Televisa's Manager of Multimedia Content Blanca Almaguer says, "For Televisa, the tribute to Roberto Gomez Bolanos, 'Chespirito,' was the perfect opportunity to deploy Voices Heard Media's event boxes on our websites...We were impressed with the opportunity it presents to drive fans to our site, reengage them in a new and fun way and honor them with a great prize opportunity."

Will Overstreet, CEO of Voices Heard Media said, "Our partnership with Televisa will connect fans with a beloved cultural institution and celebrate Chespirito's outstanding career."

Overstreet added that in addition, the product is designed to harness the power of social media to engage Chespirito fans on his own turf at www.televisa.com/chespirito, instead of relying solely on outside social media platforms like Facebook® and Twitter®.
