“EMAS will make it easy for brands to speak to and with more Hispanic consumers who are driving their brands’ growth. What brands and agencies need are ease and scale, and this partnership brings both a whopping reach of almost 22 million consumers and one sales team managing all of EMAS’ networks. The depth and breadth of our combined content, platforms, and audiences are a game-changer for brands trying to reach the vital Hispanic consumer. This group represents U.S. Latinos of all backgrounds, including Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Central American, and engages them with news, entertainment, and sports,” said Steve Mandala, Chief Revenue and Local Media Officer, who leads EMAS.
“beIN SPORTS is very excited to partner with Estrella Media to play a key role in engaging brands through innovative advertising and sponsorship opportunities. There is significant value for brands looking to connect with fans in unique ways through the premium sports content that our platforms offer, including unrivaled live soccer coverage from Europe and South America, and world-class sporting events and competitions,” said Antonio Briceño, Managing Director of beIN SPORTS U.S. and Canada.

Hemisphere is committed to providing differentiated, relevant, world-class content that keeps our audiences entertained, informed, and connected. This partnership brings the leading independent Spanish-language networks together to help brands and agencies grow their ability to connect with these communities. We are stronger together.”
