How Winstory Works

A factual walkthrough of how a story or campaign moves from an opening video through discovery, Completer contributions, moderation and eligible outcomes.

From opening story to continued campaign

Options vary by role and campaign, but the core sequence stays consistent.

C

Moderators

Review submissions against campaign criteria before they enter the accepted canon.

D

Brands and agencies

Frequently asked questions

Who can start a Winstory campaign?

The creation journey supports B2C Company, Agency and Individual Creator roles. The exact setup and available options depend on the selected role and campaign.

How do people participate?

Participants typically discover stories in Explorer, then submit a video continuation as Completers when a campaign is open for contributions.

What is a Completer?

A Completer participates in an existing story or campaign by submitting a video continuation or contribution that follows the opening brief. This is distinct from a Creator who initiates the opening story.

Does every submitted video become part of the campaign?

No. Submissions are subject to moderation and validation. Only accepted content can enter the campaign canon.

Is AI required?

No. AI Gen Studio is optional within applicable creation workflows. Opening stories can be created or uploaded without it depending on role and campaign.

Are rewards guaranteed?

No. Reward eligibility depends on the campaign rules, moderation outcome, participant eligibility and any disclosed tier or performance criteria.

Can brands and agencies use Winstory?

Yes. Brand and agency creation paths support campaign setup and operating choices suited to those roles.
