In Mexico, Televisa Univision CEO Alfonso Unger faced competition from global streamers like Netflix and Disney due to their US technology. With the help of 11 Labs, Televisa Univision was able to localize its Spanish-language content for various international markets, leading to a significant deal with Netflix.
“We were asking about, gee, you know, what are your struggles? And one of his challenges is, you know, he faces, uh, you know, heavy competition from some of the kind of global streamers like, you know, Netflix or Disney or so forth, who have this US technology that's very powerful.”
“And we got, you know, this great company, 11 Labs, they can help you with it. We put them together. In a couple of months, he was in, you know, France and Poland and all over the world with this incredible technology that had his actors, basically acting exactly as they normally do with their right intonation, their right laugh, everything, but in different languages.”
“And he recently, um, based on that success, got a big deal with Netflix.”
