Yoto: Screen-free adventures

Yoto was created by parents, for parents. Their innovative Yoto Player and Yoto Mini devices are designed to give children a safe gateway to a world of audio, completely free of screens, microphones, cameras, and ads. The core of their experience is a library of physical cards featuring stories, music, and activities. The mission is to provide high-quality, educational, and fun audio content that parents can trust implicitly.

Beyond the card, safely at scale

While the physical card system is a huge success, Yoto needed a way to deliver fresh, dynamic audio to keep their content engaging for over a million children. With parents increasingly concerned about screen time, the pressure was on to expand their offering without compromising their core values of safety and curation. They needed a way to launch and manage multiple, ad-free audio streams for a massive global audience, without needing specialist broadcast knowledge.

Simple, safe streams for growing minds

Yoto chose to enhance their ecosystem with curated audio streams, launching "Yoto Radio" for lively, age-appropriate tunes and "Yoto Sleep Radio" for calming bedtime routines. Radio.co provided the simple, yet powerful platform to make this a reality. Radio.co enabled Yoto to:

  • Launch and manage diverse, ad-free audio streams.
