As a result of the Spanish national football team’s recent victory in the South Africa World Cup, the Leading Brands of Spain Association has analysed the impact of this success on Spain’s image abroad. This project was led by AMRE’s Managing Director and covered by various media. On Saturday 17 July, the business daily Expansión published an opinion article by Miguel Otero entitled ‘The Spain Brand and the Reds: a perspective from China’. This article analysed the repercussion of the world cup victory in the strategic market of China and the need for the government and brands to harness the potential for promoting their image as a result of an event of such importance. He suggested this should be achieved through an image plan that brings together the work of different bodies to promote Spain’s image.

The President of USP Hospitals and member of the Leading Brands of Spain Association’s Board of Directors, Gabriel Masfurroll, wrote an opinion column for the newspaper Expansión. The article published on 15 August, entitled ‘Made in/by Spain’ encourages Spanish business leaders not to try and conceal the origin of their products and to exploit the potential of the brands to ensure that Spain’s image abroad is set at a level in line with the reality of the country.
