Searching for an alternative to hiring a virtual assistant for small business? Dolphin's managed business support replaces the solo VA model with an outcome-owning team. When a single virtual assistant can no longer keep up - holidays, illness, capacity caps, constant briefing - we step in with Managed Service Provision designed to scale.
The decisive difference is institutional memory. When a solo VA leaves, your knowledge walks out with them. With Dolphin's managed system, processes, SOPs, accounts and client context live inside our team - documented, shared and retained. People may rotate, your operational memory does not. Move from task-takers to outcome-owners.
Dolphin partners with UK marketing, design and creative agencies as a white-label managed service. Stop managing a messy bank of freelancers - we provide a UK-based team that delivers under your brand, on your tools, to your standards. Account coordination, project management, design overflow, marketing execution, admin operations and new business support, all white-labelled.
Agency partnership benefit: by working with Dolphin, your agency inherits Social Value evidence for client pitches, tender responses and ESG reporting. As an award-winning UK Social Enterprise with Disability Confident, Armed Forces Covenant Silver and certified Social Enterprise UK status, partnering with us strengthens your credibility with public sector and corporate buyers.
Dolphin operates as a scalable, white-label design arm for UK marketing and PR agencies. Plug in a managed creative team that grows with your client load - no more chasing freelancers, no more inconsistent quality. Our OBMs run the studio: every artwork, deck, social asset and print piece is QA'd against your brand guidelines and delivered behind the scenes under your agency's name.
