Since my last update, BBSN has announced its sixth acquisition. It has also bought Engage Digital Partners, a sports marketing agency specialising in fan engagement campaigns, which has been on the block since last summer. Engage counts the ICC and its cricket tournament properties including the current Men's T20 World Cup in the USA and West In... ...
Brave Bison has delivered a strong H1 trading update and said it now expects to surpass market expectations. It wasn’t any great surprise to see this - I had said that last month, after noting it had already booked 50% of the target for the year and H2 is traditionally stronger. In light of the statement, Cavendish upgrades to £3.6m pretax profi... ...
Another in the same sector as LBG and targeting a young niche audience with short form video is Brave Bison, which has also seen improved trading, albeit nothing like the breakneck pace at LBG.

Since my last update, Brave Bison has announced an offer for Mission Group (TMG; 22p). The proposal is for 13.9 new BBSN shares for each Mission share with a partial cash alternative of up to 50% of the offer value.

So, for instance, they might own a Youtube or TikTok channel, or an Instagram page as an output for their comedy videos. By sharing interesting and fr... ...
S4 Capital (SFOR; 245p) is a purely digital advertising and marketing services company established by Sir Martin Sorrell five years ago when amid much gnashing of teeth (and allegations he put a brothel on his company expense account) he was forced out as CEO of WPP, a business he had founded 33 years earlier, building it from a shell company i... ...
Former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher used to say she could work effectively on only four hours sleep a night (although video footage often caught her snoozing during the day). Writing my New Year NAPS each January means I too am sleep deprived the week before, often waking up at 4am to scribble some intel I might have picked up during the... ...
