We had the good fortune of connecting with kenia Basilis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi kenia, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?

Live on time is one of my favorite affirmation. I do not take anything as a guarantee. I believe that every day is an opportunity to continue growing and contributing to this world through serving and inspiring others, living on time means appreciating and embracing the processes we have including the difficult challenges that life hands us.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

The mission of our business is to be the bridge between other communities and the Hispanic one. Companies that wish to make themselves known in the Hispanic market, we create their brand and guide them throughout the advertising campaign on television, radio and digital media. We are excited to see the success process of companies that start and then grow their brand and income through advertising, it is very satisfying to be able to contribute and guide companies in the world of marketing. I started the business knocking on doors and making phone calls to companies explaining the importance of advertising in the Latin media, at first it was very exhausting because nobody knew me and they did not believe in the potential of the Latin market in the United States, I set myself the goal of having 10 clients with 6-month advertising contracts and work hard to achieve it.
Our main goal at Basilis empire is for the client to obtain results that can grow their client portfolio.
integrity is the basis of our company and the collaborators who work with us have to work under that term.
Having been in the market for more than 15 years facing many challenges such as the pandemic, it has not been easy. The key has been the focus, the effort to be proactive, to innovate every year, including other services for our clientsWe overcome challenges, creating new alternatives for clients and focusing on solutions, not on the problem. One of the most important lessons I have learned in this industry is understanding cultures and being able to explain to our clients the difference in mentality when promoting their product in the Hispanic market. We have Asian, Arab, European clients who do not understand much about the Latin world, that is our job.
Basilis Empire​,​ is a multicultural company that adapts to different budgets we work with small and large companies and we always provide the same quality for us the budget does not determine the quality of our workMy experience as an international journalist and producer has given me the possibility of creating productions that also have a more direct and human message, the client can connect with the audience and make themselves known in a more integrated way, Basilis Empire is the link for the hispanic community​.​

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We are in the capital of the United States, the first thing I would do if I have a visitor from abroad is to show them the museums, the white House. Of course I would take them to dinner to show them the city at night. If we have time, I would love for you to get to know the Shenandoah Mountains.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?

On the way to our business development we always find mentors who support and believe in your talent. Ricardo Castellanos was my great teacher and he believed in me when I arrived in this country. I must emphasize that without the support of Beba, who raised and educated me, none of this would have been possible. Her unconditional support and love was crucial for my development.
