After finishing his degree and graduating from Portsmouth University, Bacon founded the GBM Group company itself in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The founder shared some of his thoughts on internet memes, virality, and humor with us earlier.
According to him, it’s “definitely British” memes that resonate the most with the audience. “However, we jump on reactive and cultural things happening in the UK which really helps with keeping our audience up to date," he said.
From Bacon’s perspective, one of the best tools in any content creator’s arsenal is consistency. Its impact is invaluable. "Consistency definitely helps, we've been posting on Great British Memes daily for the last 6 years. That's some commitment!" he said, adding that the team tends to post at least 3 to 4 times each day.
During our earlier conversation back in 2023, the founder opened up to Bored Panda that the London-based GBM Group team consisted of 7 full-time and freelance employees. “The GBM-owned network is now over 10 million followers strong, with the majority of their audience based in the UK," Bacon said at the time.
