# Getting started

Set up your GIMI organization, complete your public profile, and launch your first sourcing, distribution, or contest campaign.

GIMI is the operating platform for running creator campaigns at scale. Brands, agencies, and AI companies use it to launch campaigns, review work, reward creators, and store approved content.

You manage the full path from brief to payout in one place — without coordinating creators, collecting links, calculating rewards, and processing payments by hand.

## Organizations and personal accounts

When you log in you may have:

1. Your **personal account**
2. One or more **organization accounts**

Your personal account is you as an individual user. An organization represents the brand, agency, or company running campaigns.

### How do I switch accounts?

At the top of the platform, open the account dropdown and select your personal account or the organization you want to manage.

Always confirm you are inside the correct organization before creating a campaign, reviewing submissions, or managing funds. Actions inside an organization affect that organization’s campaigns, creators, content, and balance.

### How do I update my personal details?

1. Open the account dropdown.
2. Select your personal account.
3. Open **Settings**.
4. Update name, email, position, profile information, or preferences.
5. Save.

## How do I set up the organization profile?

Your organization profile is what creators see. A complete profile increases trust.

You can include organization name, display name, GIMI handle, logo, banner, bio, website, social links, associated external links, network member count, and active campaigns.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Switch into the correct organization and open the **Dashboard**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Open the profile menu beside your organization name and choose **Edit Profile**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Add or update profile information, then upload your logo and banner.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Save, then choose **Preview Profile** from the same menu and check the page as a creator would see it.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Before a public campaign, confirm:

* The logo is clear and the name is correct
* The bio explains what the company does
* Links work
* Active campaigns appear correctly
* The banner looks right on desktop and mobile

## How do I create my first campaign?

1. Switch into the correct organization.
2. Select **Create** in the top-right corner, then **Create Campaign**.
3. Choose a campaign type: [sourcing](/gimi/for-brands/sourcing-campaigns.md), [distribution](/gimi/for-brands/distribution-campaigns.md), or [contest](/gimi/for-brands/contest-campaigns.md).
4. Complete the brief, reward or prize settings, and access (public or private).
5. Review, fund, and publish.

You can also open **Campaigns** and select **Create New Campaign**.

*Screenshot placeholder: Create button in the top-right corner.*

{% hint style="success" %}
GIMI recommends a starting reward pool of **$2,000** for a first campaign, a clear brief, and [private submissions](/gimi/for-brands/public-vs-private-campaigns-and-magic-links.md) unless visibility is part of the concept.
{% endhint %}

Next: [Dashboard and navigation](/gimi/for-brands/dashboard-and-navigation.md) and [Campaign types](/gimi/for-brands/campaign-types.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gimi.gitbook.io/gimi/for-brands/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
