Today, Jose runs multiple ventures including, a fast-growing e-commerce brand, and Local Media Lab.
As the founder of Local Media Lab, he’s on a mission to make cutting-edge AI both accessible and impactful for the entrepreneurs and small business owners driving our communities forward.
It all started in 2011, when I launched Local Media Lab (the first iteration), a small social media marketing agency designed to help local businesses navigate the fast-changing digital world. That early work opened doors — including an opportunity to join Discovery Channel’s social media team — and eventually led me into the heart of the media and entertainment industry.
Over the next decade, I took on senior roles in the digital space at NBCUniversal, working with powerhouse brands like E! Entertainment, Telemundo, and Syfy. I later became Managing Director of a global marketing agency, partnering with some of the world’s most iconic media & entertainment companies.
Yet no matter how far I climbed in the corporate sphere, I never lost my affinity for the doers and dreamers who power our local economies - the same spirit my family and I carried through every small-business challenge and triumph.
That’s why I relaunched Local Media Lab with a renewed mission.
Our goal is simple:
To bring the power of leading-edge AI technology to small businesses — in a way that’s done-for-you, affordable, and designed to drive real growth.
Because we believe small businesses deserve big tools — and a partner who has lived their journey and truly understands what it takes to grow.
Local Media Lab helps small business owners stop losing leads and revenue by providing a 24/7 AI assistants that answer calls, follows up, manage reviews, and reactivate old leads — all in a done-for-you systems that feel personal, not robotic.
Get the power of a full team — without the payroll.
