By default, the agenda view includes the CATEGORY property. Have you by
chance customized org-agenda-prefix-format?

A couple of solutions here:

1. Add a category (assuming org-agenda-prefix-format) is set to display
   categories.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Customers
** MyCustomer
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CATEGORY: mycustomer
   :END:
*** Project
**** Meeting to do some stuff
 <2010-06-21 Mon>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Day-agenda (W25):
Monday     21 June 2010 W25
  mycustomer: Meeting to do some stuff
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

2. Use tags and set the agenda to display inherited tags:

(setq org-agenda-show-inherited-tags t)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Customers
** MyCustomer                                                    :mycustomer:
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CATEGORY: mycustomer
   :END:
*** Project                                                        :projectA:
**** Meeting to do some stuff
 <2010-06-21 Mon>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Day-agenda (W25):
Monday     21 June 2010 W25
  mycustomer: Meeting to do some stuff                    :mycustomer:projectA::
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
