Yaman Media Group founder Yaman Coskun has signed on as the exclusive business development partner for an AI voice platform, tasked with pitching the roster of real, professionally cloned voice talent to radio, advertising agencies, and podcast producers.
As part of the deal, BionicVO is dubbing Coskun its Director of Strategic Partnerships, with the full Yaman Media Group partnership encompassing the business development cycle from prospecting and market analysis to contract negotiation and client relationship management, with a particular emphasis on the radio industry.
Yaman Media already counts Oink Ink Radio, the audio advertising company led by BionicVO founder Dan Price, as a creative partner.
BionicVO launched publicly in August. Every voice on the platform belongs to a working professional actor who consented to the clone, and every time that voice is used, the actor is paid. Source audio is directed and produced by Price’s team.
Price said, “Yaman Coskun is one of the most respected names in radio. His relationships, his instincts, and his understanding of where this industry is heading make him the ideal partner to help us reach the audiences who will benefit most from what we’ve built. This is a significant moment for BionicVO.”
Coskun said, “We fell in love with BionicVO after trying every so-called AI audio platform out there. It is, by far, the most powerful and appropriate application of AI audio for seasoned media pros who understand the difference between a library of AI slop versus a roster of real talent.”
