Stankevicius Group has completed an 18-month rebuild of its media operations with the launch of BAIUM.net, an ad buying extension of its Arcana Mace platform. The move marks the group's re-entry into the global media market after selling its original media portfolio in 2025, according to a press release distributed via NEWMEDIAWIRE. The development matters because it transforms Arcana Mace into a comprehensive, AI-enabled media marketplace that combines brokerage, self-publishing, and paid advertising in one ecosystem, potentially streamlining how advertisers and publishers connect globally.
Arcana Mace, the AI-driven global media buying and brokerage platform owned by Stankevicius Group, launched BAIUM.net in early Q4 2026. Advertisers can now run image and video campaigns across a connected network of native media sites, choosing between a pay-per-click model with a minimum budget spend of $1 or a fixed daily fee starting from $15 per day per channel. This addition follows the Q3 2026 launch of Media on Demand, a self-publishing layer that connects via API to third-party media sites, allowing users to publish directly without prior editorial review. Together, these components give advertisers an end-to-end path from brokered placements to direct self-publishing to paid amplification, all within a single platform.
The rebuild was necessary after Stankevicius Group sold its original media portfolio, Stankevicius MGM, to a Middle East-based private equity firm in mid-July 2025. That network comprised 11 operational sites and one premium domain. Rather than remaining a publisher, Stankevicius Group pivoted to an automated, AI-based media buying platform. Development of Arcana Mace began in Q4 2025 and went live in late May 2026. The client base has grown internationally since then. Arcana Mace operates as a brokerage marketplace, structured more like Fiverr or Freelancer than a conventional media house, where buyers order from registered agencies and payment is released upon acceptance. This model sets it apart from the earlier publishing-focused approach.
Paulius Stankevicius, CEO of Stankevicius Group, said, “Bringing BAIUM.net together with Media on Demand and Arcana Mace’s core marketplace gives advertisers an end-to-end path from brokered placements to direct self-publishing to paid amplification, all in one platform.” The group's corporate websites include stankevicius.com and stankeviciusgroup.com, which provide further information about its advisory and media technology services. The completion of this rebuild positions Stankevicius Group to compete in the global media market with a fully integrated, AI-driven solution that could appeal to advertisers seeking flexibility and efficiency.
