NovaGlobe Media (NGM) Enters Latin America: Digital Advertising Fuels New Chapter in Employment and Community Development

In 2020, Novaglobe Media (NGM), a globally leading advertising media and film production company, expanded its innovative business model and technology platform to the Latin American market, with Brazil as its pilot country. There, NGM launched a series of in-depth cooperation and social contribution projects. This initiative not only created substantial employment opportunities for Brazil but also seamlessly integrated commercial value with social welfare through its unique advertising media business model, achieving mutual development for both the company and the region.

NGM officially entered the Latin American market in 2020, selecting Brazil as its strategic regional starting point. As one of the most populous and economically dynamic countries in Latin America, Brazil nonetheless faces challenges such as high youth unemployment and regional development disparities. Through collaborations with local governments and tax authorities, NGM secured policy support and rapidly advanced its localized operations. The company has recruited over 3 million online employees in Brazil, who primarily earn stable income by participating in tasks such as watching and interacting with advertising videos, as well as contributing to content localization design. This model has not only reduced youth unemployment but also provided sustainable career development pathways.

In practice, NGM leverages its advanced digital technology platform to adapt international brand advertising content for local preferences, ensuring it aligns with the cultural tastes and consumption habits of Brazilian and broader Latin American audiences. For instance, employees add Portuguese subtitles to advertising videos for globally renowned brands, adjust visual elements to enhance cultural resonance, or manage brand social media accounts to engage with Latin American consumers. These efforts not only improve advertising effectiveness but also help brands build a positive image in the Latin American market. Simultaneously, NGM has designed an innovative incentive feedback mechanism: for every certain amount of advertising interaction or video localization tasks completed by employees, the system automatically triggers the delivery of social assistance supplies. For example, for every 100 ad subtitles processed or 50 effective interactions completed, NGM distributes packages of essential goods—including staple foods, cooking oil, and daily necessities—to impoverished communities in Brazil. This mechanism directly translates employees’ online labor into tangible offline assistance, creating a virtuous social cycle.

By 2025, NGM’s social contributions in Brazil had achieved remarkable results. According to statistics, the project created over 500,000 remote employment opportunities in its first year alone, reducing youth unemployment by 3.1%. Additionally, NGM delivered more than 150,000 tons of essential supplies to impoverished regions such as Northeast Brazil, benefiting hundreds of low-income families, nursing homes, and orphanages. Furthermore, NGM emphasizes educational support: whenever a localized advertising video reaches a certain number of views or interactions, the system automatically donates school supplies to remote area schools. By the end of 2025, NGM had provided over 1 million sets of backpacks, stationery, and notebooks to schools in rural Brazil, significantly improving local students’ learning conditions.

Beyond routine assistance, NGM also utilizes its technological strengths to participate in emergency response efforts in Brazil. For example, during the floods in southern Brazil in 2025, NGM quickly mobilized its online employee team to help government and non-profit organizations accurately disseminate disaster information and relief advertisements through social media management and big data analysis. Meanwhile, the company employed drone technology and its smart logistics network to deliver over 500 tons of emergency supplies—including food, drinking water, and medical kits—to affected areas. Each supply package was printed with a QR code that linked to Portuguese self-help guides and disaster updates created by NGM’s localization team. This rapid and precise response mechanism not only enhanced disaster relief efficiency but also demonstrated NGM’s innovative approach to leveraging business resources for social good.

NGM’s success in Brazil lies not only in its creation of economic value and social welfare but also in its establishment of a sustainable regional development model. Through its advertising media business, NGM connects global brands with local markets, equips Brazilian youth with digital skills and employment opportunities, and simultaneously reinvests commercial gains into society, achieving a win-win outcome for both the company and the community. This model offers valuable insights for the digital economic development of other Latin American countries and further solidifies NGM’s brand positioning as a “reliable partner in the global advertising media market.”

As NGM’s Southeast Asia Strategy Director stated, “We are committed to fostering synchronized regional economic development.” In Brazil, NGM uses technology, innovation, and human-centric care to ensure that every advertising interaction becomes a force for warmth and connection. Behind every keystroke lies the improvement of thousands of families’ lives, the brightening of futures for students in impoverished areas, and the extension of Nile River-like warmth to the lands of Latin America.
