In an average month, over 360 billion hours of TV are watched globally and shows are reviewed in national media, dissected in blogs and tweets and debated passionately by viewers and fans. But how do these TV shows find an audience, and how are the great TV brands built? The TV Brand Builders reveals the secrets of successful marketing and promotion in the world of television. With many illustrations and examples drawn from major broadcasters such as the BBC, UKTV and NBCUniversal, the marketing, advertising and design techniques that work best in TV are brought to life, from launching blockbuster dramas to promoting major sporting events and from building online trailers to creating entirely new TV channels.

The TV Brand Builders provides inspiration for all marketers to learn from the ways in which TV brands have harnessed the opportunities arising from the developments in online video, smart mobile devices and social media. The discussion is supported throughout with examples of creative and innovative marketing from the world's leading media companies, and enlivened with interviews with leading practitioners. In addition, the authors have curated a video-rich stream of online resources in support of the discussion.

If you are a creative marketing professional in the media and related industries, The TV Brand Builders will be your insider guide to getting the world's attention on your brand.

It is an essential handbook for anyone looking to build content brands in a transmedia age.'" * Wayne Garvie, Chief Creative Officer, International Production, Sony Pictures Television *

In the process, Bryant and Mawer entertain and inform you with a wealth of case studies, peppered with amusing anecdotes and assessments by a host of industry insiders. Written in an engaging style, this book is a must-read for its concise history of the evolution of television branding from in-house afterthought to a booming, and often entrepreneurial, industry sector.'" * Jennifer Gillan, Professor, English and Media Studies, Bentley University, and author of Television Brandcasting: The return of the content-promotion hybrid *
"'The TV Brand Builders manages to be both a weighty tome of real insight into the industry today, and a fun and gossipy read. Great case studies abound across the US market and it proves a valuable book for anyone wrestling with the challenge of finding and keeping viewers.'" * Dave Howe, President, Strategy and Commercial Growth, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment *
"'As entertainment marketing continues to evolve, we must adapt to thrive in this new dynamic landscape. Bryant and Mawer are true visionaries in our industry.

"'I don't think I have ever read a more comprehensive account of the craft of marketing in television. There are many inspiring examples within an increasingly complex industry, which makes this book really valuable, as it describes the landscape so entirely. Armed with it, perhaps the TV marketing and branding fraternity can bring simplicity, joy and fun to communications despite that complexity.'" * Martin Lambie-Nairn, founder, Lambie-Nairn, and author of Brand Identity for Television: With Knobs On *
"'Was it ever true in TV that "if you build it, they will come"? It's certainly not so anymore in our exciting multi-screen, on-demand, dynamic industry. The art and science of TV marketing was never so vital, nor so full of possibility. But there are good reasons why it's still one of the most dysfunctional marketing jobs around, as frustrating as it is rewarding. 'This book, written by two people who have practised what they preach for many years at the heart of some of the most iconic TV marketing campaigns, is an absolute gold mine of best practice case studies, insider anecdotes and wise counsel. It covers every aspect of marketing TV, from channels to programmes, and from genres to sub-audiences. If you're trying to unpick your "timeless principles" from your "seismic changes" as you nobly serve audiences, producers and broadcasters, you'd be dotty not to have this book at your side.'" * Tess Alps, Chair, Thinkbox *
"'A fascinating piece of television history that shows how marketers moved from being the monkeys to the organ grinders of the broadcasting world, this book will be enjoyed by broadcasting professionals as well as those who just love watching TV. The authors take us into the much maligned and misunderstood world of TV marketing, showing how this art will become evermore important as we move further into a multi-platform, on-demand age.'" * Lorraine Heggessey, Advisor, Channel 4 Growth Fund, and former Controller, BBC One *
"'Fragmented, segmented, bundled, unbundled, TV marketing today apes 3D chess. Thoroughly researched and wonderfully compiled, this book transmits a clear picture of advertising and marketing's special role.'" * Tim Lefroy, Chief Executive, Advertising Association *
