How we work

A process built for speed and proof.

Four weeks from kickoff to live campaigns. We earn trust with early wins, then scale what works.

Week 1

Diagnose

Market, audience and competitor research. We audit everything you've run and find the leverage points.

Week 2

Position

Strategy sprint: positioning, messaging and channel plan, pressure-tested with real customer interviews.

Weeks 3–4

Launch

Creative production and campaign build. First campaigns live within a month, instrumented end to end.

Ongoing

Compound

Weekly experimentation cycles, monthly board-ready reporting, quarterly strategy reviews. We scale winners.

The agency

Fifteen people. Three hubs. One P&L obsession: yours.

Founded in 2017, Meridian & Bold was built on a simple bet — that a small, senior, genuinely international team beats a big-agency org chart every time. No account layers. No junior swap-outs after the pitch. Just fifteen specialists who have shipped work in twenty-six markets.

We work in English, German, Hungarian, French, Spanish and Japanese natively, and we've run campaigns in twenty more languages with our vetted localisation network.

What clients say

Don't take our word for it.

"

They're the first agency where the strategy deck actually matched what the media team executed. Pipeline is up threefold and the board finally understands our marketing spend.

Katrin HoffmannCMO, Helvion
"

Eleven markets, eight languages, one team of fifteen. They out-delivered the network agency we replaced — at two thirds of the fee and twice the speed.

Sten KaarmaVP Marketing, Nordwind Air
"

The SEO engine they built is now our single largest revenue channel. They think like operators, not vendors — I'd hire any one of them tomorrow.
