EKCS, a global leader in creative production solutions for brands, agencies, and media companies, has announced the launch of Mediaferry AI, an innovative platform designed to transform digital ad operations for publishers, broadcasters, and retail media globally. This new platform aims to enhance the creative production process while fostering stronger collaborations between publishers and advertisers.
Building on over two decades of experience supporting major publishing and broadcasting clients such as McClatchy, Postmedia, National World, Tegna, and Scripps, EKCS has developed Mediaferry AI to meet the evolving needs of the industry. The platform offers a self-serve model for sales teams and advertisers, simplifying the process from creative briefing to AI-assisted asset creation, approval, and campaign activation, all within a centralised system.
Tariq Husain, EKCS co-founder and Chief Technologist at Mediaferry, described the platform as a breakthrough for publishers and advertisers. “Developed in close collaboration with some of our long-standing clients, Mediaferry AI accelerates campaign launches and gives unprecedented control over the entire creative production process,” he said. “Our goal is to help publishers strengthen relationships with advertisers while dramatically reducing the time-to-market for campaigns.”
