Thinking more about this, the crucial point to me is whether it says "received real buzz" or "received a real buzz". Because the term in the question is "a real buzz", I assumed that the article had been omitted by mistake from the source text, and it should read "received a real buzz". If so, I still think my suggestion is more likely to be what it means, because to receive A buzz means to have an exciting experience.

However, if it really does say "received real buzz", I don't think it can mean this; it must mean "caused real excitement" or "really got people talking". Lydia is dead right about the expression "receive a lot of buzz"; but note that here "buzz" is an uncount or mass noun, and that changes the meaning.

So if it says "you received real buzz", I agree with your interpretation, and I think "causaste gran impresión" would be fine as a translation.

I agree. That's perfect.

Yes, causaste gran impresión would work, how about: Causaste gran impresión, todos hablan de/todos han notado...

I agree completely. In my opinion, the most appropriate translation for this context would be causaste gran impresión por/con la mejora de.....

What do you think?

While I agree that Charles makes a good point (he always does), if this is a business context, I hardly think 'emoción' is the best fit. The way I read it, everyone noticed/talked about the 2% improved margin. Also, it depends on the source. It is not uncommon to hear "receiving a lot of buzz" in the US. It means everyone is talking about you.

Good point, Thank you so much for your lengthy explanation.
