The story

How MeiggsMedia started.

I started with a simple mission: help people find legitimate ways to make and save money. That mission hasn't changed. It's just scaled.

MeiggsMedia started in 2016 with one blog and no plan beyond being useful. I had spent years working in finance, accounting, and lending, watching sharp people freeze up over decisions that were not actually complicated. Most money advice was written for people who already understood money.

So I wrote for everyone else. Plain language, real numbers, and only the apps and products I had signed up for myself. That side project became a second site, then a portfolio. I taught myself every part of it along the way, mostly by getting things wrong first.

Ten years later we are still building brands, and the mission has not changed. Help real people make better decisions about money, without making anyone feel stupid for asking.

What we do

We build brands.

Ten years in, it is still the part I enjoy most. We help banks, fintech startups, and apps build their reach through digital advertising.

01

Publishing

Personal finance sites that explain money in plain language, with real numbers and only products I have used myself.

02

Advertising

Digital advertising that helps banks, fintech startups, and apps reach people who are actually looking for what they offer.

When I'm not building brands.

You'll find me having a quiet night in, at the gym, or playing chess.
