Grupo Trust Mediatico

What Grupo Trust Mediatico does

Grupo Trust Mediático 2014, C.A. is a privately held Venezuelan media and communications conglomerate founded in 2014 and headquartered in Caracas. Through eight wholly-owned subsidiaries, the group delivers advertising, audiovisual production, broadcasting, fixed-line telecommunications, higher and vocational education, legal consulting, opinion research, and crypto-asset intermediation. Its core media infrastructure comprises three television channels, fourteen FM radio stations, and a billboard network (Unidad Publicidad Exterior - UPE) of more than 9,000 units providing national advertising reach across Venezuela, complemented by Patriacell's dedicated point-to-point connectivity and data transport services for enterprise clients.

In 2022 the group launched VEPACO.Net, a proprietary Over-The-Top streaming platform that aggregates live television, scheduled programming, on-demand content, FM radio, e-learning material, and third-party streaming services (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, HBOMAX, Amazon Prime), available globally via mobile applications and Connected TV boxes with a 2.5 MB minimum internet requirement. The platform uses Big Data processing and machine learning for customer segmentation and personalized content delivery, and is supported by an advisory and technology partnership with a multinational telecommunications company. To fund VEPACO.Net development, the company issued up to US$2,070,000 in convertible bearer bonds (Obligaciones Quirografarias 2022-I and 2022-II), rated Category A, Subcategory A3 by the local Rating Board.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: advertising sales across owned TV, radio, and billboard inventory; recurring VEPACO.Net streaming subscriptions; audiovisual and corporate-image production services; and tuition from Academia Americana and Universidad Audiovisual. Secondary streams include legal fees (Valbuena & Makarem), research contracts (North American Research), telecom services (Patriacell), and crypto-asset intermediation (CAVE Blockchain). The customer base spans private enterprises, government and public entities, and individual consumer subscribers in Venezuela and globally, with reported +24.7% operating revenue growth in 2022 versus the prior year and positive but modest EBITDA margins following post-pandemic recovery.
