Mediaset España adapts its solidarity
project “12 MESES” to the new multi-
channel environment
On 1 January 2012, “12 meses, 12 causas”, the largest
solidarity project under taken by a media company in
Spain, celebrated its 12th anniversary with unanimous
recognition from the general public. The new dimension
occupied by the company in the audiovisual market has
brought a new approach to social initiatives, which have
been adapted to the new times to make the most of
Mediaset España’s new resources and the penetration
capacity of its seven television channels, websites and
presence in social networks.
In 2000 very few companies spoke of corporate
responsibility or “social advertising”. Telecinco then began
to support the “recognition of our older generations”
by broadcasting an institutional commercial and through
it channel content. The aim was not to earn money by
achieving high viewing figures. The only purpose was to
stimulate viewers,make the most of their television screens
to enter their homes, shake consciences and give back to
society a part of what the channel received from it.
Since then, Mediaset España has entered Spanish homes
monthly to explain to viewers, always from a positive
perspective, that the matters which society must care for
are not far away and that their own attitude in par ticular
is impor tant in order for things to change.
