Andalucia Economica

What Andalucia Economica does

Andalucía Económica, S.A. is a privately held Spanish regional business media company headquartered in Sevilla that publishes a monthly independent magazine of the same name focused on the Andalusian economy, founded in 1983 and operating continuously for 35+ years. The core product is a monthly print/digital publication sold by subscription (€33 for one year / 11 issues, scaling to €65 for three years / 33 issues), serving as the primary in-depth analytical vehicle for C-suite executives, directors, and high-level decision-makers in Andalusian companies and public administration. Beyond the magazine, the company operates an integrated portfolio of recurring proprietary content and event assets: the annual Ranking de las 1.200 Mayores Empresas en Andalucía (in its 35th edition), the Ranking de Empleo de Andalucía (10th edition), the Barómetro de Expectativas Empresariales (26th edition), the long-running Líderes de Nueva Generación event series (81+ editions), the biennial Día de la Economía Andaluza event, the AEPods podcast, and the Para Vivir Andalucía lifestyle/tourism section.

The underlying technology is a relatively standard digital publishing stack — a content-managed website (andaluciaeconomica.com), podcast production and distribution infrastructure for AEPods, and digital event management — with no disclosed AI/ML, integrations, or platform APIs. The business model combines three revenue streams: recurring individual subscription revenue (print and digital), advertising and sponsorship (including sponsored content sections and the Caja Rural del Sur podcast sponsorship), and event/ranking monetization through tickets, sponsorship, and proprietary rankings used as industry benchmarks. Distribution is primarily regional (Andalusia and a small national audience) via direct subscription sales, the owned website, and in-person event attendance. The company is led by Francisco Herrero as President and Alfredo Chávarri as Director General, operates with a 1–10 employee headcount, holds regular shareholder meetings as a Spanish public limited company (A41397514), and is GDPR-compliant.
