Inspiring Conversations with Paola Camacho of Kaptura Media

Today we’d like to introduce you to Paola Camacho

Hi Paola, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I am from Bogotá, Colombia. As a professional in television production and journalism, I’ve always dreamed of running my own business. Despite the challenges of the industry, in 2015, I moved to the United States to study and better prepare myself to achieve this goal. During my journey, I met my husband, Luis Contreras, who already had a video and photography production business for events. I began my career here with an internship at Mundo Hispanico, now known as MundoNow. This opportunity allowed me to delve deeper into the audiovisual field, creating reports and various content for the company. Together, Luis and I ventured into the corporate sector and founded Kaptura Media. Through Kaptura Media, we have collaborated with numerous companies, producing photographic and audiovisual content. Our work with MundoNow has earned us seven Emmy South East awards. We have had the privilege of working on projects for companies like Ambetter, Oscar, Lala Foods, Univision, Telemundo, and in my role as Executive Producer at MundoNow, I produced, scripted, and managed audiovisual content for brands like Crest, Coca-Cola, Rocket Mortgage, McDonald’s, Georgia Power, and GDBHDD, among others. Currently, my husband and I are dedicated to growing and enhancing Kaptura Media, striving to support more companies in transforming their ideas and messages into reality every day.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Being an entrepreneur is never an easy journey. Many believe that owning a business will provide freedom, more time, and the luxury of not answering to a boss. However, the reality is often the opposite. Having your own business means being available 24/7, sacrificing countless family moments, and navigating numerous hurdles, especially as an immigrant. Despite these challenges, I am profoundly grateful to God and to everyone who has supported us in turning this dream into a reality.
