Prime Video Pride Sponsorship
Built and sold-in Prime Video's first-ever Pride campaign in Spain, anchored on Madrid Pride, extended into smaller cities, and designed to outlast the rainbow logo.

Context
- Authored and sold-in the business case internally for Prime Video's first-ever Pride campaign in Spain, timed with Madrid Pride, one of Europe's largest Pride events.
- Goal was to publicly evidence Prime Video's long-term commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, surface its LGBTQ+ titles, and lift brand perception with younger, diversity-conscious audiences (Gen Z in particular).
- Three real risks to navigate: accusations of 'rainbow-washing', over-indexing on Madrid at the expense of regional Spain, and ensuring the campaign fed into, not stood apart from, Prime Video's broader DEI strategy.
My role and scope
- Spain marketing lead, built the internal business case, secured the budget, designed the creative platform, negotiated the Madrid Pride sponsorship package, and coordinated the live and digital activation.
- Worked across Brand, Comms, PR, Content, Talent, and the internal LGBTQ+ employee community to keep the campaign credible end-to-end.
- Aligned title and content priorities with the Pride moment so paid, owned, and earned all pulled in the same direction.
Goal
- Establish Prime Video as a credible, year-round ally of the LGBTQ+ community in Spain, not a June-only sponsor.
- Lift brand perception and content discovery among LGBTQ+ audiences and Gen Z.
- Drive viewership of the LGBTQ+ titles already on the platform.
Strategy
- Anchor the campaign inside Prime Video's existing year-round Entra en Escena platform, so Pride was a chapter, not a standalone stunt, protecting the brand from rainbow-washing accusations.
- Negotiate a sponsorship package with Madrid Pride that included branded presence, a parade float, and a physical lounge, making participation visible, not just visual.
- Decentralise the storytelling: commission short films featuring local LGBTQ+ stories from smaller Spanish towns (Huelva, Barakaldo, Salou) so the campaign represented Spain, not just Madrid.
- Use a credible community voice (Dulceida, who had just launched a docu-series on Prime Video) as the spine of the influencer activation rather than renting allyship.
Execution
- Strong sponsorship presence: branded city activations, video spots on the main Madrid Pride stages, a 50m² interactive lounge, and a float in the Pride Parade.
- Three short films spotlighting LGBTQ+ stories from Huelva, Barakaldo, and Salou, released online during Pride week to bring regional voices into a Madrid-centric event.
- Live Twitch broadcast from the lounge: panel discussions on diversity in entertainment, plus a comedy showcase featuring up-and-coming LGBTQ+ comedians.
- Influencer activation led by Dulceida, content series, in-person event participation, and amplification across her social platforms, promoted into the official Madrid Pride agenda.
Results
- 1.1M+ impressions across online and in-person, with strong organic engagement on influencer and event content.
- Short films reached 500,000 views during Pride week.
- +25% lift in Prime Video's brand perception among LGBTQ+ audiences and Gen Z; 82% of post-campaign respondents said they saw Prime Video as an authentic supporter of diversity and inclusion.
- +15% increase in viewership of Prime Video's LGBTQ+ catalogue titles during the campaign window.
Learnings
Repeat
- · Anchor a Pride campaign inside an always-on DEI platform from day one. The stunt earns reach; the platform earns trust.
- · Decentralise the story. Smaller-city voices give a Madrid-centric event national credibility, and unlock untapped engagement.
- · Use a community-credible talent partner instead of renting allyship, the authenticity score directly reflects this choice.
Improve
- · Build the post-Pride content runway before June, the engagement is highest after Madrid, not during it.
- · Push for committed measurement on viewership lift per title, not just the brand-level metric.
