NGL COLLECTIVE is Leading the Way In Latinx Branded Content And Cutting Edge Virtual Events
NGL COLLECTIVE is the leading independent Latinx media and entertainment solutions company co-founded by actor John Leguizamo. The company recently won TWO (2) GOLD TELLY® AWARDS from the 42nd annual award ceremony.
The first GOLD TELLY AWARD was for their U.S. Census 2020 custom content campaign. The company was proud to team up with Culture One World to reach the Latinx community with important messaging around the importance of the Latinx community participating in the 2020 U.S. Census. NGL Collective’s campaign approach was to deliver the facts with a little bit of funny, aligning to dynamic Latinx creators from across the U.S. like OMG It’s Eddie G on the west coast, Room28 Comedy representing NYC, and the legendary actor & singer Carlos Ponce in Miami. NGL talent that contributed to this campaign win included Elianette Leon-Kelly, the account’s Sales Director, VP of Ad Sales Marketing, John C. Sosa who developed the campaign creative strategy, NGL Studio’s Ben DeJesus who directed the spot starring Carlos Ponce, that was written and co-starred Emmy-winning writer & comedian Yamil Piedra, and featured Jill Krikorian as Executive Producer.
