  • OVID have been an excellent PR partner for us as a start-up, bringing both much-needed skills and experience to the team, as well as challenge and rigour to our thinking. Their expertise and insight into both the global pharmaceutical market and the UK policy arena have been really valuable, and the quality of their writing is excellent. Contracting and delivery were tightly managed, and they delivered over and above on our original KPIs

    Piers Kotting
    CEO / RareCan

  • I was impressed by how quickly OVID got to know our business and how they helped us define our narrative as a company. Their strategic advice on messaging, the design of our IR slides, and our website was spot on, exactly what we needed to make an impression on potential investors and customers.

    Dr Lorin Gresser
    CEO / DemDX

  • OVID provides high quality strategic advice and first-class insights. During the pandemic they were able to quickly pivot and reprioritise in order to maximise our value. Their approach has been instrumental in helping us communicate the value of our work and the strength of innovation in the region.

    Neelam Patel
    CEO / MedCity

  • We really liked OVID’s approach to our brief – they hit the ground running and were strategic in their approach to internal and external stakeholders. Most crucially they delivered brilliant media coverage and really helped us to maximise our impact with the investor audience we wanted to reach.

    Sue Wixley
    Director of Marketing and Communications / Future Care Capital

  • We are a charity in our infancy but with big ambitions. OVID has been integral to our growth so far and will continue to be in the future. A totally invaluable part of the team! Couldn’t recommend their services more highly, we feel very lucky to have found them.

    Jess Mills
    Founder / ACT for Cancer

  • Amazing. I would recommend OVID to anyone. Clear, strategic, very informed advice and a pleasure to work with. OVID really did make it possible to run an impactful campaign and kept us on track, focused and without panic.

    Athena Lamnisos
