UK-based social media specialist site, LBG Media, enjoyed strong revenue momentum in its H1 2026 trading update, up 19 per cent to £52.4 million for the period to March 31st 2026.

The company stated: “Excellent growth in our Direct revenue streams: we continue to expand existing customer relationships in both the US and the UK. The underlying trend is an increased share of wallet and growth in the US which is becoming materially more important, driven by strong demand from blue-chip brands for our relevant and engaging content on premium digital platforms to reach young adults.”

LBG added that it is using AI as part of its creative portfolio: “Momentum for our longstanding use of generative AI: investment in emerging technology driving productivity gains and client engagement.”

LBG says its global audience is around 500 million.

“Group is moving towards higher quality revenue, with reduced future reliance on Indirect. The increased focus on Direct revenue streams is performing ahead of expectations, with the result that the Board is increasing its FY26 revenue expectations to c.£110 million. However, the revenue mix now projected for the full year – with accelerating growth in our Direct revenue streams, which have lower margins than Indirect revenue streams – means that we expect Group FY26 EBITDA to be c.£22 million,” continued LBG. “LBG Media delivered constant currency revenue growth of 22 per cent in the first half of our financial year – a significant step-up from 10 per cent constant currency revenue growth delivered in FY25. This shows the early benefits of our strategy to accelerate investment in our growth to drive predictable revenues, as outlined at our FY25 results in February.”
