Editor's note
Brave Bison Group plc is headquartered in London and listed on AIM under the ticker BBSN. The group started life in 2011 as Rightster, a YouTube multichannel network founded by Charlie Muirhead, and rebranded to Brave Bison in 2016. The current shape of the business dates to January 2020, when investors Oli and Theo Green increased their holding via Tangent and Oli joined the board. Oli now runs the group as Executive Chairman and Theo as Chief Growth Officer, with operational hubs in Manchester, New York, India, Australia, Egypt, Singapore, and Dubai alongside the London base. 1 of the 818 UK agencies in the AgencyIndex directory sits inside Brave Bison Group. The roll-up since 2021 has been sustained: Greenlight Digital and Commerce in 2021 (search and ecommerce, clients including Currys, New Balance, Gap), Social Chain in 2023 (the social and influencer business originally founded by Steven Bartlett, serving KFC, Arla, Pernod Ricard), Engage Digital Partners in December 2024 for £11m (sports rights, Real Madrid, All Blacks, Formula 1), Builtvisible in March 2025 (SEO and digital PR, The Very Group, Icelandair, Specsavers), The Fifth in April 2025 (influencer marketing, after which News UK became a top-ten shareholder), MiniMBA in June 2025 for £19m (Mark Ritson's marketing training platform), and MTM in September 2025 for up to £12m (insights consultancy serving Google, Samsung, Spotify, BBC). Three shifts define the group now. First, the AIM disclosure rhythm: every deal is announced through RNS and the house broker Cavendish, so timing and consideration are public, which is unusual for the UK challenger tier where most rivals are PE-owned. Second, the centre of gravity has moved from a YouTube-era media network to an integrated social, commerce, performance, and training group, with Social Chain reporting 60% revenue growth in 2024 and proprietary tools (AudienceGPT, AdStudio) being pushed across the portfolio. Third, the News UK shareholding signals a closer working relationship with a major UK media owner, which is a different posture from peer challenger groups still rolling up agencies on PE balance sheets.

When to engage
5 signals
engaging Brave Bison makes sense
  • · Brief blends social, content, and performance under a single integrated team
  • · Influencer or creator-led work needs to sit next to search and commerce, not in a standalone silo
  • · Mid-market or scale-up client looking for an alternative to the big six holding groups without dropping to a single-discipline independent
  • · Quoted-company governance, ISO-grade information security, and AIM disclosure rhythm are useful to the buyer
  • · Sports rights, fan engagement, or marketing training capability is part of the wider brief
