BBC Worldwide marketing strategy (2024)

BBC Worldwide is increasing its marketing spend across Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa by 40% to boost the profile of brands such as Teletubbies and the Tweenies in foreign markets.

In a change of marketing strategy, BBC Worldwide will use above-the-line advertising to promote its TV shows and increase the sale of books and videos in these territories.

The EMEIA team is also expanding its marketing and PR department and is appointing PR agencies in India, Germany, Italy, France and Scandinavia.

Grant Bushby, who has been promoted to head of marketing for EMEIA, is masterminding the operation.

"We are moving away from direct dealings with publishers and licensing partners towards above-the-line advertising that benefits all our partners," he said.

Walter Hellebrand has been appointed press and PR manager. He joins from National Geographic and will be responsible for all PR across EMEIA.

Two marketing executives will join the team in September.
