CNBC Launches Marketing Drive ahead of World Economic Forum in Davos

London, 12 January 2016 - CNBC International today announced the launch of a pan-European and Asia marketing campaign to promote its coverage of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos next week (20th – 23rd January 2016).

The You're Invited campaign targets CNBC International's affluent and aspirational audience via print and digital advertising across a range of websites and platforms.

Finola McDonnell, VP of Communications and Marketing at CNBC International said:

"It's often the case that it's your boss that goes to Davos, but with CNBC's unrivalled access, everyone's invited. CNBC is the number one broadcaster on the ground at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting. Last year, 150 CEOs and political leaders spoke to us before anyone else. Looking ahead to this year's conference, our agenda is busier than ever."

CNBC's coverage of the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos will commence with a special live programme on Tuesday 19th January, hosted by Julia Chatterley, which will preview the week's events. On January 20th, 21st and 22nd CNBC will be live from Davos between 5AM and 10AM and 3PM and 4PM daily. CNBC is also offering live updates via its daily Davos Live Blog which launches on January 20th.
