Square 1 Media appoints managing director

04 February 2022

Square 1 Media, the PR and marketing agency specialising in the intermediary mortgage market and wider financial services sector, has today (4th February 2022) announced the appointment of Paul Hunt as its Managing Director.

From today, Paul will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the business, developing and seeking out new opportunities and managing the growth the business has experienced since it was founded in 2019.

Paul has over three decades experience in financial services. Over his career his positions include Marketing Director, financial services & B2B at Countrywide plc; VP/Director at Lehman Brothers Mortgage Capital Division and Head of Marketing at Platform. Over that time he has developed an enviable network from across the marketplace.

Square 1 Media was established in 2019 and was set up by Paul, Alex Hammond, Scott Philipson and Rob Griffiths. The four have over 80 years’ experience in the financial services industry and work collaboratively with every client having a senior director managing their account.

In November 2021, Square 1 Media hired ex-journalist and publisher, Kevin Rose, as its Senior Account Director.

Paul Hunt, Managing Director of Square 1 Media, commented:

“Since we founded the business as an alternative to traditional PR and communications agencies, I have naturally been the most client-facing Director of the business and so, following the level of growth we achieved in the last year, it made complete sense for me to take on the Managing Director role.

“It’s been clear in the two years since launch that the model we created for Square 1 Media is attractive to lenders, providers, distributors and other businesses active throughout the market. Now is the right time to have a permanent Managing Director to oversee our continued growth and drive the business forward.”
