Extended O&O: how managed syndication works end to end
Extended O&O (owned and operated) runs your brand as a destination across inventory you do not own, with Genuin operating every step as a managed service; your team sees results in BCC and rarely needs to log in. Reading time about 7 minutes.
The model
Your brand keeps its identity, its content, and its audience relationship. Genuin places a branded destination (a persistent placement, not a campaign) on partner properties that match your audience, keeps it filled through Studio and Canvas, sells Paid Partner packages and programmatic demand against it, and reports everything back along your grid.
What Genuin does, step by step
| Step | Genuin does | You see in BCC |
|---|---|---|
| Destination design | Chooses partner properties and page types, designs the placement, applies your brand kit | Grid entries under a property you do not own, marked Extended |
| Content operations | Adapts your library per destination, schedules production lines in Canvas | Studio Adaptation log, Canvas Journal |
| Demand | Lists packages in Marketplace and AdCP, sells Paid Partner Posts and Takeovers, runs the ad server | Monetize → Demand with sources marked Managed |
| Yield | Sets and adjusts floors, pacing, and partner mix | Reports → Revenue and Margin |
| Reporting | Daily and monthly reports, reconciled against the agreement | Reports, invoices and payout statements |
What you decide
Model and agreement (see Choose your network model: Owned, Extended, Commerce, or Retail and Choose your monetization agreement), brand kit and voice (see Set your brand identity: name, logo, colors, and voice), brand safety profile and exclusions (see Set moderation, roles, and brand safety), which groups may travel (see Network distribution: place your content in partner inventory), and approval mode for paid content.
Timeline
A typical Extended O&O launch runs four to six weeks from signature to first destination live, depending on partner inventory availability. Launch destinations are named in your agreement.
How it runs
The placements, feeds, destinations, and identity settings described here are proposed from your grid and audience, applied on confirmation, and tuned on a cadence from the reports.
Support. Help is available 24/7 from Brand Control Center and from every page of these docs. Ask in plain language; when a person is needed, an account manager, developer, or Ops engineer joins the same thread and stays on it until it is resolved. Every Business Account owner has this on every plan (see 24/7 Octo-enabled support: how Octo brings in account managers, developers, and Ops).
API & SDK
Access: the calls in the table are the proposed Business Account API (see Business Account API: provisioning, OAuth, and the resource map), authenticated with a key scoped to the account and a role or an OAuth client acting for it; every confirmation in this article becomes a proposal you can approve by API (POST /proposals/{proposalId}:approve). Live today, the server API under /api/thirdparty authenticates with a gn-access-token (see Generate an access token), and Live API today and the Business Account API roadmap maps what is live to what is proposed.
| Call | Purpose |
|---|---|
| POST /brands/{brandId}/destinations | Create an Extended O&O or Generative Destination on a Genuin domain |
| POST /feeds/{feedId}:distribute | Approve where a feed may run and what wraps it; starts distribution |
| POST /accounts/{accountId}/agreements | Draft the agreement for the model (revenue share, platform, managed, commerce, buyer) |
