2btube, which says it’s the fastest growing MCN in the world, will be in charge of managing and growing Aiono’s YouTube channel as well as marketing his personal brand in Spanish-speaking territories, which comprise roughly 500 million prospective viewers. “We will also enable Alex to connect more closely with his European audiences through branded content, participation in movies, sponsorships, book publishing, and other innovative opportunities,” said 2btube president Bastian Manintveld

in a statement.

Aiono is working on original music with a soon-to-be-announced label partner for a 2017 release and recently launched a Pledge campaign to promote his upcoming album. He is also a frequent on-air host and personality for Radio Disney.

2btube, which has offices in Madrid, Miami, and Mexico City, also hosts a summer camp that teaches teens how to be YouTube stars.
