Why the name Mercurius?

The term ‘Mercurius’ derives from the Latin name for planet Mercury; inspiring the foundation of our brand’s ethos. 

Planet Mercury is closest to the Sun that is a symbol of immense light and wisdom. In Roman mythology, Mercury was the messenger of the gods. In our case it is used to refer to a brand that is intelligent, agile, and efficient. Overall, we believe our brand’s ethos holds great potential for companies seeking to set themselves apart and establish a distinct business entity.

At Mercurius Media Capital, we endeavor to embody these values in everything we do.
