Notes to editors

LBG Media entertains and delights young adults, making them laugh, think and act. We do this by producing and distributing digital content such as videos, editorial, images and audio through our brands, such as LADbible, UNILAD, Betches and SPORTbible, which are dedicated to distinct popular interests.

We help brands reach young adults on social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, X, YouTube and TikTok and our owned and operated websites.

Engagement is at the heart of what we do - which comes through in our two main revenue streams:

a

We create bespoke content for blue-chip advertisers that gives them access to a young adult audience that is hard to reach for traditional media players. This is distributed across social media platforms and our owned and operated websites. We call this 'Direct' revenue.

b

Third parties - such as social media platforms - generate revenue by placing advertising next to our content. We call this 'Indirect' revenue, and the revenue is shared between the publisher, which is us, and the social media platform.

LBG Media is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (AIM: LBG).
