Our vision
At VCCP we pride ourselves on creating innovative and exciting advertising that transforms the fortunes of brands.
At VCCP, our challenger attitude transforms the fortunes of our clients. For example we helped T-Mobile, seen as the younger upstart in the B2B telecoms space, take on the established duopoly of At&T and Verizon. Our Business is changing. Are you with us? campaign made it clear that staying put in a world of disrupters is the risky thing to do. Within two weeks of launch it drove a 120% increase in site traffic, doubled search volume and inspired 40 high worth decision makers to reach out.
We have a motto: It only works if it all works, which is why we involve ourselves in far more than just advertising. With a thorough understanding of each client’s business, we can challenge what’s around it, and then transform it.
Of course, it’s not all about business. We love to be lauded with creative awards and are proud of our ever-increasing haul. Time and time again, we’ve seen a direct link between our award-winning work and the upturn in the fortunes of clients who ran it. So here’s another little motto: Good work works.
Our Principles
VCCP was founded on 24th January 2002 by Charles (V), Rooney (C), Adrian (C) and Ian (P). They were united by their desire to challenge the bad habits of the big global agencies they had previously worked at. So, on our very first day of business we created ten founding principles. They are our code of conduct, our contract to one another and our contract with our clients.
Be on time
Be honest
Be approachable
Be happy
Be clear
Be agile
Be lean
Be proud
Be responsible
Be unprecious
