About
Mass Velocity is a full-service boutique creative agency that’s been in business since 2011. Our services range from social media management, to web development, to copywriting, to print design. From small, family-owned businesses to large enterprises and public organizations, we love clients of all sizes! We work with local, provincial, and national clients in a variety of industries. We have worked in partnership with the Government of Canada, the Downtown Victoria Business Association, Essilor Canada, Transitions Lenses, and Warner Music Canada.
Mass Velocity’s story starts in 2002, when Owen and Sarah met as teens in Victoria. They nerdily bonded over a mutual love of – among other things – building websites. Eventually, they decided to git commit and get hitched. Owen spent the next decade working for a book publisher and a design agency as both a designer and web developer. At the same time, Sarah freelanced as a web designer and social media enthusiast while working as an eye care professional. After four years in Metro Vancouver, they moved back home to Victoria in 2011 for the birth of their first child. Mass Velocity Media was born shortly afterward.
Our team loves what we do and is genuinely excited to help our clients reach their goals. We like to move fast and pride ourselves on responding to our clients at lightning speed. Let’s get you moving!

Sarah Lett She/Her
Partner, Digital Marketing Strategist, Healthcare Advocate
Sarah’s first website was on GeoCities in the 90s and she’s never looked back.

She’s given talks to groups of students, entrepreneurs, and healthcare professionals on how to deploy digital strategies effectively. Sarah has completed a course on Indigenous Cultural Competency for Healthcare Workers and leads with a trauma-informed approach in both professional and personal capacities.

She has covered both national and international conferences with her social media flair and Snapchat filters. Since 2019, Sarah has served on the University of British Columbia’s Endometriosis & Pelvic Pain Laboratory Patient Research Advisory Board at BC’s Women’s Hospital Centre for Pelvic Pain & Endometriosis. This board focuses on clinical and basic science research related to endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. Sarah has participated in 14 research projects and 11 successful grants that advance research and care for endometriosis, and provided knowledge translation to the endometriosis and menstruating community.

Owen Lett He/Him
Partner, Lead Developer and Designer
Owen has been designing and building websites since the days of Netscape Navigator and <blink>, but he’ll work on just about anything – from transit maps to custom WordPress themes to signage production to transit maps to corporate graphic guidelines to transit maps. Owen has collaborated with multi-national corporations, transit agencies for three of the ten largest cities in the USA, non-profit health foundations, independent retailers, music festivals, and real estate developers. With his multidisciplinary skillset, Owen can design and produce at just about any stage of any project (but he would love it if that project was a transit map). If it hasn’t been done before, he’ll learn how to do it. If it has been done before, he’ll learn how to do it better. If a city needs a new transit map, he’ll do it right now. His skills are many, his knowledge is vast, and his puns are terrible.
