Alcaraz Signs

Background: Netflix wanted to globally communicate its next big sports content: the docuseries of Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz. To do so, they wanted to make a powerful and relevant action that would create a lot of buzz, especially among tennis fans. Although the lead market for the action was Spain, the idea had to have a global character, as there was foreign media bought in the United States. Creative Idea: At the end of a tennis match, the winner signs the camera. We used this to promote the new Netflix docuseries about Carlos Alcaraz hijacking dozens of TV channels during the Indian Wells tournament. Instead of signing, he wrote cryptic messages that shocked the entire tennis world. First "N. See you soon", referring to the Netflix logo. Then "Tudum", the sound of the platform when starting any content. And finally "No more secrets". A last message that was complemented by the worldwide revelation with a campaign in networks and outdoors, where Alcaraz wrote "Game, Set, Netflix". Insights & Strategy: Netflix is entertainment and irreverence. And the strategy of the idea was to showcase both of those things. Promoting our new content in an entertaining way, but at the same time making it relevant and irreverent. Since the campaign had to have a global character, we decided to realise the idea in Indian Wells, a major tournament with a lot of media coverage both in the United States and the rest of the world. Execution: The idea took place at the US tournament in Indian Wells. However, as it was broadcast on television in all the countries of the world by different channels, the idea went much further. On March 10th, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Auger-Aliassime. At the end, he wrote on the camera "N. See you soon". In the next round, on March 12th, against Fabian Marozsan he won again. At the end he wrote "Tudum". In the next match, on March 14th, he faced Zverev and won again. Finally he wrote "No more secrets". On the same day, both on social networks and in OOH in the United States and Spain, we launched a video where Alcaraz signed "Game, Set, Netflix" unveiling the launch of his upcoming docuseries.
