Donna Speciale, President of U.S. Advertising Sales and Marketing at TelevisaUnivision, took the stage at the company’s presentation at Pier 36 in New York City, proclaiming: “Today, we are the leader in entertaining the Spanish-speaking world – a powerhouse portfolio of media brands and capabilities with no equal.” She continued, “we have incredible momentum and massive reach to an influential and growing audience. This is ‘Young América,’ contributing 100% of 18-34 growth over the next five years and driving our collective culture."

Speciale announced significant progress towards closing the gap of advertisers who invest in Spanish-language media, stating that TelevisaUnivision has welcomed over 110 new brands since she took the stage last year. Underscoring the company’s efforts towards solving for the data inequities that have plagued media measurement for decades, Speciale announced over 150 clients are activating against the company’s Hispanic household data graph, which now covers nearly 100% of all U.S. Hispanic households. Additionally, Speciale called on the industry to lean into big data, recognizing Nielsen’s Big Data Plus Panel solution as a huge step for equity, proclaiming that “there’s finally a currency where Hispanics and their media behaviors are accurately measured.”

Pierluigi Gazzolo, Chief Executive Officer of ViX, the company’s renowned global streaming service, took the stage and showcased ViX's continued momentum, announcing the platform now has more than 30 million monthly active users globally. Addressing the room of advertisers and marketers, Gazzolo emphasized that “consumption on the platform is continuing to grow rapidly – 80% of consumption on ViX is content no one else has and, importantly, 63% of users on ViX are incremental to the massive audience we serve on linear, which means greater cross-platform reach for all of you.”

President of U.S. Networks Ignacio “Nacho” Meyer introduced the company’s news, sports and entertainment content offering for 2023-2024, stating: “It’s undeniable that our content eclipses everyone else in the media landscape.” He continued, “on our networks alone, we deliver over 60% of all Spanish-language viewing, making Univision the #1 network among Hispanics for 30 consecutive years. Our legacy, our advocacy, our consistency, our equity, and, of course, our stars, are why Hispanic viewers choose us.”
