WHO WE ARE:
TELLING your STORY THROUGH CREATIVITY

In the past we sat around a campfire and exchanged stories. Today we seek to build that same sense of community with businesses and organisations to tell their stories to the people around them

digitally and in press. Since we started in 2021, we’ve helped passionate people build community around their brands to help them tell their stories through design. We offer brand identity, web design, social media management, SEO strategy and videography. All this gives you the tools to tell your story.

This year we want to work with even more organisations across Scotland, from SME STEM companies to charities, churches, tourism brands and independent food & drink businesses who believe great stories build great communities.

Why We do it

Ocho

what does our name mean?

Branding & Marketing, and arguably advertising, is the art of story telling the modern age. A few years ago we dug deep into the question; "How do we tell the stories of organisations and businesses that we love"

We saw so many people with something to share with the world wether it was a product, a service or an idea. And at the same time, we saw them struggle to get their idea out there...

We came across "The Hero's Journey" A litterary framework first coined by Joseph Campbell. Wether you're Luke Skywalker or Rocky Balboa, you'll see this pattern running through every story.
The amazing thing we noticed is that you can also use this frame work in creating and communicating your brand to share it with your audience. It was from here that we created a framework of our own (Our 8 Chapters) which reflect the 8 major beats in the Hero's Journey.

Ocho is 8 is Spanish. And well, that's the story.

Listen

The First step is always to Listen. Before we jump into any project we ensure that we take the time to understand your organisation and the problem you want to solve.

Define

How do we know we understood? Simple - we repeat it back to you. We'll present your project to you with a proposal that covers everything we've discussed - and then we work to that.

Explore

We'll explore ideas, from trending ideas to tried and tested methods and put together an idea for how to move forward. We'll then present this to you.

Implement

This is where ideas become reality. We'll take everything we've discussed and make it a reality!

Refine

Things never stay the same for long. There are always updates or new innovations. So we are always coming back to stuff we've done and asking if it can be improved. When we think it can, we'll make a case and present it to you.

Analyse

Everything we do is backed up. Wether its getting a sense check from your team or pulling together analytics, we'll make sure we're always on track to where we want to be.

Evaluate

Analysis is nothing if we dont make decisions from what it says. We'll always let you know if and when things change. If its a better option we'll propose it to you!

Reach

With all this we reach your goal. Wether its where we set out to be or its a new horizon, we'll be by your side to help you reach your goal. And then its right beack to the next goal!

Our Network

No Man is an island

Over the years we've built a strong network of incredible people so if there is anything we can't do in house or need a specialist - we know who to call.

What Our CLients Say

The Ocho team have been part of Aurora’s journey from the very beginning – from creating our brand and developing our website to providing ongoing creative and strategic support as the business has grown.

They genuinely feel like an extension of our team. They understand our business, offer valuable insight and, importantly, have the agility to keep pace with the rate at which Aurora moves and evolves.

What sets Ocho apart is the personal approach. You’re not just another client or project; they take the time to understand what you’re trying to achieve and always put the interests of the business first. If you’re looking for an agency that feels more like a trusted partner, I’d highly recommend them.

Sinead McIntosh

Marketing Director for Aurora Energy Services

"We’ve worked with Ocho for years and they’ve been a huge help with our website, social media, and advertising.

They’re a great team—creative, reliable, and always spot on with what they deliver."

Iain McBirnie

STONECRAFT DIRECTOR

"The team have been brilliant to work with. Couldn’t recommend them more for anyone needing a revamp of their marketing material.

For a small company like ours it’s been an actual godsend as it’s so easy to let that side of things fall by the wayside when things get busy."

Sebastian Varney

FIBRECAST DIRECTOR

"We truly enjoyed working with OCHO on this project. I am amazed at how they brought all our discussions together, and how much is communicated in a design that remains clean, crisp and professional.  

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others."
