About - Ouch

Creative production agency.

Ouch! Health Ltd T/A Ouch! launched in response to the industries need for high end, engaging craft that is cost and time efficient.

Not quite an agency but more than a production house, we are interested in the intersection of the two. With decades of experience and expertise that you can plug in for a consultative approach to creative thinking at no additional cost.

How does it work?

We inspire, shape, problem-solve, and elevate storytelling by working closer and smarter with our client partners.

People and discovery, then process and delivery.

People and Discovery

Sometimes you have to explore the ask before you can define the delivery. Our discovery stage doesn't cost you any budget but it does makes the most of the creative process, and helps form relationships, trust, and good business practice at the very beginning of the roadmap to delivery. It is during this stage that we explore the needs, flesh out insights, and iterate concepts to help define a brief together.

We'll show you relevant samples and case studies, along with a boat load of creative inspiration. It's an insight into our process and above all, it's quite fun to do. An exercise in getting to the heart of what's needed. It doesn't take long to do - a meeting or two - but it gets us to the core of jobs to be done quickly and effectively.

Process and delivery

Once we've worked with you to identify the need and flesh out the idea, we develop a scope of work, detailing the creative process, production pipeline and required deliverables. That includes defining the budget, timeline and team resources.

This could be a fixed one off project, or a retainer for ongoing needs.
