Recognized by Hispanic Magazine as one of the "25 Most Powerful and Influential Hispanics," Luis Balaguer has dedicated 24 years to the entertainment industry. He is the CEO and founder of Latin World Entertainment (LWE), a leading Hispanic talent management and entertainment marketing firm in the United States. Originally launched as a management agency for top Hispanic talent, LWE has grown into a full-service company offering a comprehensive 360° approach, including public relations, licensing, endorsements, promotions, brand integration, production, and content development.
If you watch Hispanic television today, there's a strong chance you are viewing content featuring an LWE client. The company represents some of the biggest stars, influencers, and trendsetters in the Spanish-speaking entertainment world, using their star power to connect brands with the expanding U.S. Hispanic market. Recent endorsements by LWE talent have included major national campaigns for Pepsi, Ford, AT&T, Comcast, COVERGIRL, Maybelline, Garnier, Suave, and Pampers.
LWE’s licensing division began in 2010 through a partnership with Li & Fung and Regatta USA to launch Sofia Vergara's line at Kmart. The collection saw remarkable success, growing from one to six categories within three months. The production division has contributed programming to VH1, TVE, Univision, Telemundo, ABC, and YouTube. Collaborations include working with Disney's Buenavista to adapt Golden Girls for Spain and Desperate Housewives for Latin America, as well as partnering with Electus for the Spanish-language YouTube channel NuevOn. Additionally, LWE has successfully marketed over 1,000 major Hollywood studio films to U.S. Hispanic audiences and promoted leading Spanish-language music tours for top live entertainment companies.
Luis Balaguer’s diverse multicultural background includes formative years spent in Havana, Moscow, and Madrid before settling in Miami, where LWE was founded. Now based in Beverly Hills, he is married and a father of three.
