Our mission is to inform, entertain and empower through content that drives thought, laughter, action and change. From LADbible’s proudly mainstream, feel-good stories to UNILAD’s bold, people-first journalism our brands shape the digital experiences of Millennials and Gen Z at scale.

In a major new chapter, Betches is now part of LBG Media and we’re officially launching in the UK.

Betches is a comedy-led media brand for women with a global audience of 250M+ across social, podcasts, web, live formats and e-commerce.

If you know your Real Housewives franchises inside out, your UK Huns like your A-Zs, stay across Love Island drama as it’s unfolding, clock fashion and beauty moments the second they land, and can quote Gemma Collins like it’s second nature, you already understand the Betches UK voice.
