Partnerships

Brand partnerships & sponsorships, evaluated on fit.

Editorial validation over logo placement. Cultural integration over paid reach. The work where partnership choice is half the strategy.

The thinking

Most brand partnerships are logo placements with a media plan attached. The ones that move a needle are the ones where the partnership itself becomes the creative idea, where the brand earns access to a cultural moment it couldn't manufacture on its own.

I evaluate partnerships on editorial fit before reach. A ¡HOLA! cover that reads as native editorial outperforms a paid campaign of the same budget. A Sitges programme slot validates a horror title in a way no trailer can. An X-Factor product integration only works if it serves the show's content first, product placements work when the product belongs in the scene; force it and the audience disengages instantly. Get the fit right and the reach takes care of itself.

The work below spans entertainment IP collaborations, telco co-branding, festival sponsorships, talent integrations, and editorial partnerships, across both Amazon and Prime Video, in Spain, Italy, the UK, and pan-European.
