Will AI write the journalism?

No. We do not build systems to replace reporters or editors. We build systems that remove the operational drag so editors can commission more and reporters can report more. Editorial judgement stays with humans.

How do you handle IPSO and Ofcom obligations?

AI outputs that touch published content go through the same editorial governance as human-produced content. We build pre-publication checks and the audit trail IPSO and Ofcom complaints would ask for.

What systems do you integrate with?

Common CMS (Arc XP, WordPress VIP, bespoke platforms), DAM platforms, Google Ad Manager, Piano and Zephr paywalls, and the newsletter/CRM stacks publishers actually run. Integration effort varies by stack age.

Can this work for B2B information businesses too?

Yes, and often with higher ROI. B2B information has denser metadata, richer user signals, and more willingness-to-pay — agents layered onto that produce measurable commercial lift quickly.

How do you handle copyright and training-data concerns?

We do not train on client content unless there is a specific contracted purpose and clear rights. Most of our work uses retrieval-augmented approaches that reference content rather than absorbing it.

How quickly does a publisher see impact?

Editorial-ops metrics and ad-ops throughput move inside a quarter. Audience and subscription metrics move over several cycles because the decision feedback loop is longer.

AI for Media & Publishing

Media and publishing businesses live at the intersection of creative judgement and operational scale — a newsroom makes editorial decisions dozens of times an hour, an ad operations team balances thousands of campaigns a day, and a rights team manages catalogues that outlive any individual editor. Agentic AI does not replace editorial judgement, but it can absolutely take the operational drag off the people exercising it.

We work with UK publishers, broadcasters, independent media groups and B2B information businesses on the surfaces where agents realistically help — editorial support, rights and metadata, advertising operations, and audience intelligence.

Every engagement opens with an AI Readiness Assessment that maps your CMS, DAM, ad stack and audience data — because in media, the fragmentation of the tooling is the real cost, not any individual tool.

Challenges We Solve

Editorial workflows drown in repetitive tasks

Fact-checking, related-story linking, tagging, headline testing, and social drafting eat editorial hours that should go to reporting and commissioning.

Rights and metadata discipline breaks at scale

As catalogues grow, rights clearance, licensing status, and metadata completeness drift. The cost shows up as missed monetisation and occasional legal surprises.

Ad operations never get ahead of the problems

Campaign setup, pacing, creative approval, and delivery diagnostics all compete for ad ops attention. The inventory side works; the problem-solving side is chronically behind.

Audience data is rich but rarely actionable

First-party data, paywall signals, newsletter engagement and CRM all exist — but rarely drive the next editorial or commercial decision in anything like real time.

How AI Transforms Media & Publishing

Agentic Editorial, Rights and Ad Ops

We build agents that own specific media workflows end-to-end. An editorial assistant agent handles routine fact-checking, related-article linking, headline testing and social drafting — always with an editor in the loop. A rights and metadata agent keeps catalogue records coherent, flags expiring licences, and maintains metadata to the quality your systems need. An ad ops agent handles campaign setup QA, pacing alerts and creative-approval routing. See our agentic AI.

AI-Powered Audience and Content Intelligence

The data is fragmented across CMS, paywall, CRM, newsletter and ad server. We build pipelines that unify those feeds into per-article, per-segment intelligence — what to commission next, what to surface on the homepage, what to send to which newsletter segment. Our data AI patterns respect the publisher reality: high cardinality on content IDs, seasonal volatility, and the attention economics that actually drive monetisation.

IPSO, Ofcom, Accessibility and UK GDPR Monitoring

Media compliance surfaces — IPSO editorial codes, Ofcom broadcast rules, accessibility obligations (EAA, WCAG), UK GDPR across audience data, and the evolving Online Safety Act posture — are usually monitored in cycles. We build continuous monitoring instead, so pre-publication checks happen as a matter of course rather than a retrospective review. See our AI governance approach.

Audience, Subscription and Revenue Forecasting

Publishers need forecasts that reconcile: audience growth, subscription churn and acquisition, ad revenue by channel, and content performance by category. We build forecasting pipelines that produce coherent numbers across those horizons — trained on your data, not industry benchmarks that never fit any individual publisher. Our applied AI forecasting work is operational.
