EKCS, a global leader in creative production solutions for brands, agencies and media companies, launches Mediaferry AI, an innovative platform to transform digital ad operations and enhance publisher-advertiser relationships.
With over two decades of market-leading support for global publishing and broadcasting clients like McClatchy, Postmedia, National World, Tegna, and Scripps, EKCS has developed Mediaferry AI to meet the needs of publishers, broadcasters and retail media worldwide. This service provides a self-serve opportunity to sales teams and advertisers, from creative briefing to AI-assisted asset creation, approval and campaign activation using a centralised system.
“The Mediaferry AI solution is a breakthrough for publishers and advertisers,” says Tariq Husain, EKCS co-founder, and Mediaferry’s Chief Technologist. “Developed in close collaboration with some of our longest-standing clients, it accelerates campaign launches and gives sales teams and advertisers unprecedented control over the creative production, approval, and delivery process. Our goal is to help publishers build stronger relationships with their advertisers while significantly reducing time-to-market for campaigns.”
