About Thinkbox

Thinkbox is the marketing body for commercial TV in the UK, in all its forms. It works with the marketing community with a single ambition: to help advertisers get the best out of today’s TV.

Its shareholders are Channel 4, ITV, Sky Media and UKTV, who together represent over 99% of commercial TV advertising revenue through their owned and partner TV channels. Associate Members are Amazon, Disney+, DSTv (South Africa), Netflix, TAM Ireland, Think TV (Australia), thinktv (Canada), TVN Media (Poland), Tenk TV (Norway), Vevo, Virgin Media, and Warner Bros. Discovery (UK & Ireland). STV also give direct financial support.

TV has more to offer advertisers than ever before. In a cluttered media world, with new voices clamouring for advertisers’ attention, TV continues to stand out as proven, trusted and – most importantly – pre-eminently effective.

TV shapes popular culture. The investment our broadcasters make in premium quality TV shows catering to every taste – and available on any screen you wish – creates an advertising environment that is second to none.

From ensuring that the facts about TV are known (and myths challenged) to understanding how and why TV advertising works, explaining how TV is changing, showcasing innovative and affordable solutions and constantly providing the rigorous proof of effectiveness that advertisers need, Thinkbox is here to help businesses meet their marketing objectives.

In recent years, Thinkbox has won a number of industry awards for its research and marketing initiatives. Thinkbox was named Media360’s Industry Body of the Decade and its TV advertising, particularly that featuring ‘Harvey’ the dog, has won several awards. You can view Thinkbox’s most recent TV ad – ‘Happily Ever After’ – and all previous ads on our hub.

Thinkbox is a member of The Global TV Group, the informal grouping of TV broadcasters, sales houses, and trade bodies in Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and Latin America. The Global TV Group is a forum for sharing knowledge, exchanging best practice and collating global TV intelligence www.theglobaltvgroup.com.

How can we help?

Thinkbox is here to help you get the best out of TV, and there are lots of ways we try to do that: from presentations and training, to events, research insights, press enquiries, publications and TV planning advice. Here are a few things on the menu.

•
Presentations & conference platforms
If you’d like us to run a Thinkbox Insight Session (or indeed a series of them) for you and your team – completely free of charge! - in which we share our wonderful research, some of the latest TV innovation or some key TV effectiveness insights, then please do get in touch with our Planning Team. And if you’d like one of the team to come along and speak at an event you’re running, we’d be more than happy to do that too.
•
TV Training
One of Thinkbox’s top priorities is to ensure that the industry is kept up to speed with the rapid changes happening to TV. It is important that people are equipped with the knowledge and necessary skills to take advantage of all that TV has to offer. To meet this need, we created TV Masters, our multi-award-winning and free online training course in TV advertising. For brand marketers, we can also run bespoke advertiser training that is tailored to specific needs and areas of required knowledge.
