Keri Mercer

Associate Director | Union Connect

Having started working life in the hustle and bustle of London, delivering diverse campaigns, events and activity for third-sector heavyweights like Barnardo’s, Anthony Nolan, Blood Cancer UK, and Alzheimer’s Society, I found myself yearning for a new adventure. 400 miles further north. Following a rigorous interrogation – or what some might call a job interview – I landed a role at Union Connect, delivering partnerships, experiential and PR for new and established brands. I am now Associate Director, working with an impressive array of clients that includes Zero Waste Scotland, schuh, Heineken, The Scottish Government, IOLLA and Food Standards Scotland. 

I thrive on project management, problem solving and working with talented people with boundless energy and enthusiasm. Plus, I get to work in a captivating yet eerie old church nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. 

While it may sound clichéd, each day presents new challenges and opportunities. Even though I have overseen activations at music festivals and conducted product sampling in train stations, I still can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds.
