Audience-Driven. Growth. Adaptability. Equality. Innovation. Authenticity. These values are at the heart of our culture and fuel everything we do—from the way we build stories to how we grow as a team.

A digital-first, platform-native mindset. We independently create and launch our shows across global platforms such as YouTube, Amazon, Samsung TV Plus, El Reino Infantil and chinese platforms like Tencent and iQiyi, tapping into a massive worldwide audience and generating billions of views.

/ OUR SECRET SAUCE?

We’re obsessed with the audience. From concept to screen, we use tech and performance data to shape content that truly resonates.
