Our timeline
The agency started in our MD’s spare room in Greenwich back in 2010. Through the hard
work, perseverance and talent of the team who have joined us since then, and with
thanks to the great clients who have chosen us to support them, the agency has grown
to what it is today – a successful, independent marketing and content agency.

Hot off our B2B Agency of the Year (Small) win at the UK Agency Awards, we’ve now been shortlisted twice in the Best Brand Initiative (Budget under £100k) category at the B2B Marketing Awards — both for standout work, both under budget.
The first nomination is for our Look Again campaign for Electro Rent; the second, Driving Possibility, Together in the UK&I for ABM.
We’re extremely proud of both campaigns — so to be recognised with a double nomination already feels like a win. Still, fingers and toes crossed!

We’re proud to have maintained our 4.8/5 rating on Glassdoor in 2025, based on honest feedback from the team, past and present.
It reflects the culture we’ve built together, one that’s supportive, ambitious, flexible and full of great people doing great work. We never take that for granted and we’re grateful to everyone who takes the time to share their experience.

We didn’t bring home a trophy this year but we definitely didn’t leave empty-handed. A brilliant night with brilliant people, full of laughter, dancing and a fair bit of raffle success (because every win counts).
It was a chance to celebrate a big year of work with the Velo team and raise a glass to everything we’ve achieved together. Still feeling the sore feet and the smiles. Bring on next year.
