Oliver Westrup
Retained Services Director
Oliver is Retained Services Director at Reach Digital, where he leads strategy across the agency’s long-term client relationships and shapes how its retained services are developed, delivered and scaled.
Having worked across hundreds of accounts in a wide range of industries, Oliver’s role is to understand how a business actually works, identify where marketing can create meaningful commercial value and bring together the right combination of SEO, content, paid media, creative, UX and web expertise to deliver it, rather than treating each channel as a separate discipline.
He joined Reach when the agency consisted of its Managing Director, a developer and Oliver himself. Since then, he has played a central role in building its retained-services model, establishing delivery frameworks, expanding the agency’s strategic and technical capabilities and helping shape the multidisciplinary team it is today.
That approach is reflected in consistent patterns across the accounts he leads: specialist businesses gaining visibility in competitive search categories, new brands turning organic search into a genuine revenue channel, and established companies evolving static websites into platforms that actively support commercial growth.
His first major marketing project involved researching, positioning and developing the employer brand of a specialist recruitment company. The resulting work was nominated for Best Employer Brand at the Recruiter Awards, before Oliver went on to lead the company’s wider rebrand.
Today, Oliver combines commercial leadership with creative and technical understanding. He gives clients clear direction, challenges assumptions where necessary and continually refines how Reach supports and delivers value for its retained accounts.
