Get Started

Create a business account and launch your own media network on Genuin: generative video, embeddable players, and engagement infrastructure, in five steps that stay the same from a solo podcaster to a national retailer.

Prepared for you

Brand kit, grid, hub, feeds, partners, and agreement are drafted from your site and shown rendered; you confirm, edit, or decline each one.

Add context

Connect the website crawler and add guidelines, audience notes, catalog, partner rules, and policies; every proposal gets closer to what you would have built.

24/7 support on every plan

Ask in plain language from BCC or any docs page; an account manager, developer, or Ops engineer joins the thread when a person is needed.

Everything by API and SDK

Create and operate a Business Account programmatically: OAuth for partners, keys for owners, and every product as a resource. Each article ends with its calls.

Add Brand Elements

For Media & Entertainment Business Account on BCC: one account for the group, one brand per title, station, or property, each with its own brand kit, guidelines, and reports, and the brand switcher to move between them. Roles are scoped per brand (an editor sees only their title) with group-level Revenue and Admin roles across all. Connect every domain and app, your video archive, and live event feeds.

Goal · Growth KPI set: watch time per user, return rate, members. Brand kit contrast and voice affect completion rates; connect every content source so the library grows without production effort.

Goal · Monetization KPI set: time to first revenue. Enter your legal entity and billing details now and give the signer the right role, so the services agreement is one step when you reach it.

Create your Business Account on Brand Control Center (BCC)

When you finish, you will have a Business Account on Brand Control Center (BCC), the centralized hub for your brand on Genuin, with your first brand created, a sandbox API key, and an empty media network waiting for content. Your part takes about 3 minutes. No card, no contract.

Essential3 min

Set your brand identity: name, logo, colors, and voice

You confirm: the brand kit sampled from your homepage: logo, colors, voice.

Completed for you · confirm

Connect your website, app, and podcast feed

When you finish, Genuin knows which domains, apps, and content sources belong to you, so embeds load only where you allow them and your existing content can be turned into video. Your part takes about 5 minutes; domain verification can take up to 24 hours if DNS is slow.

Essential5 min

Invite your team and assign roles

When you finish, the people who run content, revenue, and engineering each have the access they need and nothing more, and you have an audit trail from day one. Your part takes about 2 minutes per person.

Launch Media Network

For Media & Entertainment Model: Extended O&O. Import the grid from your ad server's ad units; Shorts on article and episode pages, Live & Q&A for events and talent. Launch destinations are named in the agreement.

Goal · Growth KPI set: pages per session, session length. Place video where the journey continues and allow more than one experience per placement so Maya can choose per viewer.

Goal · Monetization KPI set: eCPM, fill, revenue per embed. Pick the brand type that matches your business and register placements in the sizes buyers pay for.

What a media network is on Genuin

A media network on Genuin is your brand's own distribution and monetization system: the places your video appears (your site, your apps, partner sites, the open web), the audience that watches it, and the revenue those views create. Reading time about 4 minutes; nothing to configure.

Publish Brand Community

For Media & Entertainment Connect your channels; the AI maps shows and sections to groups and builds the hub. Launch on your domain, embed feeds through your CMS, syndicate from the hub, and distribute section and topic feeds across the network with Paid Partner packages wrapped in.

Goal · Growth KPI set: hub sessions, watch time per user, followers, syndicated views that return to the hub. Post to the hub first; links back on every syndicated post are the growth loop.

Goal · Monetization KPI set: distributed views, eCPM on wrapped ads, sponsorship revenue per feed. Launch, then distribute at least one feed so paid partnerships have inventory to run in.

Goal · Growth KPI set: members, posts per member, creator entries. Auto login enables continuity and member-only groups; creator programs fill new groups.

Goal · Monetization KPI set: partners connected, paid partnerships live. Set brand safety first, then add brand partners and demand partners.

Bring your audience in with auto login and SSO

For Media & Entertainment Enterprise plan, managed service agreement; ads.txt for every domain; all demand sources on; Paid Partner packages listed in Marketplace and AdCP; partner ad server as system of record.

Goal · Growth KPI set: lift against your own holdout. Keep paid pacing low at first so relevance builds; revenue share funds growth without a sales motion.

Goal · Monetization KPI set: revenue, net margin on ad spend. Sign the services agreement, switch on demand sources in order, and reconcile the Monetize dashboard with your payouts.

Plans explained: Free, Self-serve, and Enterprise

Genuin has three plans; most networks launch on Free, upgrade to Self-serve when they want their own demand sources, and move to Enterprise when they want Genuin to operate the network as a managed service. Reading time about 3 minutes.
