The SBS brand

Inside Australia's multicultural network

The work of SBS's marketing unit was recognised recently with a couple of significant awards from Cannes and New York.

The media industry abounds with big, glamorous awards events and the biggest one of all has been taking place in Cannes in the south of France – the Cannes Lions advertising awards.

How do you promote something that should be mandatory viewing for every Australian? It takes time, and lots of ideas, says Jacquie Riddell.

This week, in amongst all the many obligatory meetings, was a really important one. We have a fascinating new series coming up on SBS later in the year – First Australians - and we are beginning work on how to promote it.

Bringing out a new brand for a much-loved TV and radio station like SBS is a difficcult, but ultimately rewarding process. The TV, radio and newspaper ads have had their run and now it literally comes down to the spanking new business cards we all have, writes Jacquie Riddell.

The new brand expression for SBS is rolling out across the organisation.
The television is almost completed, all our radio shows will have new music and sounds from this week, the website is taking shape and if you pass by our buildings in Federation Square (Melbourne) or Artarmon (Sydney) you will see new signs going up. We even got our business cards!
