Bio
Carla Targa
I had the pleasure of working with Merrick and I can only say that I found myself in front of a great professional, competent, helpful, kind person and the work he carried out was beyond my expectations.
Anthony Parnell
I worked with Merrick for around 6 months. We were part of a small project team tasked with setting up a retail bank for Cattles and worked together to plan, develop and implement all of the Marketing elements that were required. Most of this was real fundamental stuff - e.g. what do we call the business, what does the brand look like, what products should we offer and with what proposition, building a website, how do we launch etc - and all required on very short deadlines. Along with some good people that worked with us from several agencies I think we made an excellent team. Merrick was a great person to work with and could be relied upon to produce good quality work with very little supervision. He is a good and well rounded marketeer who is quick on the uptake and knowledgeable about his subject. In particular, he had a great eye for creative detail in terms of what works and what doesn't and also for things related to copy as well. He is prepared to question things, has an easy manner, and works well in a team situation both internally and with colleagues from agencies. He was very well liked and respected by us all.
