YAi Makes BusinessCloud’s MediaTech 50 Ranking for 2025

Innovation ranking celebrates UK businesses creating breakthrough technologies for media and the arts

We’re proud to announce that YAi has been named one of the UK’s most innovative media technology companies in the MediaTech 50 ranking for 2025, published today by BusinessCloud.

The list recognises the top 50 UK-based companies creating original technologies to transform the production and delivery of media and the arts - from virtual worlds and AI content creation to music, film, publishing, digital storytelling and beyond.

YAi earned its place on the list for its AI-powered platform, ContentLift, which helps marketers evaluate and enhance the quality of AI-generated content across text, images and video. By providing smart feedback and real-time optimisation - without the need for prompt engineering - YAi empowers marketing teams to produce content that is clear, credible and creatively on-brand.

“This year’s MediaTech 50 recognises technology serving everything from the music, audio and games industries to digital humans, virtual worlds and social media tools,” said Jonathan Symcox, editor of BusinessCloud.

“It is a real melting pot. It is our pleasure to shine a light on 50 amazing innovators from all corners of the UK.”

The ranking was decided through a combination of reader votes and selections by a panel of expert judges, following a public vote on an 82-strong shortlist.

The judging panel included:

  • Simon Benson, Creator, PlayStation VR / Founder, TalentForTech
  • Laura Harper, Partner, Lewis Silkin
  • Nick Donaghy, Investment Manager, Creative UK
  • Rory Daniels, Senior Programme Manager – Emerging Technologies, techUK
  • Jonathan Symcox, Editor, BusinessCloud

This recognition marks an exciting milestone for YAi, as we continue our mission to make generative AI content not just faster - but better, by raising the bar for quality, creativity and trust.
