ITV Studios

ITV is an integrated producer broadcaster (IPB) consisting of ITV Studios and Media & Entertainment (M&E). Through ITV Studios we create, own and distribute high-quality content for broadcasters and platform owners globally. Through M&E, we distribute content across our channels and platforms, with an increasing focus on driving streaming viewing and revenues. The integration of these two businesses provides an attractive destination for talent and offers advertisers a unique opportunity to integrate their brand into our shows.

ITV

Our purpose is to entertain and connect with millions of people globally, reflecting and shaping culture with brilliant content and creativity. This is aligned to our 2026 strategic vision, to be a leader in UK streaming and an expanding global force in content. It is becoming increasingly clear that companies with a strong and clear purpose drive increased value.

Our Social Purpose strategy is an integral part of delivering our purpose and our strategy. See our Social Purpose website for further details.

Our initiatives to drive growth and future value are clear. Delivering on our strategy will be achieved by focusing on three critical priorities: Expand Studios globally, Supercharge Streaming, and Optimise Broadcast

These are not independent. They work together – reinforcing each other, creating synergies and delivering value. Being an integrated producer broadcaster gives us a real competitive advantage.
