New Hires, Promotions and New Departments at Creative Events Company, Meet & Potato

Creative events company Meet & Potato (M&P) has today revealed its expansion plans that sees three new hires to the business and the creation of a new videography department as well as senior promotions.

With an increasing client need for visual content, M&P has hired Tom Guerrier, a videographer who has worked with all major UK broadcasters, such as the BBC and ITV.  This will enable the business to offer more than purely events to clients and facilitate ongoing content projects.

The agency has also appointed a further two new hires including Laura Williams, Event Producer and Niki Toth, Content Coordinator. The new structure of M&P has also seen Jo Prosser promoted to Creative Director from Head of Creative Experience.

Offering a dedicated videography resource will enable M&P  to create seamlessly produced events with tailored  content inline with event themes and also stand alone client brand videography. Leading this new department, Tom has over 15 years filming experience, previously holding the role of Senior Producer at Zut Media supporting clients such as Hasbro and Liverpool FC, as well as roles at the BBC, ITV and Comedy Central.

Event Producer Laura Williams has huge industry experience, most recently holding the position of Senior Conference & Event Coordinator at the prestigious Titanic Hotel in Liverpool. Laura has also worked at Vitaflo International as Global Conference & Exhibition Organiser and at AMS as Events and Marketing Coordinator.  Niki Toth has also joined M&P to bolster the creative team to support the seamless delivery of events. Having worked in events and production in Hungary, before moving to Liverpool to study, Niki will work on the creative design of projects.

Overseeing the whole creative output of M&P will be Jo Prosser as the agency’s new Creative Director. Jo has up to 30 years of global experience in the creative industry, working in production, photography, film and advertising. This collective experience made Jo the natural choice for the role that will develop the creativity at the agency.

Talking about the news, M&P Founder Jon Kelly, said: “The team at M&P are the most agile and hardworking in the business. We make producing clients’ events look effortless. However the creativity,  hard work and preparation that goes on behind the scenes is essential for success. We have bolstered our team by bringing onboard Tom to establish our inhouse videography department projects, which will maintain the overarching theme of a client’s communication campaigns. Laura’s event expertise will be a valuable asset for us to continue to produce successful events, supported by Niki who is already proving to be an essential part of our creative team. The promotion of Jo Prosser from Head of Experience to Creative Director reflects how much we appreciate Jo’s creative input and global experience. With Jo overseeing the creative process at M&P our clients really do have a best in class events team.I am very excited that our new team will be able to deliver our best events yet for our wonderful clients, both new and long term.”

Meet and Potato (M&P) create events and produce content to showcase their clients’ unique voice and vision. Whether it’s a conference, gala dinner or awards ceremony, a product launch or experiential brand roadshow, a creative presentation deck or full video production, M&P makes emotional connections between brands and their audiences with immersive experiences and stories designed to entertain, educate and inspire. The agency works across all sectors with amazing clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Poundland, Holland & Barrett, Hotel Chocolat, Beauty Bay, Dunelm, Magnet and BASF.
