Navigating Brand Safety and Premium Inventory in Programmatic Media

In this episode, we’re joined by Augusto Romano, co-founder of Digo, and Anthony Gonzalez from JWP Connatix, to break down how smart video strategies and real partnerships are helping brands connect with the growing U.S. and Hispanic audience.

Augusto shares how Digo was built to serve vibrant communities such as  Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Salvadorans, and more through premium video content. Meanwhile, Anthony shows us how JWP Connatix powers this mission with advanced tech to deliver and monetize video content effectively.

Together, they explain how viewer habits are shifting; everyone’s watching more video and why publishers and advertisers need to keep up. The solution? Using tools like Private Marketplaces (PMPs) and Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) to reach Hispanic audiences in brand-safe, culturally relevant ways.

But the real secret sauce? Authenticity. Augusto and Anthony talk about why brands need to understand cultural nuances, not just demographics, to truly connect. By building long-term, genuine partnerships and embracing digital transformation, especially among Latin American and Spanish-language media, brands can unlock the full power of the Hispanic market.

Tune in for an insider’s look at what it takes to create meaningful connections and successful campaigns in today’s video-first world.
