On Friday 7th November, the MEERKATs are holding a special knees-up to celebrate a milestone birthday and 20 years under our pelts.
Two decades of standing up and standing out as an award-winning, female-founded, female-run media agency. An expert team offering independent media planning and buying, based on our values of integrity, agility, creativity, collaboration and attention to detail… all served up with a healthy dollop of our famous MEERKAT spirit and joie-de-vivre.
It’s been an incredible voyage of discovery and growth since that day in 2005 when MEERKATworks’ founder Heidi Carroll started MEERKATworks from her bedroom in Brighton. Beginning with out-of-home (OOH), radio and print advertising for retailers ‘High and Mighty’ and (auspiciously) a TV campaign on Nickelodeon for ‘I Love My JCB’, Heidi and the MEERKAT team have ‘dug deep’ and built expertise right across the evolving media landscape. We now provide a multi-platform, holistic service for businesses large and small, across all traditional and digital channels from programmatic, to print, to podcasts.
We’ve overcome challenges, celebrated successes and fought off more than a few scorpions. But we’ve come through and now stand tall as a band of bold, brilliant, badass (when you need us to fight your corner) media experts working from our Edinburgh and Brighton burrows and across the UK.
Here’s to 20 years, to all those who we’ve worked alongside over the last 2 decades and to a bright, bold, big-hearted future!
To mark this special occasion, we have been reminiscing about the many hundreds of advertising campaigns we have planned and bought over the years. Take a look at some of the most eye-catching in our ‘Throwback Thursday’ highlights on Instagram.
