Simon Meakin
Managing Director
Simon has over thirty years experience in the advertising industry. He began his career working for major London agencies where he learnt his trade working on Proctor & Gamble, Central Office of Information, Cadbury Schweppes, Levi Straus, Martini, and Carling to name just a few. Wishing to develop a more holistic approach to marketing communications Simon moved to Watts Lord Advertising during the mid 1980‘'s, before developing his creative skills at AJD. He set up LMC in January 1993. Over the years he has developed a multitude of FMCG and B2B campaigns using every component of the marketing mix available.
‘Changes in the media market and the arrival of new technology makes now the most exciting time to be involved in this industry’
When he is not working Simon enjoys chasing a ball around, walking and snoozing in front of the fire. He has been married to Claire for 25 years and has two sons and a dog.
Caroline Ferguson
Creative Director
With over ten years experience in the communication industry, Caroline is now responsible for ensuring the creative quality of all the design work at LMC.
After graduating in Psychology, Caroline went on to study at the Oxford Media & Business School where she gained CIM qualifications in Design, Marketing, Advertising and PR. She subsequently did a stint in PR gaining valuable experience on accounts including Bliss, Flemish Tapestries and Fox FM.
Caroline joined LMC in 1998 as an Account Executive but was soon able to utilize her creative flair and design training by bossing everyone around in the studio!
Whilst at LMC Caroline has enjoyed working on a wide variety of brands including Zirtek, Filippo Berio, Cadbury Trebor Bassett, Rombouts and many more.
Outside of work Caroline enjoys eating and generally thinking about food, fancying herself to be a bit of a budding “Nigella’. She also gets quite animated about football, gardening and her recent wedding in Tuscany.
Caroline would like to point out that she is not in fact a dog.
Gemma Frost
Designer
Gemma is the newest pup in the LMC team, since joining in May 2010.
Having graduated with a degree in Graphic Design back in 2004, Gemma has been fortunate enough to utilise her design skills on a range of different projects. Previous experiences include work with L'Oréal, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Kelloggs, Nestlé and Pepsico UK.
The impressive variety of clients at LMC means there are always plenty of exciting projects for Gemma to get stuck into... whether it's designing Taxi's to Teatowels, Recipe Books to Phone Boxes - there is never a dull moment.
LMC is committed to giving their clients the best creative strategy possible - making it an absolutely ideal environment for a designer.
Gemma lives with her partner Will, near Reading. Her free time is spent socialising with friends and family or at yoga class... which must be why she can remain so calm in the face of impending deadlines.
