Brave Bison Share Discussion Threads

BBSN would always be ready to be taken over if the price is right. The shares are very cheap which makes them a target.

1. Great products and services in high demand.
2. Great share value ie under priced
3. Plenty of cash in the bank.
4. More companies with cash looking for targets such as BBSN.

The longer the share price remains low then the higher risk of a takeover.

Maybe they can merge with a larger company thereby increasing share value.

Waiting for next RNS with large orders.

Great Company as Future looks bright for BBSN.

I am not convinced BBSN is a takeover candidate. I see the Green brothers as ambitious and are using BBSN as a vehicle to grow a large media business. I think they would be reluctant sellers. Therefore an acquirer would find a better bargain elsewhere (one where the major owners are looking to sell).

I agree it’s a great company. RNS will now focus on sales increasing rapidly as the Products and Services they provide are in High Demand.

Target over 4p with 8-10p on a takeover. SFOR can be interested in BBSN.

Martin Sorrell Puts 2022 in the Rearview and Looks Toward 'Faster, Better, More Efficient' 2023.

More consolidation is code for Takeovers !!
Yes, BBSN will be bought out by SFOR as it’s a great match.
WPP can also be looking to buy out BBSN.
Be Patient all will be revealed soon with RNS..

BBSN is in a great position as market opens and demand increases for their GREAT products and services. The have plenty of cash which is unusual for a small company. I see their potential rapidly being realised with a rapid share price above 4p with RNS on orders.
Also, BBSN are a takeover target as we all know there is a huge demand for companies like BBSN.
Future is bright so expect RNS soon.

Clocktower: Not issuing more shares. The take over target is to be financed with its own cash in hand and borrowing already rubber stamped. Read RNS. NO DILUTION.

[halfpenny] 06/1/2023 17:49

Looks like I am correct …..

BBSN Expect a breakout above 3p plus as contracts flow. RNS will be great news.
Plenty of cash and Deals waiting or even a takeover then it’s 6p plus.

[clocktower] 06/1/2023 12:10

Chart looks good but are they about to add another business on and issue even more shares?

I would like to see a consolidation of around 25/1

BBSN is ideal match/candidate for SFOR to take over.
Cash rich with strong product and service. Even WPP are expanding in this area.
Value 6-8p on takeover.
Not many know about BBSN so let’s keep it low key and top up on opportunities before it shoot up rapidly!.
This is probably one of me best Xmas presents to add.

[clocktower] 15/11/2022 09:45

Well done, it looks as though it may return there yet.

On its way to 3p+

Celebrations continue this month in our Media Network arm of the business as the Hook hits 1M followers on TikTok.

Oliver Green, Chairman, commented:

"Brave Bison's diversified business model is now able to support modest leverage of approximately 1x underlying earnings. For new acquisitions we will be utilising our substantial cash balances in the first instance, followed by RCF drawings as required. The more challenging investment environment has reduced valuations across the industry, and we are seeing a number of exciting and accretive opportunities"

Drifting with the rest of the market as some liquidate to get their hands on cash, so in view of the number of shares in issue it would take a mighty of lot of good news to move it back upwards imo.

Will firm have budgets to increase spending on marketing - i doubt it, all they can hope for is gaining new customers and taking a bigger share of the market.

Good results at Superdry (SDRY) today despite challenging conditions. Partly due to increasesed spend on Social and influencer marketing. i.e exactly what BBSN are all about...


"Engage through social

Our marketing investment has increased this year with our influencer and affiliate army growing from 272 in FY21 to 2,349 this year, focused on our target demographic of under-25-year-old consumers.

A further highlight has been the great traction of our TikTok channel, which had grown from zero to over 270k followers by the end of FY22. Our videos have received over 22m views and our content reached over 33m followers, connecting with the younger demographic."

...So CEO looking for 5x profit (to £15m) over net couple of years. He's normally quite conservative in his outlook so I think that's entirely possible.

Good to hear more talk of gaming too!

Good new piece in The Drum...


The Drum sits down with Oli Green, chairman and chief exec at media company Brave Bison to talk big ambitions, the “fragmented ecosystem” of modern marketing – and why his company is not an agency.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2022

Theo and Oli Green of Brave Bison talk results, ambitions, and (not) being an agency

Social and digital media company Brave Bison was founded as Rightster by entrepreneur Charlie Muirhead back in 2011, and first went public with an IPO in 2013. After renaming (as Brave Bison) in 2016, the company went through another evolution when brothers Oli and Theo Green, young veterans of tech shop Tangent, took on a minority stake in 2019. Today, the pair collectively own 22.5% of the company and sit as chair and chief executive officer (Oli) and chief growth officer (Theo).

The duo’s tenure so far has seen a rebrand, major acquisitions, and a period of growth. Still public, Brave Bison released interim financial results last week. The first results since the full incorporation of performance agency Greenlight Digital (an acquisition first announced last year), they show year-to-date revenues of £14.7m ($15.9) and projected EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) for the year of £3m. Oli Green tells The Drum that his target is to bring the latter up to £15m over the next couple of years.

They’ll do so, he tells us, through both organic growth and more targeted acquisitions – as well as Greenlight, Brave Bison acquired Adobe specialist e-commerce shop Best Response Media in April and snapped up IP and channels from social video producers The Hook back in 2020.

That growth, says Green, will solidify Brave Bison’s position as “radically different” from competitors in the marketing world, since “we own and operate our own media assets”.

Brave for a new world

There are two sides to the business: a digital advertising and technology services business incorporating performance, e-commerce, media buying and social offerings; and a “social and digital media network” which runs over 650 YouTube channels; 13 Snapchat shows and works directly with both in-house and exclusive social media creators. The portfolio also includes some distinctly new media, gen Z-focused assets like TikTok content creator hub the Wave House. Next, they have their sights set on gaming teams and podcasts.

“We have a reputation for partnering with rights holders, media companies and companies that own content,” says Green. “Our reputation is a partner that helps to grow and scale on sort of digital and social and emerging platforms.”

It’s that mix – “we’re a hybrid that combines media, marketing and tech” – that, says Green, sets it apart from the ‘agency’ descriptor. It’s also a mix of expertise, he says, that is becoming more and more necessary. “[It’s] what clients are looking for. Marketing budgets and the budgets of a CTO are coming together so much more. We understand platforms like Salesforce, SAP, BigCommerce, and Adobe – but we also understand content, creative, data science and media. The perfect brief for us is a brief where we're responsible for generating traffic to a platform that we have built through content that we've created.”

“We’re interested in joining the dots around what is increasingly becoming a very fragmented ecosystem. You've got so many platforms, one pops up every six months; each platform itself launches a new product [every six months] too. Things are evolving so quickly that, to be able to do one job, we need to understand other jobs.”

As such, Green variously compares Brave Bison to mega-groups like S4 Capital and Next15; publishing players like Vice and Buzzfeed; production companies like Unit9; and social innovators like Jellysmack. He insists that he and brother Theo are not looking to cash out any time soon – “we're not looking for an exit. This isn't some private equity-backed venture that needs to sell in three years’ time.

"We're a public company, so people can buy into our stock whenever they like; they can also sell out of our stock whenever they like. We're in this for the long term. We want to build a much bigger company in the media marketing and tech space. We've got the basis of that now and we're going to keep going… we're building a media, marketing and technology company for the new era.”

From the Q+A session, it sounds like they might make a move into the fast-growing mobile app download promotion market. Would be very positive imo - this was where Taptica began (and grew at a phenomenal pace.)
