PlateaPR: Your Digital Placita for Living Puerto Rico
PlateaPR is more than a digital media platform; it's a movement transforming how Puerto Ricans live, understand, and create the future of their island. Since its launch in 2020, Platea has established itself as Puerto Rico's leading lifestyle and entertainment platform, building a community of over 1.2 million users seeking authentic connections with their island.
Platea is the definitive guide for living Puerto Rico, not just living in Puerto Rico. This distinction defines the platform's philosophy: it's not simply about being in a space, but experiencing it to its fullest for those who live there and visit.
Under the leadership of Selymar Colón, the business's General Director, Platea builds community and facilitates Puerto Rican life by providing useful information and inspiring citizens through the content they consume.
The platform focuses on four fundamental pillars: Culture, Country, Wellness, and Sports. Each approached from an educational and opportunity angle with explanatory guides, relevant information, and research, with the purpose of helping consumers discover and decide.
PlateaPR offers a complete digital ecosystem to discover and experience Puerto Rico:
"This is our Puerto Rico and in our Puerto Rico we will elevate our people, our businesses, our communities, and what makes us proud, betting on changing the narrative," stated Selymar Colón during Platea's second Upfront in November 2025.
PlateaPR continues to evolve. Among its featured initiatives:
As a Red Ventures company, PlateaPR is part of the Forward PR portfolio, a broader movement dedicated to Puerto Rico's economic and social development. With every article, guide, and tool, Platea reaffirms its purpose: to be the guide for Puerto Ricans to live their island with pride, convenience, and community.
