It also operates Exile Kids, which is focused on Spanish-language animation and family entertainment.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Isaac and the talented Exile team,\u201d said Mayer and Staggs. \u201cExile has established itself as an emerging leader in Spanish-language content, with deep relationships with exceptional artists and creators, broad cross-platform production, audience engagement and social commerce expertise. We\u2019re excited to be a part of the tremendous growth they have ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cExile\u2019s vision is to create content that not only resonates with Spanish speakers but also with universal audiences,\u201d Lee noted. \u201cWe have spent the last three years building a network of creative talent and compelling IP, and partnering with Candle will allow us to accelerate our strategy. Kevin, Tom and Blackstone have an inspiring vision for Candle, and their commitment to invest in properties that are highly dedicated to creator communities and audiences aligns perfectly with Exile\u2019s mission. It is an honor to join the Candle family of storytellers who represent diverse cultures and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Candle Media, the media company founded by Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs, has acquired the Spanish-language production outfit Exile Content Studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":4537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[991,958,318,992,993],"class_list":["post-4536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-candle-media","tag-exile-content-studio","tag-isaac-lee","tag-kevin-mayer","tag-tom-staggs"],"yoast_head":"\n
