About this event

Squadron Venture Media are Europe’s pre-eminent media planning and buying agency for start-up and scale-up businesses. In this session, they share the fruits of a decade of experience in helping businesses like Wise, Zoopla, Starling, and FundingCircle to achieve household-name recognition and, in many cases, unicorn status, through intelligent use of above-the-line advertising.

Takeaways from this session include:

• How you can build a strong brand whilst still delivering scalable, affordable customer growth

• How to ‘cross the chasm’ from early adoption to mainstream penetration

• How Britain really consumes media

• The relative cost and effectiveness of different media channels

• The current dynamics of the media marketplace and why there’s never been a better time to invest for growth

This session will draw on over ten years of experience and, critically, data – spanning over £100m of ad spend for over 50 clients in 15 categories. It will bust myths and tackle flawed assumptions head-on, providing a practical blueprint for growth for founders, heads of growth and VCs alike.
