Mediagenix and White Peaks Solutions power SBA's Maraya platform with AI-driven personalisation
Spideo is providing Maraya with its AI-powered semantic recommendation engine, enabling real-time personalisation based on semantic data, user context and editorial objectives. Mediagenix, a global leader in smart content solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with White Peaks Solutions and the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority to enhance personalised content delivery on Maraya, the authority's flagship streaming platform. The collaboration aims to transform user experiences through advanced AI-powered recommendations, elevating Maraya's position as a premier destination for Arabic-language entertainment, culture and education. Sharjah Broadcasting Authority, the public media entity of the Emirate of Sharjah, operates Maraya with a mission to share the region's cultural and educational heritage with Arabic-speaking audiences worldwide. Now, through this partnership, the platform is integrating a next-generation recommendation engine that promises to significantly improve viewer engagement and satisfaction. At the heart of this initiative is the semantic recommendation engine developed by Spideo, a company acquired by Mediagenix in 2024. Now part of the Mediagenix Recommendation product suite, this AI-driven technology delivers real-time personalisation based on user context, semantic data and editorial priorities. The system aligns recommendations with both user preferences and brand values, resulting in higher engagement — increasing viewing by 20 to 60% and boosting conversion rates by 35% — while halving the time spent on content curation. Maraya's users will experience these enhancements through White Peaks Solutions' content management system, FAULIO, and the KWIKmotion online video platform. Together, these tools provide broadcasters and publishers with a secure, scalable environment for building and monetising OTT platforms across devices. Salem AlJunaidi, Head of Content at Maraya Platform, said: 'This partnership marks a new chapter in how Maraya combines technology and storytelling to elevate our platform. It's an important part of how we will continue to entertain and delight our growing number of viewers across the MENA region.' Jessy Abou Habib, Chief Operating Officer, White Peaks Solutions, added: ' We're delighted to partner with Mediagenix and integrate its AI-powered semantic recommendation engine with our CMS, FAULIO, in order to deliver cutting-edge Personalisation capabilities that will ensure Maraya maintains its position as one of the leading streaming platforms in the region.' Thibault d'Orso, co-founder at Spideo, now leading business development at Mediagenix, commented: 'Personalisation is no longer just a nice-to-have — it's a critical driver of engagement and retention, and by combining semantic intelligence with editorial agility, we're helping Maraya offer the right content, to the right audience, at the right moment.'

Mediagenix Integrates Spideo Recommendation and Curation Capabilities into Its Title Management Solution
New integration boosts title catalog discovery by 40% and workflow efficiency by 60% for content value management processes. BRUSSELS, BELGIUM / ACCESS Newswire Mediagenix, a global leader in smart content solutions to profitably connect the right content to the right audience, today announced the integration of Spideo's humanized content recommendations, personalized discovery, and catalog exploration capabilities into its flagship Title Management solution, a cornerstone of the Content Value Management suite. As a result, Media & Entertainment (M&E) organizations can anticipate a 40% improvement in catalog discovery and gain a remarkable 60% increase in workflow efficiency for content value management processes. Building on decades of expertise in catalog and metadata management, Mediagenix's modern SaaS-based application is designed to provide a flexible framework for content metadata management. Supporting multi-version content, multiple languages, rights data, and media essence references, the platform ensures seamless metadata enrichment and distribution from sources like Gracenote. Users can address any gaps in their content catalogs efficiently while delivering value to their audience. 'Mediagenix's goal has always been to empower content providers with cutting-edge tools that drive efficiency and unlock their full potential,' said Emmanuel Müller, Chief Product Officer, Mediagenix. 'With tools like these, content providers can confidently answer the question, 'What content do I have rights to use, at this time, in this region, for this platform, within this schedule for this audience?'-all at the click of a button.' Users can locate the required content using their own terminology with natural language, tag-based, semantic search built-in. Leveraging Spideo's market-leading content discovery within title management workflows, Mediagenix empowers content management professionals with the same powerful and intuitive discovery tools to optimize title curation processes. By storing image and poster data along with media essence references downstream, schedule- and VOD-planning solutions can easily match media to metadata for seamless distribution. This sets a new standard for how media organizations manage and monetize content catalogs to maximize lifetime value potential, achieve optimum operational efficiency and deliver superior user experience. Key innovations Distributor catalog data is often scattered across multiple systems, including Media Asset Management (MAM) platforms, rights and contract management tools, service provider databases, image repositories, and spreadsheets. For strategic planners and deal teams, simply identifying available content - and determining which items can be used within specific timeframes and territories - can turn into a time-consuming, multi-day process filled with countless emails and calls just to gather clear answers. This new integration solves these business challenges by offering the following: Improved content discovery: With advanced natural language search and AI-based recommendation engine, users can easily surface specific content from extensive catalogs. Exported metadata and discovery insights can seamlessly integrate with scheduling and media supply chain systems. A single source of truth: The Mediagenix Title Management system centralizes all content metadata, rights, images, and media references, streamlining data across teams and tools via API connections. Global flexibility: The web-native SaaS solution offers enterprise-wide access across operations, enabling real-time collaboration regardless of location. Monetization made simple: By identifying content availability for specific platforms, timeframes, and geographies, Mediagenix enables content providers to streamline distribution and capitalize on emerging opportunities. Streamlined metadata management: Content teams can efficiently create and edit metadata using intuitive tools. Additionally, the Production Portal add-on ensures that no data gaps exist, collecting necessary information from external sources at the time of acquisition. With this latest release, incorporating capabilities from Spideo - which Mediagenix acquired in 2024 - Mediagenix confirms its position as a global innovator in media content solutions, enabling organizations to meet the growing demands of consumers in an increasingly digital age.
