About Latino Media Network

• LMN has received one of the largest capital raises of a Latina owned & operated start-up in the U.S with over $80MM in capital raised from a diverse set of investors.
• Co-founders and social entrepreneurs, Stephanie Valencia and Jess Morales Rocketto, launched Latino Media Network as a media company serving the HIspanic community, owned by Latinxs for Latinxs.

• LMN’s first acquisition of 18 radio stations in 10 markets from Univision, has created a unique distribution network (with the potential to reach upwards of two thirds of the US Latino population) to build from.
• Our team will lead and continue to scale the Company into a multimedia content creation and distribution platform.
  

• LMN’s mission is to help Latinxs make sense of the world and their place in it by inspiring, informing and celebrating Hispanics through an audio focused multimedia network. We embrace cultural pride by telling Latinx stories, addressing community concerns and talking about opportunities for a better future.
• We achieve this by focusing on content creation across a variety of culturally relevant subjects and help our community navigate the ocean of information that exists in our society.
  

• Audio is the constant companion of the Hispanic consumer. According to Nielsen, radio remains one of the most reliable ways to reach Hispanic consumers, and in particular, Spanish-dominant Hispanics, as they listen to more radio than any other racial or language group. Hispanic audiences just can’t get enough of audio, 98% of U.S. Hispanics were tuning into radio each during 2017-2022 according to Nielsen and Edison Research reported that Latino podcast listeners are up 44% from last year.
• Latino Media Network sees an incredible opportunity in audio, as it is an effective medium to reach many of the Hispanics. Ethnic media is a powerful, trusted presence in our communities, and its influence is only growing in the Hispanic community. In 2020, causes and organizations spent millions of dollars to engage and turnout Hispanics through radio advertising, but Hispanic audiences are also being targeted and persuaded by misinformation at alarming rates.
