I'm a proactive ambassador of Latino culture with 12 years of experience in the U.S. Hispanic digital market working with agencies, sales and ad ops teams to deliver results for clients. Being Hispanic myself, I am proud to work in this market. It’s inspiring to see how much has been accomplished. We’ve evolved from a minority segment to a population with $1.7 trillion in purchasing power. It’s exciting to be part of this community and contribute to its growth and development. mitú understands the complexity of the Latino audience—that it's not only about language, but also about a diverse mix of cultures and backgrounds, an audience that is constantly looking for content that connects them with their roots. mitú is unique because we really understand this multifaceted and constantly evolving audience. Our refreshed approach helps advertisers make sense of this complicated landscape and reach their audience through all the types of media they consume.

Benny Alburquerque
Director of Ad Sales
I have been in the media industry for over 18+ years having held positions in both agency and sales roles. I started off my career working at Mindshare as an Assistant Media Buyer and working my way up the ranks to become an Associate Media Director working on several accounts during my tenure at the agency. After spending 10 years working on the agency side of the business, I then made the move to work in a sales capacity as an Account Executive at BET Networks for 3 years and most recently working at Univision as a Multiplatform Account Executive selling cross-channel marketing opportunities in linear, digital, social and integrated media programs. Throughout my career I have had a passion in working in Multicultural media and I am excited to continue my career with the talented team at mitú.

mitú provides an opportunity to evolve within the industry with the ability to capture a highly desired audience segment in the young U.S. Hispanic population. With the LatinX audience growing within the U.S. it is critical for advertisers to tap into mitú’s offerings in the Hispanic marketplace to reach a fragmented audience rather than relying on traditional media companies. NGL’s refreshed and modern approach to reaching Latinos through data and targeting capabilities has put us in the forefront of effectively communicating to our target audience in all places they consume video across multiple platforms.
