PCC RISE 2023 X TV 2 DANMARK A/S
RELIVE THE CASE
We were proud to have TV 2 Danmark A/S as our partner for this year’s RISE competition. TV 2 Danmark A/S, a powerhouse in the Danish television industry, was established by law in 1986 to break DR's monopoly. TV 2 has since established itself as a leading force in the Danish television industry. As a 100% state-owned company and a commercial public service provider, TV 2 is the only media house in Denmark that creates public service content on a commercial foundation, financed solely through subscriptions and commercials – bringing in around 3.6 billion DKK in yearly revenue. Today TV 2 Danmark A/S has about 1,500 employees and operates 8 TV channels, their website TV2.DK, as well as the on-demand service TV 2 PLAY, which surpassed 1 million paid subscriptions in 2022. Explore the case and the winning solution below.
What is PCC RISE?
Our PCC RISE competition is for all economics students, and participation does not require any prior case-solving experience!

We therefore encourage all bachelor and master students to participate in the competitions!
The nine best teams are invited to present their solution in an exclusive semifinal held at a yet-to-be-disclosed venue partner. The three winners proceed to the final where they will present in front of a panel of senior judges from our Case Partner and BCG - The winner takes home DKK 10,000!
A Case in Economics
The case is written with an economist skill set in mind and provides a unique opportunity to apply economic theory from your studies to current and real issues in some of the most influential Danish organizations. The emphasis on economics is also reflected in the evaluation of the solutions and as a participant, you should expect quantitative work to be a central element to analysis.
Enter the World of Case-solving
The case is specifically designed for novices in case-solving who wish to explore the world of case competitions. Therefore, students in the bachelor’s and master’s programs with any level of experience in case-solving can easily participate in PCC RISE and boost their problem-solving toolbox.

Judges from our case partner select nine teams that advance to the semifinals, where the teams will present their solutions to a selected panel of judges. The PCC team is not part of the selection process.
The three semifinalist teams with the best solutions and presentations proceed to the final. They will present for a panel of judges, other participants and spectators. Here, the winner of the PCC RISE competition is found.
The panel of judges consists of experienced economists from our case partner, knowledge partner, and the University of Copenhagen. All participating teams will receive written feedback on their solutions.
