THE GROUP BEHIND UK-based entertainment and youth culture news site LADbible is setting up a new office in Dublin.
According to a recent job posting, “LADbible Group reaches almost half of all Irish people each month, and as a result we’re opening an office in Dublin to better service that audience.”
The group, -which owns other content brands like SPORTbible, UNILAD, Pretty52, branded content agency Joyride, and licensing arm CONTENTbible – is one of the largest social media publishers in the world.
According to job advertisements, the company is looking to expand its sales and content team in Ireland.
It is hiring a creative and project manager, an account director and an associate creative director for work on both own-brand and white label content from Dublin. The listing for account director mentions work with media agencies Havas, Group M and Aegis, which all have existing offices in Dublin.
The group declined to comment.
International expansion
LADbible Group recently opened its first international office in Sydney, where it has a strong local audience. As part of its Australian plans, the company is partnering with media agency The Social Beat.
The company’s 2017 accounts showed an operating profit of £3.7 million on sales of £15.3 million. The company stated that it employed an average of 133 people at the end of the 12-month period.
According to the director’s statement, revenue growth was due primarily to “an increased focus on the creation and distribution of our branded content”, which continued into 2018.
The company, headquartered in Manchester, was founded in 2012 and has more than 120 million online followers across its sites. It claims that its flagship brand, LADbible, is ‘followed’ by half of all UK men aged 18 to 34 and a fifth of women in the same age group.
In the past year the LADbible group said it has been working to destigmatise mental health issues and raise awareness of environmental issues and inclusivity.

Hi Niall,
If you click on the slideshow, each slide has a caption that explains a different point. Can you see the slideshow?
If not, let us know what device you are viewing it on. It’s working on desktop and I’ve just checked it on iOs
and Android and it seems fine there too?
I’m still getting used to this new media way of viewing information! Sorry guys thanks
No problem!
Ummm… What’s it got to do with the Internet? It’s about a pirate TV channel. These were pretty common place all across the US in the 70s & 80s.
It was an absolute SHITE film then and now!! [
Apart from Debbie Harry that is]. Its one of those films you can take whatever meanings you want to out of it or none at all.I took from it that whoever wrote it was on drugs when he wrote the script.
Very weak connections considering the movie focuses on the cathode ray tube being mystical. The addiction and effects are based on a scientist experimental beams.
Not exactly predictions to anything.
Scanners. Cronebergs masterpiece. Eastern Promises underated too
cronenberg is a body horror master, crash, the fly, rabid, scanners etc,etc.
I have loved his recent progression to more drama like material like eastern promise, history of violence & a dangerous method. didn’t like cosmopolis
history of violence was fantastic too!
Debbie Harry yes yes and yes! The movie was terrible.
Long live the new flesh!
Might be a Sh1t movie but a hell of a lot better then any Iris made Movie. and I wonder where internet comes into play it this story.
I will read over it and over it never know it might be in there somewhere in hidden files.
Better than The Snapper? To name but one!
It’s medication time Declan, open wide and swallow.
I think you’ll find Michelle he said ‘Iris made’ One can only assume he was referring to East German filmmaker Iris Gusner
Furthermore: could we all stop talking about the Snapper please? Yes, its just about better than Videodrome but then a documentary about whale sh*te would be too.
Tony la plonk
declan, exactly what is your problem with Irish movies????
you have yet to give any reasons, so stop trolling!!!
@ Michelle: snappy comeback
There’s hardly any link between Videodrome and the internet.
Brian O’Blivion. That about says it all. I expect the author of this wrote it while watching porn with his free hand.
have your say
