Salary benchmarks

Our take

LADbible Group was founded to revolutionise news and entertainment for the new social media generation. It does this with 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. Whilst its audience is traditionally young men, it also launched the women-focused brand, Tyla, to expand its reach among consumers.

This sector continues to be competitive, but LADbible Group has a significant presence, established following and distinct identity. All of this allows the company to maintain a strong position and continue to grow.
