Etecé Publishing House began its journey in 2013 with the launch of Concepto. The idea behind the project was to create a website that would provide definitions with a more comprehensive approach than a dictionary, yet simpler than an academic encyclopedia, making it accessible to teenagers and children of different ages.
Over time, we came up with the idea of creating more portals to address other interests and follow different approaches. As a result, we decided to launch two new websites: one of characteristics (Características) and another of examples (Ejemplos).
The growing demand for online content at the time brought about the need to restructure both the publishing house and its workflow. Thus, the team expanded with new members, and internal processes were streamlined according to the new roles and the growing market demands.
In 2019, we understood that our websites could eventually evolve into encyclopedias accessible to the general public. We therefore decided to focus on the specificities of each one: Concepto would address definitions, providing a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of subject matters that are hard to explain; Características would deal with subjects through the breakdown and description of their distinctive features; while Ejemplos would provide clear and original lists of examples to help understand and tackle any topic.
That same year, we created our brand, and thus was Etecé Publishing House officially born. Initially, we concentrated our efforts on strengthening our identity, defining our values, and establishing our own way of working. In the course of time, we began to identify new growth opportunities.
It was thus that in 2022 we decided on a change of perspective and approach to the content of Características through a strategic repositioning involving a rebranding under the name Enciclopedia de Humanidades (Encyclopedia of Humanities), the migration to Humanidades.com domain, and a shift in focus to concentrate exclusively on the creation and dissemination of content concerning the social sciences. At the same time, we modernized Ejemplos portal through a new design and the adoption of the name it bears today: Enciclopedia de Ejemplos.
In 2023, we decided to embark on a new project: la Enciclopedia del Lenguaje (Encyclopedia of the Spanish Language), with the ambitious goal of making it the most trusted encyclopedia for all subject matters concerning the Spanish language and Spanish literature. Thus, from its very outset and with all our previous experience, this encyclopedia was created under the highest quality standards. It boasts a large team of editors and language specialists who create, peer review, and update its content on a regular basis.
Along this journey, we have capitalized on the lessons learned after so many years in the education content industry, and have reaffirmed our commitment to our readers, continuously streamlining team selection and other processes to provide the most reliable content online. Furthermore, we have decided to cross the barriers of the Spanish-speaking world by translating most of our content into English and Portuguese, with the clear aim of reaching more and more readers every day.
It is at the heart of Etecé Publishing House to continually enhance our quality assurance and quality control processes to make sure we are able rise to the constant challenges posed by the market in which we operate.
