Spanish television presenter Marc Calderó has transitioned from a decade-long broadcasting career to a new role as Communications Manager for the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom. Based in London since January 2024, Calderó now oversees institutional communication strategies and media relations for Spanish businesses operating within the British market.
Why Marc Calderó Left Television
Calderó, 37, announced his move to London as a strategic shift toward corporate and institutional communication. While he became a recognizable face on Spanish television through programs like Ya es mediodía on Telecinco and the morning show Hablando claro on TVE, he had been gradually diversifying his professional portfolio before his departure.
According to public statements made by the journalist, the transition allows him to work directly with the Spanish Embassy and various commercial entities, marking a departure from his previous roles in news and entertainment. His television background includes hosting the 2024 Benidorm Fest alongside Ruth Lorenzo and Ana Prada, as well as participating in the debates for El Conquistador.
Will Marc Calderó Return to Broadcasting?
Although Calderó is currently focused on his corporate responsibilities in the United Kingdom, he has not officially retired from the media industry. He confirmed that while he is prioritizing his new role, he is not closing the door on future television projects.
In recent years, Calderó had already begun declining certain television offers to concentrate on institutional communication tasks, a trend that culminated in his permanent relocation to London. By his own account, his current career phase is a deliberate change in direction rather than a definitive end to his time on screen.
Key Professional Milestones
Calderó’s career transition follows a notable trajectory in Spanish media:
- Early Career: Gained initial industry recognition while working on weekend news broadcasts for the Catalan network 8tv.
- National Expansion: Moved to Madrid to take on roles at major national broadcasters, including Telecinco and TVE.
- Recent Projects: Served as a co-host for the 2024 edition of Benidorm Fest and appeared as a contributor for El Conquistador.
- Current Role: Appointed as Communications Manager for the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the UK, where he manages media strategy and corporate relations.
For now, Calderó remains based in London, balancing his new responsibilities with his personal life alongside his partner, Unai.
