Madrid Beats
Madrid’s regional government, city council and Ifema launched ‘Madrid Beats’, an international tourism campaign built around the idea of the city’s “invisible heart”. A two-minute film narrated by Walton Goggins brings together Madrid’s history, people, culture and surrounding towns, using Formula 1’s return as a global media moment to promote the destination in 13 countries and seven languages.
Why it worked: It smartly hijacked F1’s global news cycle with a Hollywood-voiced, multi-language film and hard growth numbers to justify coverage.
The lesson: Consider timing your pitch to a global tentpole, add a recognizable narrator, translate assets, and quantify projected impact clearly.
