Salary benchmarks
Our take
LADbible Group was founded to revolutionise news and entertainment for the new social media generation. It does this with social media giant brands, such as UniLad and LADbible, providing shareable, viral clips and content. With an agile approach, LADbible group is one of the new age publishers that have quickly become competitors to traditional, mainstream media networks.
In 2018, LADbible Group bought out its biggest rival company, UniLad. Moreover, whilst its audience has traditionally been predominantly male, LADbible Group has also launched a new female-focused brand, Tyla. These moves have successfully led to the company becoming one of the largest social video publishers, with a global audience approaching a billion.
This sector continues to be competitive with Vice acquiring Refinery29 and BuzzFeed, Group Nine Media & Insider all forming an alliance. With a distinct identity and having established a loyal following, LADbible is in a strong position to thrive within this growing market.
