Look for Driven Media on AmazonFull story →Ed Hollands pitched Driven Media, an advertising business that turns commercial vehicles into rolling billboards for brand campaigns, asking £30,000 for 20 percent of the company, and Jenny Campbell agreed to fund it.
The company is still active, now run without the investor who first backed it.
Selling Space, Not A Product
This pitch rested on media-buying and logistics know-how rather than a physical item, reaching commuters stuck in traffic in a way a fixed billboard cannot. Campbell, whose own background was in ATM services and small-business finance, covered the full £30,000 ask for a 20 percent stake and remained a shareholder for a good while afterward.
A business-to-business advertising firm like this depends on client relationships far more than shop shelves, putting it in a different category to most consumer pitches on the show.
The Founder Buys His Investor Out
In 2021 Hollands bought back Campbell's shares along with other investors' holdings, taking full ownership, with coverage at the time crediting him with steering the firm through pandemic disruption before going it alone.
A founder repurchasing a backer's stake is uncommon among this batch of pitches. It typically means the balance sheet was strong enough to cover the buyback comfortably, a solid signal of financial health, even if the cap table today looks nothing like what aired on television.
Running Under New Terms
The company's website is current, and it continues to place campaigns for clients including some well-known consumer names, with the client roster growing over the years rather than fading.
It is a reversal of the usual pattern in this batch: instead of a business surviving thanks to its backer, this one used that backing to get established and then decided it no longer needed the arrangement.
