Manwin takes over Playboy TV operations
13.28 Europe/London, October 31, 2011 By Robert Briel
Luxembourg-based Manwin is taking over operation of Playboy’s TV and online businesses on November 1, following an agreement that was signed this August.
Manwin will be an operating partner for certain Playboy-branded online and entertainment businesses under the label Playboy Plus Entertainment. This includes the UK and Benelux based Playboy and associated TV channels. They include the Adult Channel, Playboy Chanel and Spice Platinum.
Under the terms of the agreement, Playboy will retain oversight of brand management. Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Scott Flanders, CEO of Playboy Enterprises (PEI), said in a statement: “This partnership is another major step in the evolution of Playboy from an operator of a range of media and licensing businesses to a brand management company. We began this process with the successful outsourcing of our publishing functions and later partnering to grow consumer-products licensing opportunities in Asia and Europe. In Manwin, we have found another strong and experienced partner, and believe that this agreement will benefit our customers, distributors and advertisers.”
Fabian Thylmann, managing partner of Manwin, said: “There is no doubt that Playboy Enterprises has created a brand that is the epitome of sexy, fun indulgence. Manwin will help this prestigious name capture both TV and the digital age in the spirit in which it was created. Manwin’s scale and expertise will catapult the brand in a way that will benefit all our partners, as well as Playboy fans.”
With websites such as Brazzers, YouPorn and Twistys, Manwin claims to be the owner of the largest network of adult websites in the world, with more than 50 million daily visitors. The company has developed various in-house technologies with respect to HD video streaming and website optimization, which enables it to compete on a matchless playing field. Based out of Europe, Manwin headquarters are in Luxembourg, with management offices in Hamburg, Montreal and Los Angeles.
