they sit in.

Our experience includes:

  • Repositioning brands and launching new services that drove record levels of digital engagement.
  • Guiding scale-ups through workshops that produced narratives which won investors, secured media coverage and opened new markets.
  • Helping growth-focused companies sharpen their message and win contracts in competitive sectors, including the NHS.

We also believe in education. We don't just deliver for clients, we build capability in their teams and our own.

  1. 01

    We diagnose

    Every engagement starts with strategy. We find the real problem before anyone designs, writes or posts anything.

  2. 02

    We bring in the right specialists

    PR, creative, content or digital. You get the people your challenge needs, and nobody it doesn't.

  3. 03

    You work with senior people

    One joined-up team, one strategy, and people who have done this before at the highest level.
