What VideoWeek does
VideoWeek is a UK-based B2B media company founded in 2012 that covers the video and connected TV (CTV) advertising industry. It is headquartered at 85 Hatton Garden in London and operates as a bootstrapped, founder-owned business led by Vincent Flood, with a headcount reported in the 1-10 range. Its editorial surfaces include a dedicated website, a recurring newsletter, a podcast, and the Week in Charts data series launched in 2024, with FutureWeek added in January 2025 as a sister publication covering AI in media.
The company's commercial products center on a portfolio of recurring industry events and research. Flagship events on the 2026 calendar include VideoWeek Cologne (September 23, 2026), the European Video Awards (October 1, 2026, now in its fifth year since launching in 2022), the TV Rise Summit in Seville (October 19-22, 2026), and VideoWeek Roadmap (November 12, 2026), alongside New Video Frontiers 2026. The company also sells paid research guides and accepts digital advertising and newsletter sponsorship, with Google Analytics and Google Ads disclosed as operational tooling.
VideoWeek's audience and customer base spans advertisers, agencies, publishers, and ad-technology vendors active in video and CTV. Revenue is generated through event sponsorships and ticketing, paid research guides, newsletter sponsorship, and digital display advertising. The combination of editorial coverage, a five-year-old awards franchise, and an expanding multi-city European events portfolio positions the company as a specialist trade media and events operator rather than a technology platform.
