Kantar IBOPE Media
This Zavia.ai record identifies “Kantar IBOPE Media” as a Panama-jurisdiction company (Registro Publico de Panama, internal source reference 217513862), shown with an Active status. The registry extract behind this record does not disclose a registration number, legal form, or incorporation date, and the underlying government filing could not be independently retrieved for verification during this review.
Separately, Panama’s commercial registry is known to hold a sociedad anonima with Mercantil Folio No. 304206 (S), incorporated in the mid-1990s and shown as active in third-party Panama registry aggregators under the earlier name IBOPE Panama, S.A. Several employment platforms, business directories and data aggregators list the same folio under the name Kantar IBOPE Media Panama, S.A., consistent with the 2014-2015 rebrand that followed Kantar/WPP’s acquisition of a majority stake in Brazil’s IBOPE Media. That entity is associated with an office at Calle Aquilino de la Guardia, Torre Banco General, Piso 22, Oficina 2201, Bella Vista, Panama City, and Panamanian trade media report that it operates a television and video audience-measurement panel in Panama, expanded in 2023 to roughly 1,385 households covering about 91% of urban TV households.
This review could not confirm, from a primary government-registry source, that the folio 304206 entity and this specific database record (company ID 217513862) are the same underlying registry filing. The matching name, country and industry are suggestive but do not by themselves prove entity identity, and a shared brand name or website is not treated as proof of a match. The connection between this record and the operating Kantar IBOPE Media business in Panama described above should be read as probable but unverified.
Kantar IBOPE Media is the trading name used across several Latin American markets for audience-measurement and media-research services built on Brazil’s IBOPE (Instituto Brasileiro de Opiniao Publica e Estatistica, founded 1942), following Kantar/WPP’s 2014-2015 acquisition of a majority stake in IBOPE Media. That broader, multi-country business description is provided as background only and should not be read as a description of this specific Panama-registered record’s own filed activities.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Kantar IBOPE Media
The Zavia.ai registry extract for this Panama-jurisdiction record (company ID 217513862) reports that shareholder information for companies of this type, including sociedades anonimas, is filed privately with resident agents under Panama’s Beneficial Ownership Registry, and that public access to that filing is restricted. No shareholder names, share classes or ownership percentages are available from this source for this specific record, and none were located through independent research for this review.
Separately, no publicly filed shareholder list was located for the closely related, well-documented Panama entity operating as Kantar IBOPE Media Panama, S.A. (formerly IBOPE Panama, S.A., Mercantil Folio No. 304206 (S)). Panama sociedades anonimas are not required to file a public shareholder register; beneficial-ownership data is instead held by the resident agent and reported only to Panama’s central Private Beneficial Ownership Registry, which is not open to public search.
Data availability
Availability: Restricted. Panama’s Private Beneficial Ownership Registry holds shareholder and beneficial-ownership information for sociedades anonimas, but this information is not publicly searchable; it is accessible only to the resident agent and, on request, to competent Panamanian authorities. The absence of public shareholder data here should not be read as evidence that the company has no shareholders.
Officers
Directors and officers of Kantar IBOPE Media
The Zavia.ai registry extract for this Panama record (company ID 217513862) does not include officer or director data; the source notes only that officer and director disclosure availability varies by jurisdiction and that a filing may not have been captured for this record. No officers, directors, or legal representatives are named on file here.
Panama’s Registro Publico requires sociedades anonimas to record dignatarios (officer roles such as President, Secretary and Treasurer) and directors at incorporation and on subsequent changes. Third-party Panama registry aggregators show a “Directores” section for the related Mercantil Folio No. 304206 (S) filing (IBOPE Panama, S.A. / Kantar IBOPE Media Panama, S.A.), but that section sits behind paid access and could not be reviewed for this profile. No director or officer names can therefore be confirmed for this record, and none should be assumed from the absence of a public listing.
Data availability
Availability: Restricted. Panama’s commercial registry appears to hold dignatario and director records for the related Mercantil Folio No. 304206 (S) filing, but the underlying document was not accessible during this review. Should officer names eventually be obtained, nationality and residence must never be inferred from a name or from a Panama correspondence address.
Group Structure
Group structure of Kantar IBOPE Media
The Zavia.ai registry extract for this Panama record (company ID 217513862) reports no parent, subsidiary or ownership linkage on file, which the source registry generally attributes to either a single, unlinked entity or the absence of a recorded corporate-group filing.
Kantar IBOPE Media is a trading name used by an audience-measurement and media-research business operating across several Latin American markets (including Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Colombia and parts of Central America), built on Brazil’s IBOPE and majority-acquired by Kantar/WPP in 2014-2015. A Panama-registered entity trading as Kantar IBOPE Media Panama, S.A. (earlier named IBOPE Panama, S.A., Mercantil Folio No. 304206 (S)) is documented in Panamanian business directories, employment listings and trade press as operating the group’s Panama office and its television/video audience-measurement panel.
No official filing, annual report, or registry document reviewed for this profile directly confirms that this specific database record (company ID 217513862) is the same legal filing as the folio 304206 entity, or that either is formally linked in a filed ownership chain to Kantar or WPP group holding entities elsewhere. The relationship between this record and the broader Kantar IBOPE Media / Kantar Group is therefore best described as a possible relationship (unverified) rather than a confirmed parent-subsidiary link.
Data availability
Availability: Not found. No verified corporate-linkage filing was located for this specific record. The absence of a confirmed group filing does not indicate that the company is independent of the Kantar group, only that no primary-source ownership document was accessible for this review.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kantar IBOPE Media's registered jurisdiction according to this record?
This record is registered in Panama, per the Registro Publico de Panama (source registry reference 217513862), with a status shown as Active. No registration number, legal form, or incorporation date is disclosed in this specific registry extract.
Is this Panama entity confirmed to be part of the Kantar IBOPE Media / Kantar Group?
Not with full certainty. A well-documented Panama entity trades as Kantar IBOPE Media Panama, S.A. (Mercantil Folio No. 304206 (S)), previously named IBOPE Panama, S.A., and is described in business directories and Panamanian trade press as the group's Panama office. However, no primary government-registry document reviewed for this profile confirms that this specific database record (company ID 217513862) is the same legal filing as that folio, so the relationship should be treated as probable but unverified, not confirmed.
What does Kantar IBOPE Media do generally?
Kantar IBOPE Media is the trading name of an audience-measurement and media-research business operating across several Latin American markets, providing TV, radio, video and advertising-investment measurement services. It originated from Brazil's IBOPE (founded 1942) following Kantar/WPP's 2014-2015 acquisition of a majority stake.
Does a Kantar IBOPE Media entity operate in Panama?
Yes. Independent sources, including Panamanian trade media, describe an operating television and video audience-measurement panel in Panama associated with the Kantar IBOPE Media brand, expanded in 2023 to roughly 1,385 households covering about 91% of urban TV households.
Where is the Panama office of the related entity located?
Business directories list an office at Calle Aquilino de la Guardia, Torre Banco General, Piso 22, Oficina 2201, Bella Vista, Panama City. This address is associated with the folio 304206 entity and has not been independently confirmed against this specific database record.
Are the shareholders of this Panama record publicly available?
No. Panama's Private Beneficial Ownership Registry restricts public access to shareholder and beneficial-ownership filings for sociedades anonimas. This record's own registry extract confirms that shareholder data is filed privately with a resident agent rather than published.
Are the directors or officers of this record publicly listed?
No director or officer data is available for this record. A "Directores" section exists for the related Mercantil Folio No. 304206 (S) filing in third-party Panama registry aggregators, but it sits behind paid access and was not reviewed for this profile.
What is the legal form of this record?
Not disclosed in the source registry extract for this specific record. The closely related, publicly documented Panama entity (folio 304206) is registered as a Sociedad Anonima (S.A.).
When was this record incorporated?
Not disclosed in the source registry extract for this specific record. The related folio 304206 entity is shown by third-party Panama registry aggregators as incorporated in the mid-1990s.
Is there a confirmed parent company for this record?
No parent company is confirmed by any primary source reviewed. Kantar IBOPE Media's global rebrand followed Kantar/WPP's 2014-2015 acquisition of a majority stake in Brazil's IBOPE Media, but no filed ownership document ties this specific Panama record into that corporate chain.
Why does this profile describe the Kantar Group link as a "possible relationship (unverified)"?
Because the identification rests on matching name, country and industry rather than on a registry document, filed accounts, or an official Kantar/WPP subsidiary disclosure naming this specific company ID. A shared brand name or website domain alone is not treated as proof of entity identity.
Were any corrupted or unescaped character sequences found in this record's existing data?
No literal backslash-u or backslash-x style corrupted character sequences were found in this record's existing shareholder, officer, or group placeholder text during this review.
