What makes us differentGreat Brands Don't Happen by Accident. They're Built by people who give a damn.
We kept seeing brilliant founders doing everything themselves at 11pm. Not because they wanted to, but because every agency they'd tried needed managing more than their actual business did.
We worked in marketing for a big D2C brand, scaling it from unknown to stocked in Harrods and featured in Vogue, so we know how it feels to be at the helm of something and have to wear every single hat.
We built the agency we wished existed - with people who walk in, get it immediately, and make it their personal mission to make your brand unmissable.

What we believe in
Belief • 01
Research comes first, every time.
We don't touch the creative until we understand the business. Your goals, your audience, your revenue gaps, your brand voice. It’s never pretty for pretty’s sake. It’s built for you.
Belief • 02
Your brand should sound like you.
This is the thing we care about most. We’re experts at it, we can blend into any tone of voice in any area, trust us - we’ve done it all. We’ve even worked for a skip company, and that was surprisingly creative and super fun.
Belief • 03
Everything we do is painless.
We come in knowing what we're doing, no lengthy onboarding, we know you don’t have time to hold anyone’s hand and our clients say we’re experts at just getting it.
Belief • 04
We’re in your corner, always.
We don't do the work and disappear. We're the people messaging you when we spot an opportunity for your brand and commenting on all your new launches. We become your biggest hype women and your most invested strategic partners, because that's just how we're wired.
Meet the founders
Holly
My career started with a pencil and ended up in your inbox. I’m illustration trained (Winchester School of Art), I've made work for Disney, Goop, Converse and Hallmark - before pivoting into marketing and co-founding Obsessd.
I'm the visual brain of the operation - the reason our work doesn't just perform well, it looks the part too. I think in colour palettes as much as conversion rates. Both are super important!
Currently obsessed with Annie Atkins' Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams and Prison Escape Maps, collage, texture, the way a good graphic prop tells a story, Snoopy, and Diet Coke.
The last two are non-negotiable.
Beth
I've spent over ten years obsessing over what makes people buy. I started out on the digital team at Now Magazine writing ad spaces and interviewing celebs. Later, I became Content Marketing Manager at CGD London, then spent a few years as a freelance consultant for some of the biggest names in the lifestyle space before building Obsessd.
I'm deeply research-led, and very much into psychographics. You won’t know how sexy a strategy deck can be until you've seen one of ours. I promise.
Currently obsessed with Ogilvy's rules for advertising, the golden era of blogging, niche chronically online references hidden inside emails, and Bob Mortimer.

Beth
I started out on the digital team at Now Magazine writing for brands and interviewing celebs. Then helped launch a global stationery brand. I’ve been in content and marketing for over ten years and I am real nerdy about emails.
Basically, I’ve got your back. I'm the person who'll ask you the questions you haven't thought to ask yourself yet. PLUS: You won’t know how sexy a strategy deck can be until you've seen one of ours. I promise.
