# VCM - Virtual Campaign Management

> VCM (Virtual Campaign Management Ltd) is an independent UK media agency founded in 2014. We specialise in late-space media buying across press, TV, radio, digital, social and out-of-home advertising, securing below-rate-card pricing for clients in the UK, Europe and the USA.

VCM is led by Managing Director James Ferrin and operates a virtual-office model: no central-London overhead, senior-level attention on every account, and long-standing relationships with media owners that translate into deep discounts. We work on a commission basis for traditional media buying and a day-rate basis for digital campaign management. The agency has particular depth in direct-response advertising and in specialist sectors including fine-art auction houses and local and regional businesses.
