Square Up Media is one of London’s most exciting media companies, with a mixture of luxury and lifestyle brands in an ever-growing portfolio. Square Mile, has been the City of London's top magazine for more than 12 years, and it currently has an ABC-audited circulation of 59,269. Just as an investment banker might move west to Mayfair to launch his own hedge fund, we took the same route with our second brand. Launched in 2008, Hedge was a natural successor to Square Mile – and again offers a unique lifestyle publication for the most affluent investment community in the world. In May 2013, we launched Escapism – our first mass-market offering. It's now officially the largest independent travel magazine in the UK (ABC 101,700). Foodism was next, tapping into the adventurous spirit of its sister title, and delivering fresh ideas for food lovers. It is London's largest food and drink magazine, with a circulation of 109,367 (ABC audited) copies distributed free throughout the capital. Foodism's success in London has now been repeated in Toronto - and is now Canada's top food and drink publication. Next up, the Southern Hemisphere is calling… We also have our own 1,400 sq ft photography studio and event space in Clapham Old Town, called Tun Yard Studios. Whether you need a blank space or a complete creative package – from photography to design – or anywhere in between, drop us a line on 020 7819 9999.
