What Ocean City Media does

Ocean City Media Ltd is a UK-registered (company no. 13014936) communications and video production agency headquartered in Plymouth, with additional regional presence across Devon, Cornwall, London, Kent, and Newcastle. The firm was founded by former BBC journalists and media professionals and operates with a core team of seven plus three apprentices, delivering video production, communications strategy, PR support, campaign delivery, training programmes, and (from 2025) social media management services to UK public-sector, healthcare, education, and nonprofit clients.

Its service portfolio combines project-based creative production with communications advisory work and recurring social media retainers. Technical production is supported by AI-assisted audio post-production tooling for sound smoothing, filler-word removal, and voice cloning, applied within standard video editing workflows rather than as proprietary technology. The firm also delivers accredited training programmes in partnership with the Devon, Plymouth and Torbay Careers Hub, providing an additional channel into schools and regional government.

The business model is services-led and direct: engagements are sold to named clients such as Plymouth City Council, Kent County Council, NHS Devon CCG, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, Compass Academy, Real Ideas Organisation, BASICS Devon, Campaign for National Parks, and Housing Quality Network. Go-to-market is primarily referral-driven and reputation-led, supported by a 'Digital Business of the Year' award and a 2022 '30 Under 30' recognition for co-founder Chris Quevatre. No external funding, revenue, or headcount growth disclosure has been made.
