About Us | MarkMeets — Entertainment & Lifestyle Since 2002

MarkMeets is an independent UK news and lifestyle website founded in 2002 by entertainment journalist Mark Boardman. We publish entertainment news, celebrity interviews, reviews and features for an international readership spanning more than 125 countries.

Entertainment is at the heart of our story. From discovering an unsigned musician to interviewing familiar faces on the red carpet, we have spent more than two decades covering the people and projects that shape popular culture.

Today, our coverage also includes business, technology, travel and lifestyle, reflecting the wider interests of our readers.

Our Story

MarkMeets began with a straightforward aim: to bring fans closer to entertainment.

Our early coverage brought together celebrity interviews, London film premiere dates, public appearances and information that fans often struggled to find in one place. As our readership grew, so did our reporting, with music reviews, television features, film coverage and contributions from writers, photographers and presenters.

That connection between readers and the entertainment industry remains part of our approach. We want visitors to discover something worth reading, watching, listening to or attending.

Our Editorial Team and Contributors

MarkMeets brings together writers, journalists, interviewers, photographers, reviewers and contributors with experience across entertainment and other specialist subjects.

Some report from events or interview performers. Others review films, music and theatre, or contribute features informed by their professional interests and experience.

You can learn more about the people behind our coverage on our authors page.

How We Approach Our Coverage

Our reporting draws on interviews, event attendance, official announcements, published material and information supplied by representatives across the industry.

Depending on the story, those sources may include artists, agents, managers, publicists, venues, production companies and press teams. We aim to make clear when an article reports confirmed information, discusses a claim or offers opinion.

Accuracy matters to our readers and to the people we cover. If you believe we have made a factual error, email Info@MarkMeets.com with the article link, the information you believe is incorrect and any supporting evidence so we can review it.

Celebrity Interviews and Event Reporting

Interviews have been part of MarkMeets since its earliest days. Our celebrity interviews explore performers’ work, creative decisions, experiences and upcoming projects.

Our event coverage has taken us to red carpets, awards ceremonies, press days, backstage areas, screenings and music launches. These settings give our contributors opportunities to speak directly with talent and report on the events readers follow.

Across an interview, review or event report, our aim is to give readers something useful beyond the announcement.

Supporting Emerging Music Talent

New music has a longstanding place on MarkMeets.

Alongside established artists, we cover independent performers and unsigned acts through interviews, release coverage and live reviews. Our Featured Artist section gives readers another way to discover musicians whose work deserves attention.

We understand that an artist’s career often begins years before their first widely recognised release. Early gigs, smaller showcases and independent projects are part of that story, and we enjoy covering those stages too.

London Film Premieres and Red-Carpet Coverage

Film premieres are a longstanding part of the MarkMeets identity.

Our London film premieres page helps readers find information about upcoming events, alongside our wider coverage of screenings, festivals and red-carpet appearances.

For many visitors, this is where they first discover MarkMeets. Others arrive through an interview, a television feature or a music review. Each is part of the same publication, built around an interest in entertainment and the people who make it.

MarkMeets stories, interviews and commentary have been referenced by publications including the Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Guardian, BuzzFeed, MTV, Attitude, RTÉ, Stylist, Digital Spy and OK! Magazine.
