The purpose of AIM is to raise funds.BIDS haven't raised a penny in 9 months.They seem to gave managed the funds quite well and that's confirmed by the appointment of new staff this year.A placing at BIDS wound not be a problem to me

Sk,


2P? That looks too low to me, we shall see in due course.


I agree, the pump looks to have failed now, unless they have something of substance to release of course, and if they had, why not lead with that instead of the Lumens report?

Aiden,


"Who cares what the placing price is"


Well you should for a start, as the lower the price the greater your shareholding is diluted!

BIDS is in the right sector at the right time.

[aidenabettin] 29/4/2020 14:44

Will the placing be done through a London-Tel Aviv joint venture

[aidenabettin] 29/4/2020 14:40

I thought they replaced peterhouse.#withimmediateeffect

Andy,

I think you are a tad overly optimistic with 5p. BIDS has done its ramping and been caught out badly. It just needs to take what it can get now to keep the lights on. I will go for 2p, but reserve the right to reduce that the longer the inevitable deeply discounted bucket shop placing takes to happen.

Michael Nevins, CMO, Smart AdServer
“The current crisis means companies have direct control over money going out, but not coming in. Many have therefore paused marketing spend to focus on what will generate revenue tomorrow, thinking only of the short-term, rather than six months down the line. This is very much a similar situation to what the industry saw after the 2008 stock market crash, during which the entire ad market declined by 13 per cent.

“However, unlike with the financial crash, the industry today is better prepared for recovery – the IPA forecasts a 1 per cent rise in ad spend following the crisis – and has a positive means by which to do so. Far from being a time to pause media spend, the industry must work to champion the independent publishers who uphold the media ecosystem and provide access to critical public service news. And part of that is a responsibility for advertisers to support quality British journalism at this time.”

Alexander Igelsböck, CEO, Adverity
“From Brexit to Coronavirus, so much has changed since Q4 2019. Clearly, 2020 is going to be one of the most challenging years as marketers seek to maximise their budgets, many of which are currently restricted. With market research and event marketing budgets experiencing the largest impact in Q1, the value of efficient marketing tools and data-driven approaches to advertising will be more critical than ever. Every marketing pound is under scrutiny and expected to work harder.

“The global impact is impossible to avoid, but during times of change comes demand for increased innovation and efficiencies. While we have already seen evidence that creativity supported by data-driven insights does not have to be stifled due to reduced budgets, it is hugely encouraging to see evidence that industry sentiment for a quick recovery is strong. Understandably, the short-term outlook may provoke caution among advertisers, but looking further ahead is critical and we must all be planning for the now, the then, and the next.”

Well done Bidstack in the right industry at the right time!
All new things take a time to get off the ground.
Seems this might at last be the right time....albeit for unfortunate reasons...a virus.

[hazl] 29/4/2020 12:01

Some buys appear to be in the wrong column I see....a common occurrence.

IMO

James Draper, CEO, Bidstack
“The report provides an unsurprising outlook for the media industry, as marketing budgets shrink and brands shy away from the limelight. However, we can be optimistic for the economic recovery predicted for 2021 and, in the interim, look to the sectors experiencing an influx of new audiences as people stay indoors.

“Gaming is an example of a sector thriving among the chaos. This has been recognised by the UK government – which is collaborating with developers, such as Bidstack’s partner Codemasters, to reinforce its ‘Stay Home Save Lives’ messaging during the COVID-19 pandemic in some of the most popular video games, such as DiRT Rally 2.0. Gaming provides a bright spot in these bleak times for brands looking to connect with this evolving audience, in an environment rich with real-world advertising opportunities.”;

Who cares what the placing price is as it's only being used here as a stalling tactic and to cause fear among would be buyers as was the ridiculous lumens rubbish.We all know the game Andy

Anybody that has ever read Edison articles knows they have been paid for.

-------

In the USA some promotional pieces have it written at the top of the article, not the bottom in small print as some do here.


Not everyone realises they are paid for promotional pieces, otherwise nobody would pay heed to them, and nobody would pay for them!


Edison, Hardman, Proactive, Vox Markets circus all produce promotional material that is favourable to the company paying for it.


When was the last time Justin recommended a "sell"?

[hazl] 29/4/2020 11:23

Very interesting above.
Bidstacks seems to be known in some interesting circles.

IMO

Aiden,


"The lumens scandal will not be remembered as your finest hour and all you have left is "Placing"
-------

What on earth are you talking about?


Lumens wasn't a "scandal" (IMHO) but BIDS don't come out of it well, because they failed to mention the commercial relationship between them and Lumens. Having to issue an RNS to clarify a previous RNS doesn't make them look good in my opinion.

Nobody is questioning the accuracy of the research.


If you check the accounts, and their cash burn rate, either they have some new revenue streams coming in (which they haven't RNS'd), or an M & A event is about to happen, or they need to do a placing.


If they place, what price do you think it might be at?


I'm going for 5p.

[chrissmith2] 29/4/2020 11:07

raise delayed imo.
bids spending less due to virus. (no events, less travel/hotels, less expenses, less office costs)
revenue up from minor to minor plus. (£240k instead £180k)
buys them extra month.
cash needed end July?

[aidenabettin] 29/4/2020 10:58

Sorry I'm not supposed to talk about the BOSS.Let's see the placing.It must be very large to take this long.Gaming is booming and advertisers are looking at a NEW AD CATEGORY to make up for profit losses in traditional markets due to privacy and a drop in OOH advertising.Revenues still to come this year so any placing could well be for another acquisition .Great news about Google Stadia
