Testimonial


"[Meerkat Media] helped to shine a light on the “why” behind the “what we do” through high-quality, character-driven storytelling. Meerkat’s work products, and their collaborative style from pre- to post-production, exude warmth and a keen understanding of social justice landscapes in front of and behind the camera. That’s a priority for us. [They also] pushed us to think outside our own box when it comes to how best to convey our message."
