Made in Sussex: O&G

Having just celebrated its 40th anniversary, Hove-based creative marketing agency O&G can’t wait to continue to develop the business with a new decade dawning. 

Established as a graphic design studio on Church Road, Hove in August 1979 (by David Graimes, father of the current joint managing directors, Gavin and Gareth), the agency has made many changes along the way and continues to embrace technology, innovation, and the latest digital trends to stay ahead of the curve. But they also stay true to their family values and deliver great customer service to their commercial partners. The agency is also very active supporting local charities, particularly Chestnut Tree House, Rockinghorse Children’s Charity and Chailey Heritage. 

“There aren’t many agencies here which can boast 40 years in business,” says Gavin Graimes. “We’ve worked with some fantastic clients over the years, including a variety of well-known household names like Kuoni, Dove, Brighton & Hove Albion FC, and the Royal Horticultural Society, and have always been forward-thinking as a business. We started as a small creative advertising and design agency, embraced new technology and innovation, and we’re now at the forefront of the region’s advertising, digital, and branding sector. 

Trends continue to evolve and change, but the future is bright as O&G bring new services to their impressive client list in 2020. All of which is built around their ethos ‘Create to Convert’.

Create to Convert means inspiring people not just to connect with your offer but to respond in a way that achieves the outcomes you want. We can get more people engaging with your products and services. We can change the way people think and talk about you. We can open new markets and channels. And best of all, we can measure it, track it and prove it, giving you peace of mind and ROI. 

Gavin added, times have changed, and we all want to know how best to spend our marketing budget and make sure we see a real return on investment. ‘Create to Convert’ makes this happen, and we can give you a real-time understanding of the expected return on your spend. 

In addition to the O&G creative marketing offering, they also acquired respected Brighton and London branding agency VGROUP back in January 2018. Giving their clients access to a very experienced team of branding specialists able to offer a full brand critique and review.  

Having just completed the design of the latest ultra modern electric buses for Brighton & Hove Buses, developed a new e-commerce website for Harvey’s Brewery, signed a new two-year creative marketing partnership with Brighton & Hove Albion and a five-year creative marketing partnership with Sussex County Cricket Club – Things are looking good for the next 40 years. 

If you’re thinking about a creative marketing campaign in the New Year, it might worth giving O&G a call and ask them to show how they can ‘Create to Convert’ for your business in 2020.
