Our Story

Our name is a playful twist on 'Other Half', reflecting our commitment to being the reliable marketing partner that you can count on. Why the otter, you might ask? Well, we see ourselves as playful, carefree, and just as fun-loving as the cute aquatic mammal. But don't worry, we won't be raiding your koi pond any time soon!

Our team was brought together through tough times. Three of us were made redundant at the height of a tech layoff. However, we turned that experience into a positive one by founding OtterHalf, a marketing consulting firm that helps tech companies grow sustainably with creativity and kickass execution, even with today’s limited budgets.
