Innermedia strengthens brand and design capability with Mercer acquisition
Innermedia, a fully in-house digital agency offering an open, consultative approach to help clients across the world create successful digital strategies, has strengthened its brand and design capability through the acquisition of Mercer, a highly respected design and brand agency with more than 25 years’ experience working with both schools and commercial clients.
The acquisition combines Mercer’s expertise in brand positioning, messaging and insight-led research with Innermedia’s AI-driven digital creative capability, transforming how we plan, create and deliver websites, digital marketing, video, aftercare and global user experiences.
The move reflects the changing needs of our clients, where clear brand identity and digital experience are increasingly important alongside performance, compliance, and long-term technical support.
Chris Knight, CEO of Innermedia, said:
“Bringing Mercer into the group is a considered step and together, we combine strategic brand insight with powerful digital delivery to boost visibility, streamline marketing, and help your brand truly take off.”
Mercer has built a strong reputation within the education sector for their work in brand strategy and insight-led design, helping schools articulate their values clearly and consistently. By integrating this expertise within Innermedia, our clients can benefit from a more joined-up approach, with brand thinking and digital delivery working together from the outset.
Andrew Mercer, Managing Director of Mercer noted:
“This partnership represents a significant step forward in what we can offer you. By combining forces, we are bringing together two powerhouses of industry experience. Inner Media’s excellent 20+ years of digital expertise will dovetail brilliantly with the 20+ years of brand and design experience you have come to expect from Mercer Design.“
Mercer is now part of Innermedia and will work closely with existing digital, marketing, and AI teams to deliver integrated brand and digital projects for clients across the UK and beyond.

About Mercer
Mercer design is a boutique design agency in Somerset, with 25 years of experience.
We started as a small agency and we are proud of our growth. We purposefully are not a large corporate agency. However, we do have clients all around the globe. As boutique would suggest we are an affordable and approachable small design agency that focuses on three creative niches, education, artisan businesses and charities.
Our design is not static, we grow and build alongside the client. Our business is built on a great reputation, strong working relationships and word-of-mouth recommendations… and that’s how we like it. To us, it’s all about the relationships we form and the individuality of the work we produce.
