Personal Statement
Mearns & Gill is a full-service creative marketing agency local to Aberdeen but with international reach. Established in 1936, we are the longest serving agency of our kind in Scotland. The successes we have achieved in our 85+ years of service, and indeed our longevity itself, is testament to our core value of building trust with the people we work with and developing relationships that provide value.
We have a multi-skilled team with capabilities in Event Management, Digital Marketing, Advertising & PR, Brand and Website Services. We also have our own broadcast quality streaming studio which is a resource we have used to great effect in many marketing campaigns.
We have a proven track record and reputation and have been delivering seamless, high-profile events for decades; from conferences, exhibitions, award ceremonies and dinner dances through to digital and hybrid events, always going above and beyond.
Ultimately, we make sure our clients can relax and enjoy the events without having to worry about anything.

We’ve held a few events and M&G have supported and guided us expertly throughout the whole process. From initial thoughts, sourcing locations, dealing with sub-contractors, keeping us in the right lane to optimise the evening(s). Their local knowledge of venues and suppliers was brilliant. Dealing with last minute requests, changes, etc with no complaints. The whole team very polite, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. On the evening, expert liaison with the venue(s) so that we could enjoy the evening made a huge difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend M&G to colleagues, counterparts in the EA/PA network, friends and family
