A Brief Time Line

2002/3: Charlie Crowe leaves Emap to set up a consultancy helping media owners and agencies connect with their markets. Works on projects for TGI (WPP), WFA, Adidas, The Economist and Initiative Media.

2004: C Squared manages events for Nikkei and Eurosport and launches a global publication for Initiative. Extends consultancy work for a variety of media and advertising businesses. Work on the “Creative Media Database" begins. C Squared increases the number of IAA Events under its management and increases their profitability.

2005: This was the year C Squared began to develop its own products and move away from purely contract work. Cream magazine launches in 47 countries and the number of consultancy and publishing clients doubles – including work for MTV, Billetts, Financial Times and Discovery Networks, as well as four conferences for the IAA (International Advertising Association).

2006: Building on the success of Cream, C Squared launches the series of Cream Masterclasses, initially in New York, Moscow and Prague. While still engaged in consultancy work, C Squared pushes to promote its own proprietary products. This culminates in the launch of www.cmdglobal.com, the creative media database, after 18 months of research and IT development. Procter & Gamble and Aegis Group assist in the testing and first global subscribers include OMD Worldwide and Universal McCann Worldwide. Later in the year, C Squared announces the acquisition of the license to publish the leading magazine M&M Europe magazine from Emap PLC – to wide industry acclaim – and then announces the launch of the Venice Festival of Media – the world's first festival of media creativity and innovation – with Yahoo as the launch sponsor.

2007: After less than two years since the launch of Cream magazine, C Squared starts the year by concluding funding negotiations with the London Capital Fund. Then follows a restructuring of the business. Projected revenues are six times greater than those reported in the 2005 financial year. Over the same period, C Squared's headcount rises from 2 to 17 and sucessfully launched the first Venice Festival of Media with more than 400 attendees.
