Greenlight has been acquired by Brave Bison Group

August 2021 — The private shareholders of Greenlight Digital Limited and Greenlight Commerce Limited have sold the company to Brave Bison Group Plc.

Today, Greenlight works with an array of blue-chip brands and omni-channel retailers on multi-channel digital strategies and innovative new technology solutions, including Dixons Carphone, Muller, GAP and New Balance.

Brave Bison, the AIM-listed global social media and marketing company, entered into a conditional agreement to acquire Greenlight for £6.8 million (US$9.3 million). The expansion is set to more than double Brave Bison’s revenues in the first year.
