Trading Update

Trading in the first five months of the year has continued in-line with expectations and the Board reaffirms its ongoing confidence in meeting full-year market forecasts.

The integration of Social Chain, which was acquired in February 2023, is now well advanced. The delivery teams have been restructured and central functions including HR, IT, finance and marketing have all been merged with Brave Bison. New engagements have been won with Asda, Pinterest, Team GB and Warner Bros.

At Brave Bison Performance, our digital advertising practice, contracts have been renewed and/or expanded with major customers including Asus and Furniture Village. New business wins during the first half include a US insurance company under NDA with revenues of approximately $12bn, GHD, a consumer products company, and Manual, a male wellness company.

At Brave Bison Commerce, our digital commerce practice, customers are continuing to invest in their digital platforms. Existing customer Muller ramped up activity in H1, and new customers include a Finnish retailer under NDA with revenues of approximately $1.5bn.

In the Brave Bison Media Network, our portfolio of ~650 channels across YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram, contracts have been renewed in respect of partner channels for PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Alofoke, each for 24 months.

The Board would like to thank shareholders for their support over the past 12 months and we look forward to updating on further progress in September 2023 on the publication of the Company's interim results for the period to 30 June 2023.
