Knox Media Hub

What Knox Media Hub does

Knox Media Hub is a Barcelona-based, privately held SaaS company founded in 2013 that sells a cloud-native Media Asset Management (MAM) and distribution platform to broadcasters, content owners, sports rights holders, and global distributors. The platform runs on Amazon Web Services (clients bring their own S3 buckets) and is accessed from a single browser tab for ingesting, cataloging, transforming, and sharing audiovisual content. Its core product is a modular, API-first architecture positioned as 'the glue' tying together best-of-breed media supply-chain partners (AWS, Aspera, Signiant, Adobe Premiere Pro, Blackbird, OpenAI, Vionlabs, Mediagenix, Amplify, Okta, and others).

The company's product surface combines a core MAM with differentiated add-on modules: Smart Trimming (AI-powered automated removal of color bars, endboards, clocks, black frames, textless elements, and slate for VoD/FAST preparation), Portals (metadata-driven, no-code branded screening websites), Knox On Prem Ecosystem (hybrid cloud/on-prem workflows), Knox Video Lab (cloud-based multi-track timecoded editor), Next-Gen Metadata Management (configurable schemas, compliance checks, and AI-powered document scanning), Catalog Models, and Metadata Schemas. Reported outcomes include 4x content-operations throughput with the same headcount, 50% client cost savings versus prior solutions, 90,000+ audiovisual transfers managed per month, and the automation of hundreds of ready-to-publish FAST episodes without manual intervention.

Knox Media Hub generates revenue primarily via annual SaaS subscriptions bundled with usage-based storage allocation on the customer's own AWS footprint; pricing is quote-based, gated by a consultative 'Request a Demo' sales process. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by an integrator co-sell motion (with 16+ technology partners), an event-driven demand-gen cadence (IBC, NAB, MIPCOM, ISE, MPTS), and thought-leadership content marketing. Anchor customers include Dorna Sports (MotoGP), All3Media International (15,000+ hours of content across 200+ territories), Banijay Rights (205,000+ hours; FAST/VoD automation via Smart Trimming), CosmoBlue Media, and Naturgy. The company maintains offices in Barcelona (HQ) and London (press/sales) and reports operating across five continents via its enterprise customers.
