397 media mentions to put Madrid's semiconductor ecosystem on the map

We connected the cluster's scientific, technological and business activity with communication that sparks interest and broadens its public presence.

The Madrid Region's CITT in Semiconductors brought together knowledge, talent and promising projects. The challenge was to make that activity visible and explain why it matters to companies, researchers and institutions. Over one year, TMR designed and ran a strategy combining expert content on LinkedIn, media relations, video coverage of events and refreshed owned channels.

The challenge

Turning the cluster's activity into public recognition

The CITT connects universities, research centres and companies to drive Madrid's semiconductor ecosystem. Yet its activity had limited visibility: LinkedIn lacked a steady publishing rhythm and interaction was low.

We needed to build a shared narrative and bring specialised content to audiences with different interests: the scientific community, industry, public administrations and the media.

The plan had three goals

  • 01Explain the cluster's role and its contribution to the ecosystem.
  • 02Build media presence, with an initial target of five appearances a year.
  • 03Grow an active community, keeping communication going between events and calls.

What we did

Five workstreams to build a voice of its own

TMR took on planning and execution, with monthly results tracking and editorial adjustments.

01 · STRATEGY

A shared narrative for a diverse ecosystem

We analysed the starting point, defined audiences, shaped the messages and organised the editorial calendar under the banner #MadridSemiconductorsReady.

The plan linked the cluster's agenda with issues that matter to its audiences: talent, research, industrial capabilities and technological sovereignty.

02 · LINKEDIN

Specialist knowledge, published consistently

We produced posts about technologies, projects, events and the people driving the ecosystem.

The content blended outreach and news, covering topics such as lithography, infrared imaging, hybrid computing and European semiconductor policy.

03 · MEDIA RELATIONS

Turning milestones into news

We drafted and distributed three press releases tied to the 2025 and 2026 Summits and the International Meeting on Technological Sovereignty.

CoverageNews agencies, business media, national titles and radio: Europa Press, EFE, El Economista, La Vanguardia, 20 Minutos, Cadena SER and COPE Madrid
04 · EVENTS AND VIDEO

Extending the life of every event

We turned each event into content that kept circulating afterwards: recap videos, write-ups and posts with the key takeaways.

Coverage included the Summits and the First International Meeting on Technological Sovereignty, part of the Complutense University Summer Courses, held at the European Parliament Office in Spain.

05 · WEB AND IDENTITY

Bringing consistency to owned channels

We kept news and calls up to date on the website and designed presentation and newsletter templates.

That way, press and social activity carried through into owned channels that were current and consistently presented.

The results

The first release beat the annual media target

The plan set a target of five appearances a year. The first press release generated 113 mentions across 37 different outlets.

The three releases accumulated 397 mentions and an estimated reach of 650,142 people. Coverage included Europa Press, Bolsamanía, Emprendedores, Economía Digital, El Confidencial Digital, Periodista Digital, Madridiario and Qué!

Press presence with documented value

Advertising value equivalent (AVE) of the three releases

€7,660

The distribution reports estimated an advertising value equivalent of €7,660. AVE estimates what equivalent advertising space would cost. It does not represent revenue, financial return or a complete measure of communication impact.

The value of sustained communication

A more consistent, continuous public presence for the CITT

The project gave the CITT's public presence continuity and consistency: a shared narrative, a steady editorial agenda and content tailored to each channel.

Communication helped the ecosystem's knowledge, people and events reach well beyond its own calendar.
