YML

Premium mobile-first digital product agency serving Fortune 500 clients, now integrated into the Code and Theory Network within Stagwell Group.

YML (Y Media Labs) was a San Francisco-based digital product agency specializing in mobile-first design, engineering, and strategy. Founded in 2009, the agency built a reputation for delivering high-quality mobile applications and digital experiences for major enterprise brands across industries including finance, healthcare, retail, and media. YML was recognized as one of the top mobile app development agencies globally, earning numerous awards for design excellence and innovation. The agency's capabilities spanned UX/UI design, iOS and Android development, product strategy, emerging technology integration (including AR/VR and AI), and digital transformation consulting. YML worked with marquee clients such as PayPal, Amazon, Kaiser Permanente, and eBay, positioning itself as a premium partner for Fortune 500 companies seeking best-in-class mobile experiences. Its dual presence in the US and India allowed it to offer a blend of strategic creativity and scalable engineering. In 2022, YML was acquired by and absorbed into the Code and Theory Network, a Stagwell Group company. This integration expanded Code and Theory's digital product and engineering capabilities significantly. While the YML brand has been largely subsumed, its talent, methodologies, and client relationships continue under the broader Code and Theory umbrella, making it a subsidiary/integrated unit rather than an independent entity.
