About Real Madrid there are thousands of pages written every week, all of what the players say is examine in TV, radio, internet, press… We needed to break through all this noise, giving fans content that only Microsoft could reveal, and that would increase the passion that fans already feel, extrapolating it, and growing the craving for more to our content and to Microsoft. And what is more attractive and engaging than secrets and hidden details? That is how the creative concept was conceive, we wanted to show all things that make the Real Madrid Club, the humongous and successful team that it is. All little parts, empowered with technology, that adding up to one another build the Club. Al the things, that are: Behind the team.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Target audience (consumer demographic/ individuals/ organisations); Relevance to platform ; Approach. The Real Madrid Club is the football club with more fans in the world, from over all the globe, all ages, cultures, religions… We needed to find a universal truth, a way to communicate, and something that could be relevant to all of them. Optimizing the media available, keeping costs at minimum, taking advantage of all the partnership’s properties, and with the premise of not interfering with the normal activities of the club and players. Knowing that Microsoft wanted to create a seasonable plan and that video is the most consumed content nowadays, our strategy was clearly to create a series of videos about all the technology used in the club in a normal day
