The company said that its bolt-on brands have "enhanc[ed] the company's position as the go-to marketing and technology partner for ambitious CMOs".

They include: sports marketing agency Engage Digital Partners, acquired in January; SEO specialist Builtvisible, acquired in March; influencer marketing firm The Fifth, acquired in April; and its largest ever purchase, MiniMBA, acquired from Centaur Media just this week.

MiniMBA, purchased for £19m, is a marketing skills and training platform that provides an MBA-level education online, founded by influential marketeer Mark Ritson.

In order to fund the deal, Brave Bison said it conditionally raised gross proceeds of £13.5m by way of an oversubscribed placing and subscription of new ordinary shares to new and existing institutional and other investors. As part of the fundraising, Ritson personally invested £2m and will invest a further £2m over the next 24 months.

At an AGM statement on Friday, Brave Bison said: "the board is very pleased to report strong progress in pursuit of Brave Bison's strategic goals."
