Squad is a Mexican multimedia company based in Mexico City and founded in 2008.[1][2] The main business of Squad is to provide digital and interactive services to customers like The Coca-Cola Company, Hewlett-Packard, Sony, Samsung and Nissan. This included creating websites, guerrilla marketing, multi-media installations, and corporate-image design.[3]

In October 2010, employee Felipe Falanghe approached Squad owners Ezequiel Ayarza and Adrian Goya. He intended to resign to work on a video game he had been planning. However, Squad said he could create the game as a company project after finishing his prior assignment. This led to the creation of Kerbal Space Program, a spaceflight simulation game, which was released in April 2015.[1][4] In May 2017, Squad sold Kerbal Space Program to Take-Two Interactive.[5]

Squad has stated their intentions to branch out into other areas, such as record-producing, and away from pure marketing.[3]
