To enter the world of influencers and carry out the Hispanic Influencer Summit has been one of LatinWE´s biggest achievements, assures Luis Balaguer, CEO of the company. The event that gathers the most important influencers in the region, celebrated its third edition at the YouTube Space LA, with the support of Telemundo, and revealed the evolution of content creators.

At first, everything was focused on short-duration contents, but with Raze we are going to create and finance series, shows and films, always taking influencers as the main axis. This industry is already a teenager and is heading towards the summit of entertainment,” he said.
According to Balaguer, on LatinWE and Raze, plataform he co-founded, the barriers between digital and traditional talents no longer exist, and the focus is to create quality contents for all screens.
