Peter Vickers

Head of Marketing, Eurovision, Geneva, Switzerland

I joined Eurovision in 2004 and am currently the Head of Marketing. I have combined a career as an international television journalist with extensive commercial and sales experience in broadcast and new media.

In my current position, I lead the Eurovision sales and marketing teams with the remit of ensuring the organisation maintains its market-leading position as distributor of live news and sports programming, and as the broadcast industry’s partner of choice.

Before joining Eurovision, I was the Head of Multimedia for PR Newswire, the world's largest press release news agency. Prior to that I was Director of Commercial Productions for Associated Press Television News, where I  was a key figure in the organisation's commercial success.

I began my career in journalism at the international television news agency Visnews, now Reuters TV, and have held a number of senior television news positions, including the post as first International Editor for MBC, the world's first Arabic language satellite channel, and Head of the English Service at Euronews, the multi-language 24-hour news channel.

I am a graduate of the University of Kent, UK, where I studied French Language, History, Literature and Philosophy, with a minor in Linguistics.

My e-mail address is vickers@eurovision.net and I look forward to hearing from you.
