Having known Paul for many years, he is a trusted professional in the mortgage industry.

We’ve worked with Rob and the team at Square 1 Media for many years, across different businesses, and they’ve always been a trusted partner who understands both our industry and our goals.

Square 1 Media were instrumental in making NivoCon 2025 such a standout success. By expertly combining PR, targeted social media content and, crucially, their ability to fully leverage their own extensive industry network of contacts, they helped us attract over 400 registrations and welcome more than 250 people through the door.

Their knowledge of the specialist finance space meant they knew exactly how to get the right messages in front of the right people. The result was a room full of decision makers from lenders and broker firms – the very audience we set out to reach. Square 1 weren’t just a supplier; they were a true extension of our team and a key driver behind the event’s impact.

We asked Square 1 Media to put together a PR strategy which would help Tuscan Capital build the brand and become a more widely recognised name in the highly competitive specialist lending market. Paul and Rob, worked closely with us to understand our proposition and our personality before helping us deliver regular and consistent coverage through all the relevant media channels.

Over three years Tuscan Capital increased its voice in the market through topical articles, regular features and unashamedly tooting our own horn about the things we did well, and this clearly did the trick. We increased our distribution significantly as brokers and industry players became more aware of who we were.

In summer of 2024 Tuscan Capital achieved its objective and sold the business. I’m quite sure that Square 1’s connections, experience, and guidance in helping us build our brand went a long way to helping us achieve this. I would highly recommend Square1Media if you are in financial services, and you need a knowledgeable and reliable PR partner.

Partnering with Square 1 Media has been a game-changer for us. Their deep understanding of both the lending space and the UK intermediary market means they hit the ground running every time—no hand-holding required.

Square 1 Media's expertise, particularly in awards strategy, judging criteria, and prioritising key submissions, has been a real asset for Atom this year. We’ve seen tangible results that simply wouldn’t have materialised without their guidance.

Without Square 1 Media’s support, the volume and quality of our press and social output would have taken a serious hit. They’ve enabled us to maintain a consistent pipeline of sharp, relevant content and thought leadership—something that’s crucial to our positioning in such a competitive market.
