Deploy the Genuin Experience
Activate:
- Video community feed
- Category structure
- Placement zones (In-Feed, In-Stream, Sponsored)
This becomes monetizable inventory immediately.

Step 1: Choose Revenue Activation Model
You can enable one or more:
| Revenue Model | Activation |
|---|---|
| Vertical Video Ads (IAB-compliant) | Direct or Programmatic |
| Branded Access | Takeovers / Category Exclusive |
| Subscription Access | Paid Highlight rights |
| Extended Network | Audience Extension |

Step 2: Configure Demand Source
Choose one:
A. Internal Brand Profiles (Direct via Genuin Infrastructure)
- Sponsored posts served directly
- No ads.txt required
- No sellers.json required
B. Third-Party Ad Server
- Ads served externally
- Requires ads.txt + sellers.json setup
- Supports DealID activation
