El Orden Mundial

What El Orden Mundial does

El Orden Mundial (legal name: El Orden Mundial en el Siglo XXI, S.L.) is a privately held, independent Spanish-language media company founded in 2012 in Madrid, Spain, that publishes explanatory international analysis for a general informed audience and a professional qualified readership across Spain and Latin America. Its core product is the website elordenmundial.com, organized by topic (Geopolitics, Politics, Economy, Society, Culture, Development, Technology) and region (Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, China, United States, Europe, Middle East, Russia, post-Soviet space), supplemented by a transmedia stack of three proprietary podcasts (including "No es el fin del mundo," among the most-listened on Spotify Spain since its May 2023 launch, and the Panenka-co-produced "Real Politik FC"), weekly newsletters reaching 35,000+ subscribers, an "EOM explica" explainer series, and two books published with Ediciones Ariel. The company additionally partners with Wakea Travel on educational group trips to geopolitically relevant destinations and maintains a recurring broadcast presence on La Sexta, Ondacero, and RTVE.

The operation is built around a 16-person core editorial team supported by a network of roughly 50 specialized analysts, producing original maps, infographics, and long-form explanatory articles at a scale described as unprecedented in Spanish-language media. The business model is roughly 60% subscription-driven (8,000+ paying subscribers on tiers priced at €6/month, €60/year, and a €90/year "Mecenas" patron tier, all auto-renewing), with the balance generated from branded content and sponsorships, programmatic and social media advertising, media-collaboration fees from broadcast partners, and live events and university talks. Reach totals 1M+ unique monthly readers, ~600,000 combined social media followers, 35,000 newsletter subscribers, and 70,000+ podcast listeners, positioning EOM as the most-read Spanish-language international analysis medium worldwide.
