ENCO Systems, Inc., Benztown, and Compass Media Networks have partnered with Beasley Media Group, LLC, to introduce their SPECai product to Beasley’s local advertising executives nationwide.

Implementation of SPECai Technology
SPECai utilizes advanced AI technology to generate fully produced spec spots in both English and Spanish, including regional accents. The product received the Radio World “Best of Show Award” at the 2024 NAB Show in Las Vegas.
Expansion of SPECai User Base
With this deal, Beasley Media Group joins over a dozen other radio companies that have adopted SPECai, allowing their account executives to create high-quality spec spots quickly.
Statements from Beasley Media Group
Caroline Beasley, Chief Executive Officer of Beasley Media Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. She stated, “We are very excited to be among the early users of SPECai. The technology is a game-changing tool for our sales teams to quickly and easily produce great-sounding spec spots for clients in minutes that don’t sound AI-generated, making them very compelling for advertisers. It’s amazing technology for our industry.”
