MY WEEK AT VERVE – LILA MARCHANT.

Last week at Verve, we had the pleasure of welcoming a special guest to the team, Lila Marchant, who joined us for a week of work experience. Lila, in her first year of A-Levels jumped right in and got stuck into all sorts of activities, including creating our Tik Tok channel and recording a couple of videos. One of her main tasks? Writing a blog to give us all an inside look at what it’s like to spend a week at Verve. You can read all about her experience below.

Thank you, Lila, for your lovely words and great energy! Best of luck for the future!

Upon arrival, I spoke to Verve’s MD, Dom, who kindly gave me this opportunity, and he spoke to me about what Verve is and how the office day-to-day works. By this point, I could tell that this week was going to be not only productive, but also enjoyable, providing an experience of the workplace whilst also offering the chance to meet new people and learn new skills. When I spoke to the team about their roles within the company, seeing how proud and interested they were in their work was truly inspiring.   

Something that particularly impressed me at Verve was their values regarding skills outside of what their everyday work may require. For example, throughout the week I was able to sit through presentation sessions, set up by Jules, to improve colleague’s public speaking expertise whilst also presenting a topic that resonated with them. Throughout everyone’s presentations, I could clearly see the different personalities in the room and felt as though everyone understood one another slightly better than before, whilst also benefitting from new skills which would help them in the future. 

From start to finish, my time at Verve has been brilliant. I’m especially grateful for the support of Liv, Verve’s copywriter, whose creativity and kindness made each day even more enjoyable, and to Dom and Paul, whose thoughtfulness and organisation made the whole experience feel so smooth and meaningful. 

Thank you for such a memorable week, I’ve learnt so much and truly loved every moment.“

Enjoy the read? Well, we thought we’d introduce you to who’s behind it all.  

Verve is a health communications agency with the belief that great scientific communication doesn’t just inform – it connects, inspires, and drives action. Science is more than just clinical data and research papers; it’s also about the people it impacts and the ideas that shape the world around us. 

Our philosophy at Verve, Science, humanised, brings together the precision of science and the power of human connection. We blend data with empathy, translating complexity into communication that resonates. Whether we’re creating compelling healthcare narratives, simplifying scientific breakthroughs, or engaging audiences with thoughtful storytelling, our mission is the same: to bridge the gap between knowledge and understanding. 

Because when science is understood, it becomes more than knowledge, it becomes meaningful. We don’t just convey facts; we create experiences that make science accessible, relevant, and engaging. Our approach ensures that every story is rooted in accuracy but delivered with emotion, inspiring people to take action. 

In a world where science is more important than ever, clear and impactful communication is key. Let’s make science something individuals don’t just read about-but truly connect with. 

Thanks for reading! Stay curious, stay connected – We give you Verve.
