Stankevicius Group has confirmed the continued expansion of Arcana Mace, its AI driven global media buying and brokerage platform, with the launch of BAIUM.net, a new ad buying extension that lets advertisers run image and video campaigns across a connected network of native media.
The announcement caps an 18 month rebuild of Stankevicius Group's media operations following the 2025 sale of its original media portfolio.
From Media Developer to Media Marketplace
Stankevicius Group's marketing arm, Stankevicius MGM, built its early reputation as a media developer, creating news and content platforms across business, technology, politics, global economics, and entertainment. In 2025, that portfolio changed hands. According to a report by investing.com, a Middle East based private equity firm acquired the Stankevicius MGM media network, 11 operational sites plus one premium domain, in a transaction that closed in mid July 2025 following negotiations that began that May. Terms were not disclosed. The deal was also covered by the London Stock Exchange news wire.
Following the divestiture, Stankevicius Group began rebuilding its media business from the ground up, this time not as a publisher but as an automated, AI based media buying platform.
Building Arcana Mace
Development began in Q4 2025 under the Arcana Mace name. Through Q1 and Q2 2026, Stankevicius Group's PR and marketing firm, Stankevicius Pacific Limited, finalized the platform's build, and Arcana Mace went live at arcanamace.com in late May 2026. In the months since, the platform has built a growing global clientele.
Unlike the earlier Stankevicius MGM model, Arcana Mace does not publish or broker PR services directly. It operates as a brokerage marketplace, structurally closer to Fiverr or Freelancer than to a traditional media house. Buyers place orders with agencies registered on the platform, including the Stankevicius agency alongside third party agencies, sellers fulfill the order, and payment is released upon buyer acceptance. The core focus of Arcana Mace is media buying and brokerage across top tier, mid tier, and lower tier international media channels.
Media On Demand: Self Publishing at Scale
In Q3 2026, the platform was extended with Media On Demand, a self publishing service connected via API integrations to third party media sites. Media On Demand allows users to publish content directly to connected outlets without prior editorial review or approval, subject to each outlet's own terms, privacy, and security requirements.
BAIUM.net: Ad Buying Goes Live
The newest addition, BAIUM.net, launched in early Q4 2026 as a dedicated ad buying platform for the Arcana Mace Media On Demand network. Advertisers can run image and video campaigns across the network on two models: pay per click, from a minimum budget spend of $1, and a fixed daily fee, from a minimum spend of $15 per day per specific channel.
With BAIUM.net, Arcana Mace now functions as a complete, AI enabled media buying marketplace, spanning brokerage, self publishing, and paid ad distribution under a single connected ecosystem.
“Bringing BAIUM.net together with Media On Demand and the core Arcana Mace marketplace gives advertisers an end to end path from brokered placements to direct self publishing to paid amplification, all in one platform,” said Stankevicius Group CEO Paulius Stankevicius.
