BeyondWords partners with Ringier Media Switzerland

BeyondWords has partnered with Ringier Media Switzerland to have all articles on Blick.ch read by the voice of Steffi Buchli, Chief Content Officer of Ringier Media Switzerland and a prominent figure in the Swiss media industry.

Blick is relying on the advantages of artificial intelligence and the expertise of their internal Ringier AI Boost team, in which editorial and IT developers work hand in hand to create new tools with artificial intelligence for everyday editorial work.

The partnership demonstrates an effective use case for news publishers to leverage AI-powered audio to enhance engagement, attract new listeners, boost retention, and monetize their content through advertising and subscriptions. 

"Ringier Media Switzerland chose BeyondWords because its comprehensive all-in-one AI audio platform offers a range of languages that can support the introduction of AI audio into our Swiss media brands and, in a next step, into our European titles."

Bernd Volf, Managing Director of Ringier MediaTech, CTO and CPO of Ringier`s Global Media Unit

The partnership will commence with Blick, one of Switzerland's leading daily newspapers, and will subsequently extend to other use cases from the Ringier Media Switzerland and the international Ringier portfolio, with the objective of making AI audio experiences available to as many media brands as possible.

"By combining the latest AI technology with familiar voices from our editorial teams, we can make content more accessible and engaging for our readers. This collaboration with BeyondWords demonstrates how technology can enhance the human touch in journalism, combining AI with the high standards of journalistic quality that our readers expect from Ringier and Ringier Media Switzerland"
