THE BUSINESS
BEHIND THE
COMMUNITY.
Creative chaos is good.
Corporate chaos? Less so.
The Joined brings creatives together. Levlan International Marketing provides the operational foundations that keep the platform running and accountable.
THE JOINED IS THE PLATFORM.
LEVLAN IS THE BACKBONE.
FRONT.
BUSINESS
BACK.
The Joined is the public-facing creative platform and community.
Levlan International Marketing provides the business structure behind it, including technical management, administration, commercial operations and platform development.
The distinction is simple: the community should feel like a place made for creatives, while the responsibilities of running it remain clear.
CLEAR ROLES.
ONE PLATFORM.
THE JOINED
The public brand, member community, creative network and services people interact with.
LEVLAN
The operating business providing technical, administrative and commercial infrastructure.
MEMBERS
The individuals, companies and creative communities whose work and participation give the platform its purpose.
THE FUTURE
The structure can evolve as the community grows, but accountability must remain clear.
INTERNATIONAL REACH.
BRISTOL ROOTS.
Levlan operates internationally, but The Joined is being built from Bristol, United Kingdom — a city with a creative identity spanning film, television, animation, theatre, music, art and digital culture.
We want to reach creative people everywhere while contributing to the community and culture of the city where the platform began.
FREE TO JOIN.
BUILT TO LAST.
A platform needs sustainable funding. The community should never become an afterthought.
FREE MEMBERSHIP
Individuals can join the community without paying simply to take part.
PAID MEMBERSHIPS
Optional Joined+ and Company+ memberships support platform operations and provide additional features.
COMPANY ACCOUNTS
Creative businesses and organisations can build a presence and use relevant commercial services.
ADVERTISING
Advertising may support free access to some media experiences, while eligible paid members can enjoy ad-free use.
PARTNERSHIPS
Working with venues, educators and creative organisations may help develop specific activities and opportunities.
THE BASIC RULE
Commercial activity should support the platform, not overwhelm the people it exists to serve.
DIFFERENT NEEDS.
DIFFERENT ACCESS.
Personal and company memberships are separate, with access appropriate to how each account uses the platform.
FREE MEMBER
A personal profile and core community access.
JOINED+
Enhanced creative features, including eligible media uploads and creative meetups.
FREE COMPANY
A company profile and core business presence.
COMPANY+
Additional business tools, including the ability to create events.
Founding beta membership types may also provide lifetime premium access. Features, pricing and availability may evolve; the live membership pages are the definitive reference.
CREATIVITY NEEDS FREEDOM.
AND PROPER SAFEGUARDS.
PRIVACY
Handle personal information responsibly and transparently.
PRIVACY POLICY ↗SAFETY
Provide reporting routes, moderation and sensible boundaries.
SAFETY & MODERATION ↗TERMS
Explain membership, content and platform rules openly.
TERMS & CONDITIONS ↗COMMUNITY
Make the shared expectations of respectful participation clear.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES ↗HAS TO
OWN THE
DECISIONS.
COMMUNITY-DRIVEN.
ACCOUNTABLE.
Being community-driven does not mean responsibility disappears. Decisions about technical systems, legal obligations, commercial activity and the wider operation of The Joined remain with the organisation operating it.
Moderators, community leaders and members can shape their own spaces. Their contribution matters, but does not replace overall platform governance.
SAY WHAT WE DO.
THEN DO IT PROPERLY.
CLEAR POLICIES
Make important rules understandable instead of burying them in corporate language.
HONEST COMMERCE
Be clear about which services, subscriptions and features are paid.
KNOWN RESPONSIBILITY
Make it possible to understand who operates the platform and where to raise serious questions.
KEEP IMPROVING
Treat transparency as an ongoing commitment, not a paragraph on a website.
TALK TO US.
Questions about the platform’s ownership, operations, partnerships or governance? Send us a message.
QUESTIONS, IDEAS OR SOMETHING WE SHOULD KNOW?
The Joined is still growing, and hearing from the people it is being built for is part of that process.
CREATIVE FRONT.
SOLID BACKBONE.
Community first doesn't mean structure last.
