Company profile

C Squared is a business publishing and information company that serves the global media and marketing industry. We started life as a communications consultancy - working with some of the world's leading multinational advertisers, media agencies and industry associations to help them achieve better connections with their employees, suppliers, clients and customers through contract publications, special reports and bespoke events. The resulting insights into the needs of global brand managers, ad agencies and media owners led to a series of launches and acquisitions that has made C Squared one of the fastest growing business publishers in Europe. Across C Squared's portfolio of market-leading magazines, websites and conferences, we have readers, subscribers, visitors and clients from over 50 countries. We produce successful events on every continent - from New York to New Delhi; from Valencia to Vilnius and from Amsterdam to Accra.
