Genies

We’ve been building avatars for years and our mission has always revolved around how avatars can help humans capture and socialize their inner selves. So we’re building an avatar social network to do just that. Meet Genies Party 🪅 With current social media platforms primarily focusing on external self-expression, which often leads to judgment, conformity, and limited authenticity, we’re building a social network that enables humans to not only learn about their inner selves, but also meet like minded individuals 👯🏽 What makes this a game changer? All the Experiences within Genies Party will be fully interoperable, and powered by our budding community of artists building assets through The Workshop, and developers building Experiences through the Dev Kit 🖤 To learn more: https://lnkd.in/gCH6dPcZ If you’re a developer, artist, or creative, join our community to learn how you can contribute to our crowd-sourced ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/gZz8GJ_y #developer #gamedev #technicalartist #3ddesign #unity #avatar

When you have a persistent avatar, you’re able to extend or amplify your reach in ways that weren’t possible before due to physical constraints. Over the last few months, Lay Bankz has been using her Genie in a variety of ways showcasing this, ranging from her new music video for her top hit, “Tell Ur Girlfriend,” to Slaybankz, an alter ego persona that lives on separate IG and TikTok accounts - where Lay Bankz can amplify her social presence, interact with fans, unlock UGC, tease new music, and more. As Lay continues to strengthen connections with fans, she is simultaneously developing value in her own IP. Establishing avatar IP effectively requires consistent, high-quality and strategic storytelling. We’re now offering comprehensive services to help with this, including creative strategy, content creation, and marketing, which allows Creators to effortlessly launch their own avatar accounts…their own “Lil Miquelas” if you will. As these social profiles grow and draw in new audiences and opportunities, they naturally evolve into a seamless springboard for creators to launch their own avatar universes.
