Every year, Eurovision turns Europe into one massive live room. This year, the 70th Eurovision Song Contest took place in Vienna, with Greece represented by Akylas and his entry “Ferto.” From the Greek national final in February to the Grand Final on May 16th, Eurovision wasn’t just a television event.

There is a common myth in the business world: “Since our company doesn’t have an official channel on TikTok (or any other Social Media channel), we don’t need to know what’s happening there.”
In reality, this approach is like sitting in a room with your ears covered while everyone in the next room is talking about you.
