El Reino Infantil: a brand with a 360-degree strategy
In a 2025 marked by consolidation and strategic expansion, El Reino Infantil, the mult-network brand created by Roberto «Kuky» Pumar, continues to solidify its position as a leading player in digital entertainment for children. With a subscriber base of 260 million on YouTube, ranking it as the #1 Spanish-speaking children’s channel, the company is leading a diversification strategy that spans connected TV, consumer products, live shows, video games, and international alliances. Ylka Tapia, Head of Acquisitions and Agreements, detailed this in an interview with Prensario during the Premios Quirino 2025.

‘For us, the key word this year is “diversification”’, Tapia affirmed. ‘We have a massive audience that allows us to expand our intellectual properties across multiple verticals’. Among the main pillars of this strategy, she highlighted the recent launch of FAST channels across Ibero-America, designed to facilitate access to content in family environments beyond YouTube.
Additionally, El Reino Infantil has strengthened its consumer products and licensing division, aiming to create off-screen experiences. It has also relaunched its video game application with a new interface focused on «edutainment», including interactive activities with characters like Bartolito in a safe environment.
On the international front, Tapia underscored the importance of strategic partnerships with local allies for expansion into new languages. The company currently operates in 11 languages and recently launched its Turkish version. ‘Our content is very sensitive, which is why we need allies who respect the cultural and linguistic component in each territory’, she explained.
Regarding collaborations with creators, El Reino Infantil works with both established YouTubers looking to scale their brands globally and producers interested in developing digital properties from scratch. ‘We offer an ecosystem that allows for audience testing, content adaptation, and organic brand scaling’, she stated. Furthermore, their hybrid model allows content to be adapted to different formats, facilitating its entry into traditional television and even in-flight entertainment services on airlines like AirEuropa and LATAM Airlines.
Concerning the future of the industry, the executive highlighted two key aspects: the emergence of artificial intelligence and the shift in mindset regarding distribution models. While acknowledging that AI presents a challenge due to the proliferation of automatically generated content, she also sees an opportunity. ‘It shouldn’t be a threat, but rather a tool that empowers creators’ work’, she maintained.In a context where many buyers prioritize already established properties, El Reino Infantil positions itself as a strategic partner for scaling projects, building community, and adapting them to multiple platforms. ‘Digital first is not a trend; it’s a marathon’, she concluded.
