Our annual conference gathered more than 150 professionals from public service broadcasters across Europe for a packed two-day schedule highlighting innovation, creativity and excellence in broadcast marketing in all its forms, traditional and new.

For over 20 years, EBU Connect has brought together media professionals to discuss branding, marketing, promotions, audience navigation, design and media planning, with an increasing focus on digital and social media in recent years.

The 2018 edition took place in Madrid in collaboration with RTVE. Check out some of the best campaigns here.
