Imaginaccion Consultores

What Imaginaccion Consultores does

Imaginaccion Consultores is a privately held Chilean consulting holding company founded in 1996 by Enrique Correa Ríos, a former Minister Secretary General of Government under President Patricio Aylwin. The firm provides advisory services at the intersection of private-sector clients and public-sector actors, organized around four core service lines: Public Affairs (Asuntos Públicos), Strategic Communications (Comunicación Estratégica), International Consulting, and Corporate Social Responsibility (Vinculación con el Medio). It also operates recurring research products including the Political Risk Index for Chile and quarterly/bi-weekly opinion surveys conducted in partnership with Radio Cooperativa.

The firm serves three primary customer segments on a horizontal basis: private sector companies needing public-policy and regulatory navigation, corporates requiring crisis communications and reputation management, and multi-national clients seeking Latin American regional public affairs support. Its subsidiary Imaginaccion Peru and alliance with Argentine firm ABECEB extend delivery into Peru and the Southern Cone. Headcount is reported at 32+ professionals, and the firm claims 701+ clients served and 649+ crises resolved over its 30-year history. There is no proprietary technology product; the offering is built entirely on senior practitioner expertise and direct advisory engagement with client leadership teams.

The business model is professional services, with project-based, custom-priced engagements typically structured as multi-year retainers. Go-to-market combines sales-led direct advisory relationships with community-led thought leadership through publications (Claves, Estudios), seminars (Seminarios Imaginaccion, Coloquio del Agua), and earned media via the Radio Cooperativa survey partnership. Distribution is direct in Chile and Peru, and delivered through the ABECEB channel in Argentina. Revenue is not disclosed, and the firm has no external funding rounds, operating as a bootstrapped, founder-controlled holding.
