Square 1 Bank provided a $1 million credit facility to new client Molio, Inc., a creative and media agency focused on building brands through YouTube. Proceeds from the facility will be used to fuel the company's continued growth and expansion.

A 2015 spin-off of oral care company, Orabrush, Inc., Molio's brand-building model combines intelligent ad placement software and advertising services such as content creation, video optimization and media placement to generate hyper-targeted marketing campaigns that increase awareness, engagement and conversions. Molio's YouTube expertise is a clear differentiator in the online video marketing community. Its comprehensive approach enables companies to successfully build brands and launch products on a global scale, focusing first on YouTube and then expanding to other relevant channels.

"We significantly value the strategic partnership we have with Square 1 Bank," said Scott Wright, chief financial officer of Molio and Orabrush. "It is a breath of fresh air to work with a credible financial institution that understands the needs and circumstances of up and coming businesses like ours. Square 1's approach to growth-stage lending has allowed us to fuel our successful business model without bogging us down with overly burdensome administrative tasks and covenant restrictions. Over the years of our partnership, their customer service and efforts to understand and help our business have been unparalleled."

Jody Shepherd, senior vice president in Square 1 Bank's technology banking practice, added, "Having worked with the Orabrush team for several years, we knew they were building a solid company that was poised for expansion. The Square 1 team is excited to see Molio's unique approach and proven technology serving a broader client base, and we look forward to supporting their growth for years to come."

Molio is a leading marketing company that delivers YouTube centric campaigns, combining creative content and programmatic media buying to build brands.
