Squadron Venture Media

Squadron Venture Media is an offline media planning and buying agency entirely focused on start-ups and fast growth companies. Over the last decade, we have helped more start-ups reach ‘unicorn’ status than any other agency in Europe. We have been able to do this because we’re utterly focussed on meeting the unique needs of fast growth businesses - we operate at speed, we take a rigorous test-and-learn approach, we leverage our media relationships aggressively and we use the experience of having scaled over 90 fast-growth businesses to formulate strategies that work faster and work better. It’s an approach that took Transferwise from 8 employees to 2,800 and a $10bn IPO as Wise in only nine years. It’s an approach that helped Starling recruit their first million customers. And it’s an approach that took Zoopla from a late market entrant to a $4bn property services behemoth. Our team is rich in both start-up and agency experience. Between us we have helped build a company named No 1 in the Tech 100 list, launched award-winning TV channels, run one of the biggest UK media buying networks, launched the YouView TV platform, rebranded one of the UK’s big mobile companies, run marketing for a national newspaper and run global media for the one of the world’s largest telecoms company. We like to have skin in the game so we have also been active in both funding and launching several online businesses. Like you, we are rather restless.
