Brave Bison appoints head of growth

London-based media, marketing and technology company Brave Bison has appointed Ed Knights as head of growth to support its global expansion.

Ed joins from Jungle Creations and brings more than ten years’ experience leading new business and growth teams across digital and performance agencies. 

He has previously held senior roles at M&C Saatchi Performance and Born Social, where he helped secure major retained client partnerships.

In his new role, Ed will report to chief marketing officer Hannah Baker and lead the group’s growth function across its Brave Bison, Engage Digital Partners and SocialChain brands. 

He will oversee new business strategy across social, SEO, paid media and sports marketing.

Ed said: “Having followed the incredible progress of Brave Bison over the last few years, I am buzzing about this opportunity to join such a talented bunch. 

“In an increasingly fragmented and complex digital landscape, Brave Bison are re-shaping the way a modern marketing company can support brands. 

“Their vision to capitalise on this complexity is bringing to market something that is genuinely unique and refreshing. 

“The long-term vision of the business, the upcoming plans for growth, and the long-term opportunity for me to develop how Brave Bison supports brands from trend to spend is a challenge I couldn’t wait to get stuck into.”

Ed’s appointment strengthens Brave Bison’s commercial capability as it scales its international consultancy and agency offering.

Hannah added: “After a phenomenal year of both organic and acquisitive growth, Brave Bison is entering 2026 as a fundamentally different business to the one we were just 12 months ago: with real momentum, and a broader, deeper set of specialist capabilities to apply to our clients’ most complex challenges. 

“The creation of this role reflects our ambition for serious growth in the years to come. 

“Ed has the rare combination of operational excellence, broad specialist knowledge, commercial acumen and big-picture thinking we need to deliver on that ambition. 

“I can’t wait to work with him and our brilliant growth team to accelerate our next wave of innovation and growth.”
