GRUP MEDIAPRO: 30 Years Building the Future and Strengthening Spain-U.S. Business Ties

There’s a popular saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” But what many don’t realize is that behind the captivating images of their favorite movie, the series they can’t stop watching, or the Champions League final that keeps them on the edge of their seats are the professionals of GRUP MEDIAPRO—a company born in Barcelona with a truly global footprint. For over three decades, this Spanish powerhouse has been at the forefront of the audiovisual industry, revolutionizing how stories are told and how audiences experience them.


GRUP MEDIAPRO is a shining example of Spanish innovation thriving on the world stage. With its strong presence in Miami and other key U.S. cities, the company embodies the mission of fostering closer business ties between Spain and the United States.


A Global Leader with Local Roots


Over 30 years ago, four young media professionals came together in Barcelona to transform the audiovisual industry. Today, GRUP MEDIAPRO is one of the world’s leading audiovisual companies, with over 55,000 professionals having contributed to its success. The company’s story is built on a foundation of talent, innovation, and versatility.


From its earliest days, GRUP MEDIAPRO adopted a strategy of strong local integration at each of its offices around the globe. This approach has allowed it to deliver high-quality broadcast and media services tailored to specific markets while maintaining its global vision. Now operating in 28 countries and 50 cities—including Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, London, and Dubai—the group has become a true global leader in content production.


With the ability to produce more than 25,000 projects annually across 450,000 square meters of facilities worldwide, GRUP MEDIAPRO is also the largest producer of Spanish-language content globally and one of the most awarded in the industry. Its decentralized structure allows each office to operate autonomously while covering every aspect of the value chain.


A Key Player in U.S. Media


The United States has always been a strategic market for GRUP MEDIAPRO. For over 25 years, Miami has served as a cornerstone for its operations in North America. The company’s recent expansion into Los Angeles and New York further strengthens its presence in this key market. With production centers in Miami and New York (Manhattan and Brooklyn), as well as plans for cutting-edge facilities in Yonkers near major players like Broadway Stages and Steiner Studios, GRUP MEDIAPRO is positioning itself as an indispensable player in the U.S. audiovisual industry.


Through collaborations with streaming giants like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO Max, GRUP MEDIAPRO is not only shaping global entertainment but also contributing significantly to the U.S. media landscape. Its projects have garnered prestigious awards such as Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, and Goyas—solidifying its reputation as a creative powerhouse.


Excellence in Sports Production


GRUP MEDIAPRO is synonymous with excellence in sports broadcasting. It produces some of the world’s most iconic events, including UEFA Champions League finals, Olympic Games, Pan American Games, Liga MX, and Copa América tournaments. Twelve national leagues and countless international competitions trust GRUP MEDIAPRO’s professionals to deliver innovative and high-quality productions that bring sports to life for millions of fans worldwide.


Beyond Sports: Immersive Storytelling


In 2019, GRUP MEDIAPRO took a bold step forward by launching The Mediapro Studio (TMS), consolidating its creative and distribution capabilities under one roof. TMS has partnered with renowned creators like Woody Allen and Paolo Sorrentino to develop globally acclaimed projects for major platforms.


But storytelling doesn’t stop at film and television. Through its Xperiences division, GRUP MEDIAPRO creates immersive spaces like Barcelona’s Barça Immersive Tour and Mirador Torre Glòries. These projects combine cutting-edge technology with compelling narratives to deliver unforgettable experiences—and they represent just one way GRUP MEDIAPRO is redefining entertainment.


Driving Innovation and Sustainability


Innovation lies at the heart of GRUP MEDIAPRO’s success. The company is pioneering virtual production technologies with state-of-the-art studios in Barcelona, Miami, Lisbon, and New York. Partnerships with Microsoft and Google Cloud are enabling groundbreaking applications of artificial intelligence within the audiovisual industry—an area where GRUP MEDIAPRO continues to lead.


Sustainability is another cornerstone of its operations. Initiatives like “Greenshooting” protocols for eco-friendly productions and a commitment to using 100% renewable energy in Spain showcase how GRUP MEDIAPRO integrates environmental responsibility into its business model.


Opportunities for Collaboration


For members of the Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce—and businesses seeking partnerships with innovative leaders—GRUP MEDIAPRO offers exciting opportunities for collaboration across content production, immersive experiences, sports broadcasting rights management, and technology development.


As it continues to expand its footprint in North America and beyond, GRUP MEDIAPRO remains committed to fostering connections between Spain and international markets like the U.S., Asia, and the Middle East.


Building Tomorrow’s Audiovisual Industry


GRUP MEDIAPRO’s remarkable journey over three decades serves as an inspiration for businesses worldwide. With strong roots in Spain and an ever-expanding global presence, it is shaping a future that’s more diverse, sustainable, innovative—and deeply connected.
