We are a modern publishing, events, education & digital marketing agency serving the financial services industry. Innovators and educators in our field, we hold a portfolio of 50 adviser events and 3 industry awards programmes.
We provide marketing and email broadcast solutions for finance and property professionals, as well as three popular online trade publications; Financial Reporter, Property Reporter and Commercial Reporter, through which we conduct comprehensive industry research. We're also proud of our impressive events portfolio - within the finance & property industries we hold three industry-leading awards programmes and countless educational events across the country, as well as digitally.
Founded in 2009 by owners Andy Shields and James Lucas, Barcadia aims to offer intelligent, effective marketing solutions and a direct route to the intermediary and property communities. We do all this by working together, sharing responsibilities, hearing each other out, working to each of our strengths, having a beer or two at the end of the day... anything that will keep the wheel turning.
We love a challenge and we love the chance to meet new people and show what we can do.
We're Barcadia Media and we'd love to hear from you.
With three trade publications covering financial services, commercial finance and property, we have our finger on the pulse – so we're always in touch with who's reading the news and what issues and topics matter to them. We provide an unbiased and current look at a range of markets, attracting over 75,000 readers per month.
We don't like to brag – but we throw a good party (or conference). When it comes to events, Barcadia Media's combination of fastidious attention to detail and offbeat creative flair makes for tightly-run, unforgettable events.
We know your clients. We know how to get their attention. Our marketing campaigns deliver your message via our extensive business databases and in-house email broadcast systems, so that you can say exactly what you want, to exactly the right people.
Data is king – especially in an ever-changing market. Our leading research platform, Insights, uses specially-developed algorithms to give us a unique perspective on the intermediary market as it stands, and we use this information to feed back for a smarter, more efficient industry.
We constantly have our finger on the pulse – our news publications deliver the latest in financial, property, and commercial news with straightforward reporting and a wealth of industry insight and comment.
Financial Reporter is market-leading in its space, offering a clear & unbiased look at the industry as well as the latest comment and opinion from those in the know to an audience of financial intermediaries, lenders and product providers.
Property Reporter has a wide audience from landlords & letting agents to property investors and covers a range of topics as well as expert insight into the property market.
Carving its own space in a niche area of the industry, Commercial Reporter is the newest addition to our publications and offers a unique focus on the commercial market.
2020 saw many of our events – including our highly successful CPD-accredited roadshows - put on hold or moved to an innovative digital format. This has allowed us to strengthen and refine our educational offering. We're proud to now offer roadshow events across the UK, digital events for flexible learning, and CPD articles for on-demand professional development – a selection of tools to support the intermediary, no matter when or where they want to engage with learning.
With a range of carefully-designed events covering everything from buy-to-let to later life lending, at venues across the UK, our Roadshows are making broker education better and more accessible.
Networking and CPD learning but with a virtual twist, allowing us to reach a greater audience of intermediaries than ever and cater to more niche product types - another incredible tool for lenders, providers and intermediaries alike.
Thought leadership and CPD learning combined, our CPD articles are designed to give our readers on-demand educational content that's shaped by the experts of our industry.
After all-digital awards programmes (including the successful launch of our Property Reporter Awards) we are excited that 2021 will see us build on our previous experience and a renewed enthusiasm as we shake up the format of our coveted #FRAwards and take our events from strength to strength - all with a characteristic Barcadia twist. Our awards programmes are not just a chance to have a party (although we're great at that!) – they're about raising the bar, creating change, and celebrating those who truly deserve it.
The Financial Reporter Awards have supported a changing industry by rewarding those who go above and beyond for over a decade - and, in 2021, we bring our unmissable #FRA winners' party to London.
The Financial Reporter Women's Recognition Awards was launched to an incredible reception in 2018, aiming to support the growing momentum for a more diverse and equal financial services community, and is now in its fourth year.
The Property Reporter Awards, launched in 2020, aim to support the businesses who are the backbone of the UK property market.
