Our story
No magic bullets, just real-world work that delivers
Rachel started out in marketing helping to set up a hip-hop record label while still at university, and got its white-label records played on Radio One. Jamie built his career across public, private and not-for-profit organisations, with deep experience in health and engineering. Together they set up Morph in 2008 and have grown it into a full-service agency: strategy, creative and technical work under one roof.
Senior-led. A director leads every account, start to finish.
Public service in our background. We have worked in it, not just for it.
We build as well as market. Websites, CRM and data, done in-house.
Honest about limits. We tell you what will work, and what will not.

Led by the directors. Delivered by a team that has worked together for years
Rachel O'Reilly
Director · Chartered Marketer · BA (Hons), PG Dip, FCIM
Rachel mentors business owners and improves systems and processes at low cost. Her mentoring won the Small Business Mentor Award at the Small Business Awards 2025.
“Her patience, humour, and deep understanding of creative minds made every session not just useful but genuinely enjoyable.”
Kim Batterbury, mentee
Jamie O'Reilly
Director · Chartered Marketer · MBA, FCIM
Jamie leads strategy, business development and technical delivery, from market validation to CRM systems. He spent ten years as a Citizens Advice trustee.
“Jamie and Rachel at Morph PR were both super to work with and supported Herstmonceux Castle Estate and Bader College during a period of transition. They were always very pleasant and dependable, and their excellent work developing and creating the new brand for the estate was especially significant, helping to usher in a new identity for the next chapter.”

We have taken on apprentices in the past and can add capacity quickly when a contract needs it.
Before Morph, we worked in the public sector on tackling domestic abuse, drug dealing, crime and antisocial behaviour. We still give our time to the community, because that is where our values came from.
Why Morph
Five reasons clients bring us in
01
We help you work out what to do next, then we do it
We start with the evidence and end with something delivered, whether you are a business owner choosing where to focus or an organisation testing a new market.
Proof: market validation for the University of Portsmouth; commercial analysis for the Library of Birmingham review.
02
Senior-led, with a team that scales
A director leads every account. Behind them is a core team of seven, most of whom have worked with us for ten years or more, and we add capacity when a contract needs it.
Proof: two Chartered Marketers and Fellows of the CIM; developers with us since 2010 and 2016.
03
Creative, with a reason behind it
Ideas, design and content that start from understanding the problem, so the work looks right and does a job.
Proof: the Herstmonceux Castle Estate rebrand; a brochure, presentation pack and brand refresh for Portsmouth Aviation in under ten days.
04
Technical depth most marketing agencies don't have
We build as well as market: scores of high-functioning websites over the years, plus CRM systems, client dashboards, microsites and new tools. So our strategy and creative work starts from what is now possible.
Proof: ten years of CiviCRM for Maths Hubs; around 40 sites hosted and maintained; AI-built Client Information Hubs.
05
Public service is in our background
We know how publicly funded organisations work because we have worked in and alongside them, and we still give our time to the community.
Proof: marketing for Energise Me; ten years as a Citizens Advice trustee; universities, schools and Maths Hubs.
