What Cinearte does

Cinearte (legal entity: Comunicación y Marketing Linecomark Compañía Limitada) is a Quito, Ecuador-based communication and marketing agency operating across Latin America for over 35 years. The firm's core products fall into two related clusters: (i) communication and political-marketing services, including strategic campaigns, advertising, audiovisual and documentary production, editorial production, promotional/integrated marketing, and graphic design; and (ii) physical and animated art production, including 2D/3D/Stop Motion animation, 3D-modeled sculptural replicas, monumental stained glass installations for urban plazas, figurative sculptures and colossal monuments, and scale-model dioramas/miniature museums with cinematic depth-of-field techniques. Underlying technology is craft-based rather than platform-based: conventional and digital animation pipelines, 3D modeling and printing for replicas, cut-glass/resin/polymer stained-glass fabrication, and mixed-media sculptural production.

The firm derives revenue through project-based and retainer engagements with public-sector and international-organization buyers (UNICEF, OIM, OMS-OPS, Ecuador's Ministerio de Salud Pública, Municipio de Quito, Municipio de Guayaquil) and selected corporate accounts (FLOPEC, EcuaCorriente), with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is direct sales through its Quito, Santiago (Chile), and Doral (Florida) offices, supported by an organic social presence on Facebook, X/Twitter, and YouTube, plus a blog focused on mobile-learning and gamification adjacent topics. Pricing is bespoke via website contact channels; no self-service, e-commerce, or marketplace distribution is in evidence. The company is founder-operated (creative/production director Francisco Cevallos Lupera; sculptor Edgar Cevallos), with no disclosed external institutional capital.

Broad incumbents

• MullenLowe: Global creative agency network with significant Latin American operations including MullenLowe SSP3 in Colombia. Comparable to Cinearte in serving government, NGO, and corporate clients with social-behavior-change and integrated brand campaigns in the region.
• Ogilvy: Global creative network with extensive Latin American operations serving institutional, government, and corporate clients. Ogilvy is a broad incumbent comparable to Cinearte in offering integrated campaigns for large public-sector and NGO accounts, though at vastly greater scale and with broader media-buying capabilities.
• Havas: Global communications group with meaningful Latin American presence (Havas Mexico, Havas Argentina, Havas Colombia). Comparable as a broad incumbent offering integrated creative, media, and health communications services to government and enterprise clients in the region.
• BBDO Worldwide: Global creative agency network with significant Latin American presence including BBDO Mexico, BBDO Argentina, and other LatAm offices serving government, corporate, and NGO clients with integrated creative campaigns — directly comparable on the campaign-strategy and creative-execution axis.
• Publicis Groupe: Global communications group with substantial Latin American operations (Publicis Mexico, Publicis Colombia, Leo Burnett LatAm) providing integrated creative, media, and digital services to government and enterprise clients across the region.
• Leo Burnett: Global advertising agency with deep Latin American network and a heritage of emotionally driven, character-led brand campaigns — conceptually comparable to Cinearte's character-IP-driven (Máximo) approach to social communication work.
• McCann Worldgroup: Major global advertising network with strong Latin American footprint across creative, health, and public-sector communications. McCann's public-sector and health-focused practice (including McCann Health) directly competes for the same UNICEF/WHO-style social communication mandates Cinearte targets.
• DDB Worldwide: Global creative agency network with strong Latin American presence (DDB Mexico, DDB Brazil, DDB Latina). Comparable for integrated campaigns targeting government, NGO, and enterprise clients across Spanish-speaking LatAm markets.

Regional players

• LLYC: Spanish-founded Latin American communication consultancy focused on corporate communication, public affairs, marketing, and political/campaign strategy. LLYC is a closer regional comparable on the political communication and institutional campaign dimension where Cinearte operates.
• Ánima Estudios: Mexico-based animation studio producing 2D/3D content including series and character-driven IP for global platforms. Directly comparable to Cinearte on the 2D/3D animation and character-IP creation axis, though at significantly larger scale and serving entertainment rather than institutional clients.
