how sweet and organic the event seemed while bringing levity to what would otherwise be contentious competitor marketing. That’s an interesting shift in the way brands are approaching their audience socially.”
“There is so much negativity in the news online that it has become refreshing to see brands being playful these days,” added Ms. Macewen. “You don’t see much in the way of taste test challenges or adversarial campaigns against a competitor right now because consumers are already inundated with news of political backbiting and international tensions by the 24/7 news cycle. Instead, a genuine campaign of camaraderie and mutual respect makes good business sense right now. The best recent example of that in adult was the September 8th Free Porn Day event https://freepornday.com/ that many brands banded together to promote. That’s where I see things headed for the foreseeable future, public cooperation (even among direct competitors).”
It’s easy to think that billion dollar brands like Burger King can make just about any campaign a successful one through their sheer spending power, but smaller brands are also finding their own ways to impress savvy marketers with less resources spent and better targeting strategies.
“Over the last few years, I find myself borrowing from and being impressed by some of the smaller to mid sized marketers that have had consistent success with realistic resource,” said P. Armstrong aka “PAR” of Lit3.com. “Limited resources make people find creative ways to market their products instead of just throwing money at any

ARE THERE REALLY
TOO MANY
SHOWS? by Stewart Tounge
Y
ears ago there were a handful of shows that adult industry execs all attended each year. Then
the number of shows started to grow, and the proliferation of shows outside the adult industry willing to accept involvement of adult brands also quickly escalated. Now, execs are left to choose which shows to leave off their busy schedules, some have said there should be a reduction in the number of shows, and others have even suggested that the entire show schedule is destined for the scrap pile in the near future. Instead of sitting around guessing at the future, Fubar has gone to ask the show runners themselves what they see coming for industry events in the near and distant future.
