Aleph Group Makes Major Move, Acquiring Entravision’s Digital Advertising Arm to Cement its Global Dominance in Emerging Markets
Miami, Florida – July 1, 2024 – In a move sending ripples through the global digital advertising landscape, Aleph Group, a leading player known for connecting digital media platforms with advertisers and consumers in emerging markets, today announced its acquisition of Entravision Global Partners (“EGP”). EGP, the digital commercial partnership arm of Entravision Communications Corporation, adds serious firepower to Aleph’s arsenal.
Expanding Aleph’s Global Footprint and Reach: A Power Play
This isn’t just another acquisition; it’s a strategic masterstroke. This move dramatically expands Aleph’s global footprint, cementing its position as the go-to platform for global digital media aiming to reach audiences in Latin America, Asia-Pacific (APAC), the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Think one-stop shop for reaching billions of potential customers. Yeah, it’s kind of a big deal.
With this acquisition, Aleph isn’t just expanding, it’s exploding. We’re talking about a massive reach across over one hundred and forty countries. Over sixty digital media platforms and more than twenty-six thousand advertisers now have access to a combined audience that’s bigger than some continents – we’re talking over three billion consumers. It’s like Aleph just threw a digital advertising party, and the whole world RSVP’d “yes.”
Why This Acquisition Is Huge: Breaking Down the Benefits
Unmatched Global Reach: Aleph Just Went Global, Global
Let’s talk about reach, baby. This acquisition supercharges Aleph’s presence in twenty-nine markets across Southeast Asia (formerly MediaDonuts), Latin America, and Central America (formerly Cisneros Interactive). We’re talking about a who’s who of digital media markets.
And it’s not just about new markets; it’s about strengthening existing relationships with major players like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), Spotify, Pinterest, Criteo, Snapchat, and others. Imagine being at a digital marketing conference and realizing Aleph is basically best friends with everyone who matters. That’s the kind of clout we’re talking about.
Strengthened Markets: A Deep Dive
Let’s get specific, because that’s where the real magic happens. This acquisition means Aleph is leveling up in some of the fastest-growing digital markets on the planet:
- Latin America: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Panama, Bolivia, Paraguay, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador.
- APAC: India, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mongolia.
If you’re a business looking to make waves in these markets, Aleph just became your new best friend. Just saying.
Solidified Leadership: The Undisputed Champ
With this acquisition, Aleph isn’t just playing in the big leagues; they’re basically rewriting the rulebook. It establishes them as the undisputed heavyweight champion of enabling digital marketing in emerging economies. Think Mike Tyson in his prime, but for digital advertising.
EGP brings deep roots in key Central America and APAC markets to the table, perfectly complementing Aleph’s already impressive global network. It’s like combining the Avengers with the Justice League – an unstoppable force in the digital advertising universe.
Aleph Group’s Vision: Connecting the World, One Click at a Time
This isn’t just about market share and global domination (though that’s definitely part of it). Aleph Group CEO and Founder, Gaston Taratuta, sees this acquisition as a giant leap towards a more connected future. “The acquisition of EGP is a significant milestone for Aleph…,” he says, “With EGP’s strong foundation in key markets, this acquisition perfectly complements our existing global network, making Aleph the sole and undisputed leader in facilitating digital marketing within emerging economies…” That’s some serious ambition right there.
But Taratuta isn’t stopping there. He’s got his eyes on the long game. “As we approach our 20th anniversary in 2025, we are focused on building a lasting legacy and anticipate continued growth and success,” he adds. Translation: Aleph is just getting started.

At its core, Aleph’s mission is to level the playing field. They’re all about making the digital world accessible to everyone, regardless of where they are or what language they speak. The goal? To foster economic growth and empower communities through the power of digital transformation. It’s like that old saying, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish online, and…well, you get the idea.
And they’re putting their money where their mouth is. Aleph’s manifesto, “We believe access changes the world,” isn’t just some corporate slogan; it’s the driving force behind everything they do.
