Emphasis Communication

What Emphasis Communication does

Emphasis Comunicación (legal entity Emphasis Publicidad S.L.) is a Madrid-based, full-service communication, advertising, and public relations agency founded in 1999. The firm operates as a small boutique (1-10 employees) under the leadership of Director Patricia Herranz and Technical Director José Luis Armero, with a team whose members collectively bring more than 25 years of sector experience. Its service portfolio spans seven core offerings: communication campaigns and media relations, conventional and digital advertising (press, radio, TV, outdoor, plus Facebook/Instagram/Google), large-format banner and rooftop signage installation, public relations and event organization, trade show stand design and production, web design and digital marketing (newsletters, email marketing, SEO/SEM), and social media management.

The firm's underlying technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary — there are no disclosed platforms, APIs, AI/ML systems, or software products. Emphasis delivers services as project-based professional engagements, with pricing custom-quoted per client rather than published. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, anchored in long-tenured relationships with marquee Spanish institutions and multinationals, including Ayuntamiento de Madrid, Xiaomi, Coca Cola, Red Bull, Banco Santander, Cepsa, Sanitas, Servier, Federación Española de Baloncesto, and Novomatic.

The business model is straightforward professional services revenue across seven streams, all delivered as discrete projects (signage installations, vinyls, billboards, event production, trade show stands, social media management, and digital campaigns). The agency operates primarily in Madrid (headquarters at Calle Santiago Bernabéu, Chamartín district) with selective international signage deployment. It serves a diversified mix of government, healthcare, pharmaceutical, real estate, sports, financial services, and consumer goods clients, with no disclosed funding, M&A activity, or investor backing, indicating a privately-held lifestyle agency rather than a scaling enterprise.
