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

With Offsite Offsite tags carry your brand kit into other people's placements, so the logo and wordmark must read at 300 × 250 and 320 × 480. Verify your domain even if you run no onsite placements; attribution for offsite viewers who come to your site depends on it.Brand elements that matter for Offsite · see Set your brand identity: name, logo, colors, and voice, Connect your website, app, and podcast feed, Offsite: generate IAB-standard tags for your media plan, Player card sizes and IAB footprint spec

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.

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

With Offsite Offsite tags are generated from groups, not placements, but the grid still matters: register a property for each DSP or partner you traffic through so offsite impressions report as rows beside onsite. Choose IAB sizes you will actually traffic (see Player card sizes and IAB footprint spec).Launching a network for Offsite · see Register your placements on the Hierarchical Grid, Offsite: generate IAB-standard tags for your media plan, Ad tag reference: VAST, IAB sizes, and macros, Player card sizes and IAB footprint spec

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.

Recommended4 min

Choose your network model: Owned, Extended, Commerce, or Retail

You confirm: the recommended network model.

Register your placements on the Hierarchical Grid

When you finish, every place your video will appear has an address on one map that inventory, feed layout, and reporting all share, so a placement you create today reports correctly forever. Your part takes about 10 minutes for a typical site; retailers with many templates can import a sheet.

Publish Brand Community

With Offsite The hub is the landing destination every offsite tag points back to, and a Genuin-domain hub can be allowlisted by buyers and partners. Syndicated posts carry a link back to it so offsite viewers become hub viewers you can measure.Launching the hub for Offsite · see Launch your first community: your owned-and-operated space, Generative Destination on a Genuin Domain, Post to your hub, then curate and schedule to other platforms, Offsite: generate IAB-standard tags for your media plan

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.

Upload your videos or connect your social profile

When you finish, Genuin has your existing videos, has sorted them into communities, groups, categories, topics, and keywords for you, and has generated a landing page (your content hub) from them. Your part takes about 10 minutes of your time; the AI does the rest in the background.

Add Users

With Offsite Unified identity links an offsite view to a later onsite visit under consent, which is how offsite return on ad spend is measured. Pass the consent macros in every tag. Demand partners for offsite are your DSP or the partner's ad server (see Add brand partners and demand partners).Adding users for Offsite · see Bring your audience in with auto login and SSO, Unified identity: auto login, SSO, and the ID graph, Add brand partners and demand partners, Attribution: closed-loop commerce and conversion forecasts

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

When you finish, people who are already signed in to your site or app are signed in to Genuin too, so they can follow, post, buy, and be recognized across every placement without a second login. Your part takes about 30 minutes of developer time.

Recommended30 min

Invite creators, hosts, and contributors

When you finish, the people who make content for your brand (hosts, employees, creators, superfans) can post into your groups under rules you set, and their earnings are tracked from the first post. Your part takes about 10 minutes.

Add brand partners and demand partners

Offer member subscriptions: free and paid tiers

When you finish, your community has a Free member tier and, where you want one, paid tiers that unlock content, groups, live sessions, or perks, with checkout, renewals, and receipts handled for you and every member assigned to a tier. Takes about 10 minutes.

Sign Contract

With Offsite Offsite is usually spend, not revenue: your media plan buys the placements and Genuin measures the return. Under a commerce schedule, audience extension lets you also sell your segments on offsite inventory at programmatic CPMs. Attribution windows are set in the agreement.Contracts and revenue for Offsite · see Choose your monetization agreement, Programmatic: Genuin Ad Server or your partner ad server, Attribution: closed-loop commerce and conversion forecasts, Margin reporting: revenue per impression and net margin on ad spend

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.
