  • The LATAM Playbook: Navigating Volatility with Eduardo Castro
    May 6 2026

    In this new episode of More Voices, host Andrés Laguna welcomes Eduardo Castro, founder of Elemento, a public affairs agency based in Ecuador with operations in Colombia and Peru, to explore the role of public affairs in Latin America. Eduardo shares the story behind Elemento’s growth over the past twelve years and reflects on the specific challenges of working in a region marked by political volatility, regulatory complexity and reputational sensitivity.

    The conversation covers:

    Public Affairs in Latin America: Why political instability, fragmentation and local dynamics make the region a particularly complex environment for companies.

    Reputation and Trust: How strong corporate narratives can act as a “shield” for businesses operating in polarized contexts.

    Local Strategies: Why multinational companies should avoid applying global formulas and instead build long-term relationships based on local knowledge.

    Technology and AI: How artificial intelligence can support public affairs work through better information and analysis, while human relationships remain at the heart of the profession.

    Global Collaboration: Why joining More Agencies allows Elemento to bring Latin America into a wider international network and create new opportunities across markets.

  • Modern Public Affairs & The "Castro" Approach with Stefan de Bruijn
    Feb 28 2026

    In the inaugural episode of More Voices, hosts Andrés Laguna and Javier Balmaseda welcome Stefan de Bruijn, co-founder of the Netherlands-based agency Castro, to discuss the evolving world of public affairs.

    Stefan shares the surprising story behind the "Castro" name—named after San Francisco’s inclusive district rather than the Cuban leader—and explains why his agency prioritizes building relationships over dense reports. The conversation covers:

    • The Dutch Political Landscape: Navigating the current minority coalition and why fragmentation creates new opportunities for lobbyists.
    • Policy Comms: Why traditional lobbying must be integrated with corporate communications and media strategy.
    • The EU Connection: The rising importance of local and EU-level advocacy for global businesses.
    • Looking Ahead: A "Quick Fire" round on the newsletters to follow and how AI is poised to disrupt the industry.
