Hill & Knowlton www.hillandknowlton.be

At Hill & Knowlton Belgium, we ensure that our clients communicate their points of view to the audiences that matter. We have been helping clients to navigate the Brussels media and policy scenes for over four decades. With a team of over 50 people from 13 countries speaking 16 languages, there’s no issue or challenge that we haven’t faced.

The online gambling industry is at a crossroads in Europe. The Commission’s recent Green Paper and current public consultation have provided a new impetus to the regulatory debate in Brussels, but will this be enough to generate the right changes within an industry too often perceived as being polarised by differing national and private ambitions? Hill & Knowlton can provide you with the advice and on-the-ground services to get the debate moving in Europe.
