Company logo

MediaMonks is a creative digital production company producing websites, games, and films, often to serve the needs of advertising agencies. The company's head office is based in Hilversum, the Netherlands. MediaMonks was founded in 2001 by Wesley ter Haar, Gin Roberscheuten and Terrence Koeman and is managed by Victor Knaap. The company has international offices in London, Los Angeles, New York, Singapore and Dubai.[1] The studio has won a number awards in its field, which Wesley ter Haar claims is not in advertising but creative digital production.[2][3]

MediaMonks joined the Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA) in 2012, with Ter Haar serving as chairman of that collective today.[4] The company has co-produced more award-winning internet projects than it has won directly, though in 2014 MediaMonks won 23 Lions at Cannes, including one for the Universal Typeface Experiment.[5]

Besides the Universal Typeface Experiment that was a project launch for a Bic pen, another notable achievement was a Eurobest 2014 gold medal that was won for the Google Nightwalk in Marseille.[6][7]
