Celebrating six years of Cosy Meerkat!

As we celebrate six years of Cosy Meerkat, it seems a perfect moment to reflect on the highs and lows of the journey we’ve embarked on. There have been mighty highs and mighty lows from the get-go and I am super grateful to now have a thriving business, helping my team pay their mortgages and working with a talented network of freelancers who I hope feel part of our team too.  

The early days

When I first started Cosy Meerkat, my vision was clear: to transform internal communications by creating strategies that encourage engagement, transparency, and a sense of community within organisations, allowing employees to bring the best of themselves to their work, every day. My vision was to keep overheads down and create niche teams for the job in hand. 

And we’ve done that. 

Milestones and achievements

Over the past six years, we’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, each with unique needs and challenges, many of whom are continuing their work with us today. Here are some of the milestones and achievements that stand out:

Building strong client relationships

Our success is deeply rooted in the relationships we’ve built with our clients. We’ve partnered with companies across various industries, helping them streamline their communication processes and engage their employees more effectively. Our personalised approach ensures that each client receives tailored solutions that align with their specific goals and culture.

Innovative solutions and strategies

At Cosy Meerkat, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We’ve introduced cutting-edge tools and strategies that have revolutionised internal communications. From interactive digital newsletters to employee engagement platforms, our solutions have empowered organisations to communicate more efficiently and creatively.

Empowering employee voices

One of our proudest achievements is creating platforms that amplify employee voices. We’ve helped businesses implement feedback systems, virtual town halls, and collaborative projects that give employees a sense of ownership and inclusion. By fostering an environment where everyone’s voice is heard, we’ve contributed to building stronger, more cohesive teams.

Overcoming challenges together

The past few years have presented unprecedented challenges, particularly with the global pandemic reshaping the way we work. Throughout this period, we’ve helped our clients adapt to remote work environments and maintain clear, effective communication. 

Looking to the next six years

Our growth in the last couple of years has been brilliant and we plan to continue that trajectory, whilst keeping our costs down, meaning we can keep costs low for our clients. Internal comms is a fast moving world and we’re wanting to lead the pack. We’re currently working with data scientists to explore new technology for surveys and audits. We are committed to staying ahead of the curve. Here’s a glimpse of what’s on the horizon:

Continued innovation

We will continue to explore new technologies and methodologies to enhance our offerings. Our focus will be on creating even more immersive and engaging communication experiences for our clients. 

Expanding our reach

We aim to extend our services to new markets and industries, bringing our expertise to a broader audience. By doing so, we hope to make a positive impact on even more organisations.

Sustainability and social responsibility

We will look at ways we can give back to the community and launch initiatives focused on sustainability and social responsibility - we’ve just started planting trees for every new job we get in and new subscriber we get to our mailing list. In that way, we’ll be aligning our business practices with our own values. Lots of work to do here, but watch this space! 

None of the last six years would have been possible without the support of our clients, partners, and our brilliant team. It seems to be growing every month in terms of our client base and our team, and I’m excited to see what the next six years will bring. 

Here’s to many more years of innovation, growth, and shared success. Join us as we continue to create simple communications for a great employee experience.
