Cuando la luz se va, el silencio pesa distinto. Hay casas que guardan advertencias que sólo se entienden cuando ya es demasiado tarde. Hay despedidas que no vienen solas… y hay figuras que no necesitan tormenta para aparecer. En este episodio de Relatos de la Noche escucharemos historias donde la oscuridad no es sólo ausencia de luz, sino presencia de algo más. Algo que imita voces. Algo que regresa después de la muerte. Algo que espera en los callejones cuando creemos que vamos acompañados. Apaga la luz si te atreves. Porque algunas cosas… sólo se acercan cuando todo queda a oscuras.

Doug & Matt Q&A: Scam Warnings, Private Placements, Gold Outlook, Business Advice, and Living Abroad Doug and Matt warn subscribers about scammers impersonating them on Substack to pitch a mentorship program with urgent funding deadlines, stressing they will never solicit business opportunities and that their only related activity is sharing private placement ideas with VIP members. They discuss strong recent performance in small mining stocks, arguing the sector remains tiny, illiquid, and largely unowned by the public and fund managers, and explain why they favor private placements for discounts and warrants, citing a VIP deal in Midnight Sun copper explorer bought at $0.22 with a $0.30 warrant and later trading above $1.35. They answer questions on starting or buying businesses by focusing on solving niche problems and avoiding "influencer" strategies, remain bullish on gold and related stocks, discuss English-speaking relocation options and Chile's livability, share stories about reckless youthful speeding, touch on glyphosate concerns, and speculate about potential U.S. action against Iran. 00:00 Scam Alert Mentorship Messages 01:18 Mining Stocks Bull Market Thesis 03:16 Private Placements VIP Strategy 05:17 Starting Businesses Finding a Niche 07:11 Influencer Culture Reality Check 11:04 Reinvesting Profits Trend Following 11:51 Second Residency English Options 14:43 Corvette Chase Jail Story 17:27 Muscle Cars and Drag Racing 20:16 Gold Price Overextension Debate 23:21 Living in Chile Pros and Cons 26:12 Glyphosate and Organic Food 28:06 Holding Cash in Treasuries 28:44 Buying a Business Owner Financing 30:33 Iran War Talk and Wrap Up

En este nuevo episodio de The Milk Check, Diego Carvallo conversa con Miguel Aragón y Yara Morales sobre un mercado lácteo marcado por una fuerte volatilidad y una demanda sólida de proteínas. A pesar de ser el mes del amor y la amistad, los mercados no han mostrado mucha “ternura”, con movimientos importantes en precios y disponibilidad. El equipo analiza el aumento en el consumo de MPC 70, MPC 80 y MPC 85, especialmente en México, donde cada vez más clientes están aceptando estas proteínas para aplicaciones nutricionales. También se comenta la escasez de renina/caseína renina, la fuerte presión alcista en los precios de proteínas lácteas y el comportamiento sorprendente de los WPC, cuyos valores han subido de forma significativa. Además, se revisa la volatilidad en quesos y mantequilla, la creciente aceptación de mantequilla estadounidense en México, Chile y Centroamérica, y por qué, aun con abundante leche en EE. UU., muchos mercados continúan bien soportados. Un episodio clave para entender hacia dónde se mueven los mercados de proteínas y lácteos, y qué esperar en las próximas semanas. ¿Tienes preguntas? Nos encantaría escucharlas. Envíalas aquí abajo y quizá las respondamos en el programa. Pregúntale a The Milk Check

El embajador de Estados Unidos en Chile advirtió que su país podría revisar la exención de visado para ciudadanos chilenos tras revocar el beneficio a tres funcionarios vinculados al proyecto de cable interoceánico "Chile-China Express" para conectar a Valparaíso con Hong Kong. El analista Guillermo Holzmann no descarta que estas tensiones continúen tras la llegada de Katz al poder. La administración Trump volvió a subir el tono frente al saliente gobierno de Chile el lunes al anunciar, por boca de su embajador, que podría abrir la puerta a retirar la exención de visado a los chilenos para ingresar a Estados Unidos como turistas, en otras palabras, eliminar la "Visa Waiver". La causa de las tensiones se encuentra en un cable de fibra óptica que podría conectar Valparaíso con Hong Kong —el cable interoceánico "Chile-China Express"— y que, para el gobierno de Boric, está en etapa de "evaluación". Para Washington, el proyecto socava la seguridad regional. De hecho, tres funcionarios de la administración chilena vinculados al proyecto fueron sancionados con la revocación de su Visa Waiver. "El embajador de Estados Unidos en Chile hizo ver a la autoridad respectiva en diciembre y enero que hay un inconveniente. Según Estados Unidos, hay antecedentes suficientes en términos de lo que podría ser una eventual fuga de datos (a China) o la interferencia en el traslado de esa información y, en la práctica, de que esas interferencias lleguen directamente al gobierno chino. Esto podría constituir un riesgo y una amenaza a la seguridad nacional de Estados Unidos, pero también a la seguridad regional", dijo a RFI Guillermo Holzmann, analista político y académico de la Universidad de Valparaíso. El anuncio del embajador de Estados Unidos es una advertencia a Santiago que se enmarca en la nueva Estrategia de Seguridad Nacional de la administración actual, sostiene Holzmann. La Visa Waiver no corre riesgos a corto plazo  "Hay un aumento de tono de parte del embajador. Pero todo hace pensar que la Visa Waiver no corre riesgo en este momento, ya que ésta se maneja por otras instancias en términos del acceso a los datos. Pero es cierto que Estados Unidos la puede colocar sobre la mesa si efectivamente desea presionar al gobierno de Chile con respecto a cuál va a ser el estatus que va a mantener en su relación con Santiago, si es o no una relación normal en términos migratorios y de circulación de personas", apunta. El presidente electo de Chile, Antonio Kast, tomará posesión en marzo, pero el cambio de gobierno no es garantía de que las tensiones con Estados Unidos se reduzcan, estima el analista. "Lo más probable es que las dificultades se mantengan [cuando Kast llegue al poder]. Chile tendrá que ver cómo abre el espacio de diálogo y negociación. Hay que considerar la atención y la focalización que tiene Estados Unidos respecto a los intereses chinos en América Latina. Esto no es nuevo; también está lo que pasa con el Canal de Panamá", concluye. En diciembre, el presidente Donald Trump celebró la victoria de Antonio Kast y señaló que apoyó abiertamente al candidato de extrema derecha durante las elecciones.

Ante la polémica por las sanciones de Estados Unidos, el exembajador de Chile en China, Pablo Cabrera, planteó en Cooperativa que no es necesario para el país tener dos cables submarinos y llamó a analizar la pertinencia del proyecto con el gigante asiático. Conduce Verónica Franco

Din nou despre taxele lui Donald Trump. În noua lume comercială în care Curtea Supremă americană a anulat cele mai multe tarife vamale introduse de președintele Trump, se pot vedea deja unii câștigători și unii dezavantajați. Raportarea se face la nivelul de taxare de 15%, care intră în vigoare chiar de astăzi, față de cota aplicată începând cu anul trecut. Astfel, calculul general este simplu: țările care aveau un nivel al taxării mai mare de 15% sunt, în noua situație, avantajate, toate celelalte state ies, deocamdată, în pierdere. Deocamdată, pentru că să nu uităm actualele tarife se aplică pentru 150 de zile, după care se va ajunge din nou într-o zonă necunoscută. De exemplu, Marea Britanie, unele dintre primele țări care au reușit să ajungă la o înțelegere mai mult decât rezonabilă cu președintele american, respectiv aplicarea unei cote de numai 10% pentru importuri, se vede acum cu o creștere a nivelului de taxare. În această situație se află și Australia, Peru, Columbia, Chile, Argentina, Coreea de Sud, precum și numeroase state africane, inclusiv Egipt sau Etiopia. Este o situație paradoxală, în sensul că toate țările care au obținut, anul trecut, o taxare redusă, din motive obiective sau subiective, primesc acum o penalizare, în sensul că au o cotă mai mare a tarifelor vamale. De asemenea, Arabia Saudită și statele din Asia Centrală (cu excepția Kazahstanului) sunt în rândul celor care au o creștere a taxării, ceea ce este destul de ciudat, pentru că printre aceste state sunt și unii aliați ai SUA. Pentru unele state, cota de 15% rămâne neschimbată. Din această categorie fac parte și țările Uniunii Europene, dar care își pierd derogările de la o serie de produse care erau taxate cu 10%. Trebuie remarcat că statele care s-au dorit a fi pedepsite de Donald Trump (din diverse motive, fie din cauza unui deficit comercial mare al SUA în relația cu economia respectivă, fie din rațiuni pur politice) ajung să fie astăzi câștigătoarele schimbării venită ca urmare a deciziei Curții Supreme și apoi a tarifului impus de Donald Trump. Printre ele se află Mexicul, Canada și mai ales China. De o reducere ușoară a tarifelor vor avea parte și India, Malaezia, Thailanda, Indonezia, Filipine sau Vietnam. Desigur, beneficiile vor exista doar în perioada intermediară, după care nu se mai știe ce se va întâmpla cu taxarea vamală americană. Pentru unele cazuri, noua lume comercială complică foarte mult situația. De exemplu, India și SUA tocmai sunt gata să finalizeze un acord care prevede ca tarifele vamale să scadă de la 50% la 18%, iar India s-a angajat să facă achiziții din SUA în valoare de 500 miliarde de dolari și să deschidă parțial piața pentru produsele agricole americane, în ciuda protestelor vehemente ale fermierilor indieni. În noile condiții, partea indiană primește un cadou care îi dă forță de negociere, adică o reducere automată a tarifului la 15%. India este tentată să se retragă acum de la negocieri, pentru că există o clauză care prevede că o schimbare a tarifului permite părților să își revizuiască angajamentele. Cazul Indiei este mai complicat, pentru că SUA au fost de acord să reducă taxele vamale de la 50% doar în situația în care India încetează să mai cumpere țiței rusesc. Ca urmare, India se simte dezlegată de obligațiile acordului și poate relua achizițiile de țiței din Rusia. O analiză aparte este cea a unor posibile rambursări ale taxelor vamale. În cazul în care se vor face, explică specialiștii, banii vor fi plătiți către firmele importatoare, care au achitat sumele către statul american. Doar că majoritatea taxelor vamale au fost incluse în preț și drept urmare importatorii și-au recuperat plățile făcute de la consumatori. Așadar, consumatorii ar trebui să primească banii înapoi, nu firmele Este o situație complicată, atât de tipică pentru Donald Trump.

No todas las advertencias vienen de libros antiguos. A veces empiezan con un gato herido… con una discusión que no debió escalar… con una palabra dicha de más.
 Otras veces comienzan en una calle de tierra, bajo la luna, cuando alguien decide voltear.
Y hay ocasiones en que el dolor de una casa abre la puerta a algo que no debería cruzarla. En este episodio escucharemos historias sobre presencias que imitan, que persiguen, que castigan… y que parecen acercarse cuando alguien las desafía. Si no crees en brujas, no pasa nada. Pero cuida lo que dices. Porque hay cosas que escuchan. Suscríbete al Videoclub de Medianoche: https://www.youtube.com/@ElVideoclubdeMedianoche —

En Columnistas de Mesa Central, Iván Valenzuela y Kike Mujica conversaron con Allan Álvarez y Pablo Ortúzar sobre las relaciones de Chile con Estados Unidos y China, a raíz de la sanción del gobierno norteamericano a tres funcionarios del Ministerio de Transportes.

In Episode 85, Pierre Ferland sits down with Cristián Vallejo, the winemaker who helped build Viña VIK in Chile under the leadership of owner Alexander Vik, starting from absolute zero. No vineyards. No cellar. Just 4,500 hectares of wild land in the Millahue Valley and an ambition that practically screamed, "We are not here to make normal wine." This is a deep dive into terroir precision and controlled madness: micro valleys, hundreds of parcels, high density planting, and a pivotal moment Vallejo calls the vineyard's personality. We explore circular winemaking, wild yeast, amphora ageing, and why VIK keeps nearly 90 percent of the estate untouched. Then, in our bonus coverage available exclusively on our website, the conversation becomes even more compelling as we dive into the unique Stone VIK project, where amphoras are aged in a forest, aligned with solstice, full moons, geology, vibration, and time. It is essentially Stonehenge meets Grand Cru wine. We also uncover the very human moment Cristián Vallejo learns that VIK has achieved 100 points while standing alone in Atlanta airport.

Buenos días. La revocación de visas estadounidenses a funcionarios de gobierno, a raíz de la negociación del cable submarino entre China y Chile, siguió generando repercusiones durante el fin de semana. En medio de la controversia, la Oficina del Presidente Electo (OPE) confirmó que José Antonio Kast viajará a Estados Unidos el próximo 7 de marzo para participar en la cumbre Shield of the Americas, que se realizará en Miami. Allí, sin embargo, el foco estará puesto en otro tema: la inmigración ilegal y el nuevo escenario que plantea Venezuela. En paralelo, otra discusión que marcará la semana —más allá del Festival de Viña del Mar— estará en las reacciones a la defensa que hizo el exministro de Hacienda, Mario Marcel, de la gestión fiscal del actual gobierno, junto con sus críticas a los recortes anunciados por Kast, a los que calificó de tener un “sesgo ideológico”. Según la encuesta semanal de Cadem, el 40% considera que esta será la medida económica más relevante de la nueva administración, pero también la más compleja de implementar.

Robert Funk, doctor en Ciencia Política y académico de la Facultad de Gobierno de la Universidad de Chile, cuestionó en Cooperativa la decisión de Estados Unidos de suspender las visas de tres funcionarios chilenos por el proyecto de cable submarino con China, y señaló que, efectivamente, implica una limitación a la soberanía de nuestro país.

Una aplicación que te lleva por un camino que parece no terminar nunca.Una anciana que canta una canción de cuna a algo que nadie puede ver. Una sonrisa que no pertenece al cuerpo que la sostiene.Y una casa que decide sacar a alguien en plena madrugada. En este episodio de Relatos de la Noche, escucharemos historias que comienzan como algo cotidiano: un viaje por carretera, una caminata después de una fiesta, una reunión entre amigos, una mudanza familiar. Pero basta una decisión —tomar la ruta libre, pasar junto a alguien desconocido, ignorar una sensación incómoda— para que la noche cambie por completo. Escuchen con atención.Porque a veces el verdadero peligro no está en lo que vemos… sino en lo que insiste en acompañarnos. Vayan a seguir a Thiago: https://www.youtube.com/@elrecovecodeThiago21

(Víspera del Día Internacional del Idioma Materno) Ocurrió en el siglo veinte, cuando aún no había correo electrónico ni fax, sino sólo correo aéreo y telegramas. En la sucursal número 15 del correo capitalino de Santiago de Chile, el anciano encargado de la limpieza se distrajo por un instante. Al llenar los tinteros que usaba el público para escribir telegramas, en vez de poner tinta, los llenó de creolina, un líquido negro que usaba para desinfectar los baños y los pisos. El público que durante toda una mañana llegó a la oficina para enviar telegramas notó un olor particular en la «tinta» de los tinteros; sin embargo, como de todos modos servía para escribir, nadie dijo nada. Por fin un empleado que atendía en la ventanilla descubrió el error, y se limpiaron los tinteros y se volvieron a llenar de tinta. El empleado, con aire de filósofo, hizo este gracioso comentario: «Bueno, después de todo hemos estado enviando mensajes desinfectados toda la mañana.» ¡Qué bueno sería que «desinfectáramos» todos los mensajes que transmitimos! Lo cierto es que, como sociedad, vamos de mal en peor en cuanto a la cantidad de palabras sucias que escribimos y pronunciamos. Nuestra lengua y nuestra pluma parecen estar cada vez más cargadas de veneno. Usamos la lengua como si fuera un arma emponzoñada, con el fin de calumniar y difamar al prójimo, manchando así su reputación. Por eso dice el apóstol Santiago: «La lengua es un miembro muy pequeño del cuerpo, pero hace alarde de grandes hazañas. ¡Imagínense qué gran bosque se incendia con tan pequeña chispa!... La lengua es un fuego, un mundo de maldad. Siendo uno de nuestros órganos, contamina todo el cuerpo y, encendida por el infierno, prende a su vez fuego a todo el curso de la vida.»1 Peor aun es cuando vamos más allá de hablar, y escribimos cartas o mensajes anónimos, porque la palabra escrita tiene mayor influencia y permanencia que la palabra hablada. Hay personas que se especializan en enviar mensajes hirientes, calumniosos, de doble sentido, que contienen palabras ambiguas que envenenan las relaciones entre amigos y parientes. Jesucristo, el divino Maestro, nos enseñó que «de la abundancia del corazón habla la boca».2 Es decir, de un corazón emponzoñado salen palabras llenas de veneno. Las palabras que pronunciamos vierten el contenido de nuestra alma, de modo que si en nuestra alma hay maldad, enojo, despecho y resentimiento, eso mismo verterán nuestras palabras. Menos mal que tenemos a nuestra disposición un desinfectante maravilloso, capaz de limpiar perfectamente nuestro corazón. Es la sangre de Jesucristo. Según el apóstol Juan, esa sangre que vertió Cristo por nosotros en la cruz del Calvario «nos limpia de todo pecado».3 Si la aplicamos a nuestro corazón, desinfectará y purificará toda palabra que salga de nuestra boca.

Programa 20/02/26: Perú suma presidente interino con José María Balcázar tras salida de José Jerí. Hablamos de una goleadora histórica de Chile que hoy vive en Adelaide, de Rusia y su presión sobre EE. UU. por el bloqueo a Cuba, y de los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno.

Interview withShane Williams, President & CEO of West Red Lake Gold MinesAlex Black, Executive Chairman of Rio2 Ltd.Recording date: 13th February 2026Rio2 Limited and West Red Lake Gold Mines have successfully transitioned from developers to producers, achieving commercial production after years of navigating construction challenges and capital constraints. In a mid-February 2026 discussion, executives Alex Black of Rio2 and Shane Williams of West Red Lake shared the operational realities facing newly producing mining companies in a favorable commodity price environment.Both executives emphasized the importance of slow, measured ramp-ups rather than rushing to full capacity. This approach allows proper development of operational systems, procedures, safety protocols, and team training alongside physical production increases. Rio2 targets 60,000 to 70,000 ounces in 2026 at its Fenix Gold Project in Chile, with expansion potential to 300,000 ounces annually pending water infrastructure development. West Red Lake sees a pathway to 150,000 ounces annually with relatively modest capital investment for mill expansion.The discussion highlighted significant operational challenges often underappreciated by retail investors. West Red Lake battles extreme cold conditions with January temperatures reaching minus 45 degrees Celsius, where any plant stoppage results in complete mill freezing. Rio2's Fenix Gold operation faces high-altitude cold at nearly 5,000 meters elevation, space constraints in open-pit operations, and the complexity of mining an extinct volcano with three separate peaks.Labor shortages emerged as a critical industry-wide issue. Williams noted that decades of industry struggles have depleted skilled workforces in Canada, Chile, and Australia, with skill levels materially lower than 20 years ago. Both executives stressed that operational success depends primarily on building, empowering, and retaining talented teams willing to work through challenges methodically.The conversation revealed frustration with market dynamics, as development-stage companies with impressive feasibility studies often receive higher valuations than cash-flowing producers. Both executives expect re-rating as they demonstrate consistent quarterly execution. Black predicted significant M&A activity in 2026, with both companies actively pursuing strategic acquisitions while positioning themselves as potential takeover targets within three to five years.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

It's been another frantic week in the world of pro cycling, with early season races in several parts of southern Europe and the Middle East. Tudor Pro Cycling's Larry Warbasse, who began his season at the Tour of Oman, is back in the co-host's seat with Daniel Friebe to review some of the key action and talking points. The most prestigious of the races starting this week, at least according to the UCI's ranking system, is the UAE Tour. Many expected a revealing first head-to-head battle between Remco Evenepoel and Isaac Del Toro, and indeed they emerged from the first three stages with a win apiece. Only one of the pair, though, will have been satisfied with his GC position with the final showdown at Jebel Hafeet to come – and that was Del Toro. Larry and Daniel discuss Evenepoel's struggles at the other Jebel, Mobrah, and ponder what they say about the rest of his season. We also talk about some other prodigious talents that have been in spotlight early this year, wayward leadouts and Pinarello Q36.5's recent trip to Chile, as described to us by Fred Wright.  EPISODE SPONSORSBikmoThis episode of The Cycling Podcast is brought to you by Bikmo cycle insurance – because let's face it, things happen.

Natalia Ball, global chief growth officer at Mars Pet Nutrition joins The Big Impression podcast to talk about how Pedigree transformed a local Brazilian insight into a global business story. She also shares why she is now focused on the next frontier of growth: Connected commerce and making sure brands show up when AI agents, not just people, are making purchasing decisions.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing.Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):This week we're joined by Natalia Ball Global Chief Growth Officer at Mars Pet Nutrition home to brands like Pedigree and Sheba.Damian Fowler (00:18):Last March, pedigree launched a bold, purpose-driven campaign in Brazil celebrating mixed breed dogs, especially the iconic Vela Caramelo.Ilyse Liffreing (00:27):It wasn't just a campaign, it became a movement boosting adoption and challenging long held bias.Damian Fowler (00:35):The work went on to win top honors at the 2025 cans. Lions including the titanium lionIlyse Liffreing (00:41):And its impact is still rippling across markets and media channels worldwide.Damian Fowler (00:45):So today we're unpacking what made it work with the person who helped drive it. Natalia, tell us about the Carello campaign and how you landed on the idea.Natalia Ball (00:57):Carmelos are mixed dogs that are beloved in Brazil. They are found on the streets everywhere. They are the subject of meme, street culture, and people just identify Carmelo as the Brazilian dog. However, the inside that we discover was that this dog is 90% less likely to get adopted than breed dogs. So it is the most popular dog in Brazil, but the most overlooked. And when we learned about that, we decided that we wanted to make a difference and that we wanted this dog to get the position it deserve and pedigree decided to champion the underdog and become the official brand of caramel's in Brazil.Damian Fowler (01:41):You talked about the caramel. Could you just describe a little bit more for people who don't really know the caramelo and that term Vita, where does that come from?Natalia Ball (01:52):Yes, so caramels are basically mixed breed dogs that you can find on the streets of Brazil everywhere they are called caramel because they are caramel color and that's what it is in Spanish and they tend to be that caramel color, short hair. But there are different ways that these dogs look and feel because they are mixed breeds. But like I said, they are beloved dogs in Brazil, but when it comes to getting a pet, getting a dog, they are not the ones that people are going for. They see them as street dogs, not a dog that you have in your house. And the whole campaign was about, like I said, championing these caramels, driving adoption of mixed breed dogs, not only breed dogs. And we did that by saying that if caramels were considered non breeded, pedigree was going to give them a breed and who better to give them a breath than pedigree.Ilyse Liffreing (02:48):Great. And then at what point did you connect that insight to the campaign itself?Natalia Ball (02:54):What you need to know about pedigree? Pedigree is one of the largest dog brands in the world. Pedigree feeds more dogs than any other brand, and it has been there for many years and for the past 20 years or more, pedigree has been driving adoption, encouraging people to adopt pets everywhere. We have had a lot of iconic campaigns so much which maybe you would've heard, like for example, docs on Zoom during COVID or the child replacement program, which was a very interesting one. And we were talking about adoption in Brazil, but other local brands were talking about adoption too. So we were not cutting through and it was only when this insight came to us, which was a very deeply local insight that we made the connection, if we want to drive adoption in Brazil, this is going to be the way in and we're going to make this as big as it can possibly be.(03:51):Because we, from the very beginning saw we understood this idea of the vi Lata. You mentioned it before by the way, the vi lata is how you call mixed breed dogs in Brazil. And so when we had these conversations about this insight, the injustice of this beautiful dog not getting adopted, but also the cultural impact that it would have on resilience themselves, who could see themselves related in the fact that they were being championed, we decided to go really big on this campaign and not only do just an activation, but actually we are doing this campaign. We did it all of last year and we continue activating through this year. And some of the ways in which we championed this was actually by creating a caramel kennel club by creating the first ever caramel DNA testing. And it's the largest ever DNA test done in mos in all of history, kept creating a Carmelo dog show and not only that, putting caramels for the very first time ever on our packs. So it was really a way to give them the rightful place.Ilyse Liffreing (05:01):I love how you guys just took it a step further than even just it being a campaign and you actually adopted it into your packaging and the whole bit. At what point did you realize that the campaign wasn't only just a marketing ploy and it began actually affecting culture?Natalia Ball (05:23):Yeah, I mean this campaign has really changed culture in Brazil, but it was a campaign that was deeply rooted in culture itself because Carmelos were part of Brazilian culture. But when we realized the campaign became bigger than ourselves, absolutely. When it started driving difference in adoption of Carmelos, we saw more than 200% lift of caramelo adoption just in the first month. And we saw a 65% increase in likelihood to adopt a Carmelo in the future with this campaign. And then when we started seeing other brands and other businesses even outside of the pet care category start using the Carmelo in their campaigns in their advertising, that's when we knew this had really hit culture big. An example of that was Chevrolet that actually launched a partnership with Netflix that launched a documentary about caramel, and several launched a caramel or a caramel colored car in a promotion.(06:29):Other brands like Honda or Whirlpool also feature caramels in their advertising. So we started seeing that this became much bigger than ourselves, but maybe the biggest achievement that we had with this campaign other than driving adoption itself, which was the cost at the end of the day, was the fact that we were betting on the mixed pre-doc actually not being accepted in dog shows because only breed dogs are accepted usually in dog shows. But at the end of the day, the movement became so big that after only two weeks of this campaign, the federation that actually controls the dog shows called us and said, we now want to move to accept mixed breed dogs in all of our shows. So that was a huge achievement that we never knew it would be possible.Damian Fowler (07:18):What's really interesting to me about this campaign is the way you focused on one region, one country, one market, but obviously you're a global brand. So how does that connection to the local end up escalating? So it became this global campaign.Natalia Ball (07:35):Like I said, adoption is a huge cost for us, and we have been very consistently on pedigree, driving adoption for a long time. So we have an evergreen brief that goes out to all of our agencies on adoption, and in my case in particular, I am a strong believer in creative excellence as a driver for growth. And so I put a creative excellence program in place that included building capabilities on creative excellence, but also creating a creative council where the best ideas could come faster to the marketing leadership of Mars Pet Nutrition so that we could move at speed, but also we could fund the better ideas. And in this creative council DL map team, Al Map VO, who are the agency that came up with this idea presented Carmelo. And from the very beginning, me and the whole leadership team fell in love with it, and so we decided to fund it.(08:31):We decided to go big and to give it our full support. We knew it had the potential to drive the business and change culture, and I think in this case, the important thing about the campaign, obviously it did a lot of good. So it's a purposeful campaign and pedigree is a purposeful brand, but it was not only about the purpose, it was also about driving business results. Through the campaign in the first couple of months, we were able to grow 15% and through all of last year, we moved to grow volume and value by double digits. So the campaign really did the job about turning around the pedigree brand and delivering results not only on the cost but also on the business.Ilyse Liffreing (09:11):That's great. And you're doing something right when all the other brands out there are copying you guys suddenly in pop culture and everything like that. I'm very curious about as the campaign evolved, obviously it started out from a social aspect, but as it evolved, how did you decide what other channels to bring it into? What other channels did you try out in this process?Natalia Ball (09:42):Yes. Actually this campaign started as social first and we then boosted with media. The way it started is we partner with local influencer called Tata Vernick. She loves caramels and she herself has adopted caramels. And we asked her to register her caramel in a dog show because we knew that her caramel was going to get rejected, which it did. And so she posted on her Instagram that had 60 million followers that she was outraged that her beautiful and smart caramelo could not be accepted in a dog show. This went viral immediately in Brazil and everybody was outraged. This went on the evening news, the morning shows everywhere, and we waited for it to gain enough fire for us to step in. So actually we were planning that this was going to take a couple of days, but at the end we had to act after only 10 hours because this became so big so quickly.(10:41):And we step in and we said, you know what, Tata, don't worry. Pedigrees got you. We're going to give all caramels a breed. And we launched the campaign with our beautiful campaign video that talks about our program of giving them a DNA test, giving them a show, giving them a kennel club and giving them everything that breed dogs have. And then after that, we use that video and we boost the message. The video went viral as well, but we boost the message, for example, with connected TV as well as Prime and Disney, et cetera. So in order to make sure that everybody had listened to it, but it was truly an omni-channel approach because we use a lot of offline tools like for example, the dog show itself that we created or the adoption drive that we had later on where we were invited people to adopt caramels and then online tools like Instagram or Connected TV or Disney, et cetera.Damian Fowler (11:38):You suggested that the kind of timeline got really sped up really fast. So this thing you had to act very quickly. At what point did you realize you had a hit on your hands in a way, and how quickly did it escape the local context and became this bigger campaign that everyone looked at?Natalia Ball (12:01):Yeah, this exceeded all of our expectations. So we knew that it was going to get picked up, but like I said, we were not expecting for this to become so big so fast. And the fact that it appeared in all of the big shows, evening news, morning shows, et cetera, it appeared as well on national media, on print Everywhere meant that we needed to step in faster, but we were fully prepared for that. So that didn't represent the challenge. It was more of an opportunity. And then the other thing that really surprised us was that the largest dog association reached out to us after only 24 hours to partner to see how mixed beat dogs could then be allowed to compete. We were not expecting this. We were expecting actually that to be attention point that we were going to leverage in our campaign, and this became so big that they just couldn't ignore it. So it was a big win just from the very beginning.Damian Fowler (12:57):Wow.Natalia Ball (12:57):Now one of the things that we're seeing is even though this was very, very local, as we have started sharing this work across many other places in the world, we have realized that the insight actually exists in many other markets. For example, in Chile they have a dog called the Quilter, which is the equivalent of the caramel. We have them in Philippines, we have them all over the world. So this insight can travel. The way to activate might be different because you need to localize to the nuance, but we are very excited about the potential of drive more inclusion of these dogs with these campaigns, but also for pedigree to stand stronger in culture.Ilyse Liffreing (13:36):I love that. As a dog owner, myself and owner of a mutt, I'm glad they're getting their time in the spotlight a little bit more around the world. Generally, I feel like post COVID in the marketing world today, some brands have actually moved away from purpose-driven marketing a little bit, but this is a really good example of it done right. What would you say this campaign proved or maybe disproved about purpose-led marketing?Natalia Ball (14:04):I am a strong believer of purposeful brands actually growing stronger, but it only works when it's aligned truly and authentically to the reason for the brand to exist. Pedigree itself, the purpose of the brand is we believe that dogs bring out the best in us, and pedigree wants to bring out the best in dogs. So the purpose of pedigree is pedigree brings out the good dogs bring to the world to do that. We obviously do that with our great nutrition, but we do that by putting dogs in houses so that they can bring out the best in people. That's what we do because we strongly believe that dogs make us better. So that's why we have been driving adoption for more than 20 years. And when you really make this part of your core DNA and it's authentically linked to the brand, that's when it really works.Damian Fowler (14:56):And one of the proof points of that is the awards that you scooped up last year. Can you tell us a little bit more about how that happened? And that must have happened quickly because the campaign rolled out in March, 2025 by June, you're already in the spotlight.Natalia Ball (15:13):Yes. So this campaign was picked up for a lot of awards at Cannes last year. We won the Rainbow, silver, gold and Titanium. The titanium we are very excited about because it's Mars Inc. First ever titanium. So we are really proud of that, and it's also an award that rewards transformation in the creative industry, and we believe this idea was transformational. We're also proud of, I mean, we've got the many other awards, but the other one that we're really proud of is that we got the Grand Phy in the latam phy and in the Brazil phy, which shows that this was not only a creative idea that was very strong, but also a very effective idea in driving the business. So you can achieve both. You can do good in the world, you can drive the business and you can be creative actually. So it's three.Damian Fowler (16:03):Yeah, that's great. I love that trifecta. What happens to the titanium award?Natalia Ball (16:09):Well, I have it right hereIlyse Liffreing (16:10):With me.Damian Fowler (16:12):NoIlyse Liffreing (16:12):Way. Very nice. Beautiful here. It's beautiful.Damian Fowler (16:16):Beautiful. Well, congrats again. So from that, obviously momentum has come on. We've talked a little bit about how it influenced other brands, but in terms of the campaign continuing, what's next? How are you thinking about expanding this?Natalia Ball (16:33):In Brazil itself? We want to stay committed to this idea. We don't want to do one and go, and we are working, we continue activating the campaign through all of our channels. We continue doing adoption drives. For example, very recently we released the results from the DNA research that we did. So we find ways to keep this relevant. But now I think the next stage is to move on from not only caramels but all mixed breed dogs. Because with this campaign, the sentiment has been extremely positive. We got 99% positive sentiment. The only 1% negative comments was what about the other mixed breed dogs? They also deserve to be adopted. They also deserve recognition. So I think that's probably where we're taking it next in Brazil and then outside of Brazil, we are working on, like I said, these inside travels very well, but we're working on how to localize it in a world that feels authentic for the specific markets. I can't share anymore. Stay tuned, because some interesting things are coming soon.Ilyse Liffreing (17:44):And it sounds like that theme is going to keep going with this idea of all putting mutts in the spotlights from now on too.Natalia Ball (17:54):Exactly, yes. This is about inclusion. At the end of the day, our hope is that mutts are shown everywhere. We also love breed dogs. They're great. All dogs deserve to be feature everywhere. So our hope is that this campaign will drive inclusion, inclusion in advertising, inclusion in homes, inclusion everywhere.Damian Fowler (18:16):Another thought I had actually is when you were filming this campaign, did you have any standout caramelo stars?Natalia Ball (18:22):Actually, actually, I think our biggest star was Patas Caramel, which we then did a lot of things with her, I think. I mean, I don't record very well, but I think it was Mia, her name, but we did a lot with her in our activation. She was present when we did the dog show, et cetera. So I think that was our biggest star.Ilyse Liffreing (18:43):Oh, that's great. It can't always be that easy to shoot with dogs though, even if they're very well-trained, I imagine it's still a different world than human actors. So Natalia, what problem are you most obsessed with solving right now?Natalia Ball (18:59):I am right now obsessed with agentic commerce and agentic search and winning the race to thatIlyse Liffreing (19:08):BecauseNatalia Ball (19:09):I'm really concerned that in only a couple of years, if we are not winning, we will completely disappear the way all decisions are going to be made. So together with my team, we're trying to figure out how do we stay ahead of that race and how do we crack it pretty soon, so we're ready future.Ilyse Liffreing (19:26):Wow. And just to press you a little bit more on that, so you're talking about probably using agents on your website directly.Natalia Ball (19:35):It's about we are very good about marketing to people. We have cracked the code on how do we talk to people. We have the best insights in pet care, so we know how to create compelling stories that humans will listen to, but we need to crack how to market to agents, how to market to the machine because they are going to be making a lot of decisions for us in the future, in the very near future. And that's what we're working on.Damian Fowler (20:05):You're talking about media buying specifically on the creative side of itNatalia Ball (20:12):Or the LLM. This is about how do you make your brands show up in searches that are being done on ai? This is how do you make your brands be the ones that get recommended to be bought? So for example, when you're on Cha G PT and you're asking Cha G pt, I got a new puppy, what brands should I buy for my puppy? We want our brands to be the first ones to be recommended if you are going to buy a gift, anything like that, we want our brands to show up and we want our brands to show up in good light. And so that's what we're trying to figure out and to win. There is a combination of how do you have the right content in the right places? How do you get the right third parties to talk about you in the right way? What are the media channels where you need to show up? How do you optimize your search? So it is a very complex way. We need to crack the algorithm basically.Damian Fowler (21:12):On that point, how do you ensure your marketing teams have the right capabilities for success?Natalia Ball (21:19):Well, that's a big priority for me as CGO is one of my main jobs is to make sure that we're building capabilities for today and for the future. So in my team, we have a strong capabilities program where each and every one of the people on my team owns a capability and owns making sure that we get best in class content training and as well as the tools, because it's not only the knowledge, it's also the tools in order to do that. But the reality is that none of this works unless you are creating a culture of curiosity. And I really want to instill that in myself and in my teams because the industry is changing so fast. The minute you think you have cracked something, there is a new challenge. And the only way to stay fresh, the only way to stay in line with what's happening is to be curious. Whenever you don't know anything, go and ask someone who knows, go and ask questions like really try to learn instead of fearing the change, be curious about the change, and that's the way that we will build future proof capabilities.Ilyse Liffreing (22:22):Beyond ai, how do you see the role of connected commerce in the pet industry? Are there any other channels, for instance, that you're testing out? I'm thinking of are you testing shopping ads on CTV or any of that?Natalia Ball (22:40):Connected commerce is extremely important for us in pet care. The reason for that is because this category is one of the highest engagement categories that there are out there. People are making decisions for living beings, and they need to do deep research in order to make those decisions because they have real consequences. And so people are very engaged in reading through rating and reviews, and connected commerce gives us an opportunity to connect better with pet parents in those moments that matter most. We also, when it comes to pet care, a lot of our products come in huge bags that are hard to carry. So actually the fact that the convenience of those bags getting delivered at home make so that digital commerce becomes really important in our category. And so what we're trying to is to really help consumers navigate the pet parent journey and moving from content to commerce in a seamless way so that they can make the best decisions for their pets and that we are helping them along the journey to make those decisions.Damian Fowler (23:46):Okay, here's another, what's one marketing rule? This campaign, the Caramelo campaign happily ignored.Natalia Ball (23:52):The one rule that we happily ignore is about keeping your distinctive memory structures consistent because pedigree has always had a golden retriever on its pack. But with the Caramel campaign, we thought that it would be hypocritical of us to feature a breed dog while we were championing a mixed breed dog. So for the first time ever in history, we changed our pack and we feature a caramel, and this made the news again. And this was a huge bold move that we made and that made the campaign even more authentic and more powerful.Ilyse Liffreing (24:28):Now we have a fun one for you. Personal one really. Are dogs better than cats when it comes to brand lift?Natalia Ball (24:36):Oh, when it comes to brand lift, well, actually both are great for brand Lift. We actually have studies that show that when you feature cats or dogs in advertising, attention significantly increases emotional connection, significantly increases. This is why you see a lot of brands that are not in the pet care space featuring cats and dogs. They are both fantastic. Cats are more powerful in meme culture, as you probably know. They are huge in meme culture. And then dogs are some of the biggest stars in social media today. Some of the biggest accounts on social media are dogs accounts. So we are lucky that we get to work in this beautiful category because people want to see dogs and cats. I myself have a dog. My dog's name is Bella. She's been with us for three years and she's great. But the more I work in this category, the more I'm falling in love with cats as well because they are so particular and so unique. So yeah, both are fantastic.Damian Fowler (25:45):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (25:47):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by love and caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns.Damian Fowler (25:54):And remember,Natalia Ball (25:55):You can do good in the world, you can drive the business, and you can be creative.Damian Fowler (26:00):I'm Damian.Ilyse Liffreing (26:01):and I'm IlyseDamian Fowler (26:01):And we'll see you next time.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Chile's Atacama Desert is one of the driest places on earth – often likened to Mars. It is also home to piles of dumped clothes from fast fashion labels across the world. Because it is so dry nothing decomposes. And that means that clothes ditched 10 to 20 years ago still look recognisable. Sometimes the mountains of clothes are burnt causing toxic fumes which harm the local community of Alto Hospicio. This environmental crisis has been going on for years. It is a complex situation with multiple players involved. But different groups are starting to take action. Jane Chambers travels to the Atacama Desert to meet activists and locals trying to raise awareness. An enormous giant – El Gigante Vestido – is being created in the desert out of used clothes to get people talking. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

Esta noche, la comunidad nos lleva a esos lugares que aparecen cuando ya es tarde para tomar otra decisión: moteles de carretera, pasillos sin luz, recepciones vacías… y habitaciones que nadie quiere abrir. En estas historias, el terror no llega con un monstruo, llega con algo peor: la sensación de que entraste a donde no debías, y de que alguien —o algo— ya te estaba esperando desde antes. Viajaremos por tramos solitarios, por ciudades donde lo cotidiano se tuerce de golpe, y por casas que guardan secretos detrás de un candado. Y cuando creas que ya pasó lo peor… vas a entender por qué hay puertas que se cierran no para protegerte, sino para encerrarte. Apaga la luz. Y no te asomes demasiado. Estás escuchando Relatos de la Noche.
