Mediaferry wins “AI Platform of the Year” at the 2026 Stevie® Awards for technology excellence

Q: What is Mediaferry?

Mediaferry is an AI Creative Operations Platform that scales creative production by blending human-led creativity with AI-driven automation in a unified workflow. It connects brief intake, studios, approvals, and publishing into a single production engine.

Q: Who is Mediaferry for?

Mediaferry serves brands & in-house agencies to help scale in-house creative production without growing their studio, agencies to deliver more work without increasing headcount, and news publishers to create ads and close deals faster.

Q: How does Mediaferry differ from other design tools and AI platforms?

General AI platforms solve only parts of creative production. Mediaferry unifies the entire creative production workflow in a single platform - from brief to approved assets to published output, all in one system.

Q: How does Mediaferry help brands scale creative production?

For brands and in-house agencies, Mediaferry solves the growth paradox: You need more assets to compete in more channels and markets, but scaling your studio is expensive and slow. Mediaferry scales your creative production output without adding headcount, reduces studio dependency by automating routine work, helps launch campaigns faster while maintaining brand consistency, and reduces cost per asset.

Q: What results do publishers achieve with Mediaferry?

Revenue leaders achieve shorter sales cycles and consistent brand quality. They benefit from 35% faster campaign launches, 40% reductions in ad costs, and fewer errors overall. Sales teams present finished creatives during the same call, boosting conversions without adding headcount and directly capturing revenue lost to slow processes.

Q: Can Mediaferry integrate with our existing tools?

Yes. Mediaferry sits beneath existing creative workflows to connect the full production lifecycle. It integrates with all leading design tools, workflow management platforms, DAMs, publishing platforms, approval systems. It doesn't replace your existing tools. It orchestrates them into a unified production engine.

Q: Is there a free trial or demo available on Mediaferry?

Yes. Mediaferry offers live product demo, hands-on trial and custom proof of concept. Test Mediaferry on your actual workflows. Request a demo.

Q: How does pricing work on Mediaferry?

Mediaferry offers flexible pricing across its platform and AI services, designed to align with how creative and marketing teams actually operate. Depending on the product, pricing may be based on users, production outcomes, platform access, or managed AI assistant capacity. This allows organizations to start small, scale usage over time, and match costs to operational value and production volume. Additional services such as integrations, custom workflows, storage, and human-in-the-loop support are scoped separately where required.

Q: How does Mediaferry handle data security?

Mediaferry takes security seriously with enterprise-grade protections including encryption, access control, audit logs, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR compliance and regular security audits. Your creative assets remain your property. Mediaferry never uses your content for model training or any other purpose.

Mediaferry wins AI Platform of the Year at the 2026 Stevie® Awards. Built on publisher feedback to help news publishers scale creative operations faster.

August 3, 2026August 3, 2026

Over the past few years, we’ve listened to publisher feedback and continuously evolved Mediaferry to solve the operational challenges creative teams face every day.

Today, we are proud to share that Mediaferry has won the AI platform of the year award at the 2026 Stevie® Awards for Technology Excellence. It honors Mediaferry as a purpose-built AI creative operations platform for news publishers.

What we are most proud of is that we have used every piece of feedback to improve Mediaferry over the years. This means it is shaped by the publishers who use it every day. Focus: AI platform of the year.

This year, the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence evaluated more than 700 nominations from organizations across 37 nations and territories. Entries were reviewed by more than 180 technology and business professionals serving as judges. We’re proud to be part of a 2026 winners’ list that includes other leading names in the industry, judged across categories spanning AI, information technology, fintech, healthcare technology, and more.

“Most creative workflows are built around disconnected systems. One tool manages assets, another handles approvals, and teams spend time moving information between them instead of creating value. Mediaferry brings those pieces together: automated production, built-in quality checks, connected workflows, and human oversight at every stage. That’s what helps news publishers create more campaigns, maintain consistency, and deliver faster without adding unnecessary complexity.”
Tariq Hussain, Founder & Software Architect, Mediaferry

Built for revenue-focused news publishers

Advertisers want faster turnaround and more creative support, while we stretch production teams thin to keep up. Hiring more designers isn’t always realistic, and reducing creative services can put advertiser relationships at risk.

Mediaferry offers a smarter alternative. It accelerates revenue and protects margins by transforming multimedia ad briefs into live digital and print campaigns in a fraction of the time. AI-powered production automation handles repetitive production tasks, allowing creative teams to focus on higher-value work, sales teams to respond faster, and advertisers to enjoy a better overall experience.

The impact has been measurable, faster campaign launches, reduction in ad costs, and fewer errors along the way.

Sales teams are now presenting finished creative in the same call, capturing revenue that used to slip away during slow turnarounds.

Mediaferry was never meant to replace creative teams. It’s designed to help publishers scale creative output without scaling costs, so human judgment stays exactly where it’s needed most.

This recognition as an AI platform of the year reflects our commitment to building an AI creative operations platform that helps news publishers solve a real challenge: delivering high-quality creative at speed without increasing production costs.We’re grateful to our clients for their trust and to our team for continuing to innovate.

Publishers including Newsquest, McClatchy, Vocento, Postmedia, and Iconic Media continue to use Mediaferry to transform their ad operations, producing more assets faster without expanding their studio teams.
