Half of the Internet-connected populous watches adult content. That’s more than the viewership for Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, Amazon Instant Video, and all other forms of TV-on-the-Web entertainment combined, yet adult sites remain littered with low-resolution images and giant banner ads -- artifacts of an Internet that is a decade past. In remedying these consumption experience and quality control problems, PaintBottle offers an adult platform through which MeUndies, a non-adult ("mainstream") advertiser, can target this massive audience.
"Through a high degree of curation and close attention to user experience, we've built a platform that provides a highly-charged, highly-sexual atmosphere, but without any of the over-the-top smuttiness and general immaturity that categorizes traditional adult video sites, " explains Craig Hensley, CFO of Paint Bottle. "In creating a beautiful and comfortable aesthetic on PaintBottle.com, we've simultaneously catered to both quality-minded consumers and forward-thinking, edgy advertisers."
The advertisement that will be running alongside PaintBottle’s adult content is promoting the new MeUndies sock line that has just recently launched. The ad features a model only sporting a pair of the brightly patterned socks and some clever copy. The ad’s custom designed and integrated creative is the only way MeUndies wanted to go about this pioneering partnership.
"We wanted to think outside the box in regards to advertising and outreach," explains Noah Taubman, VP of Operations for MeUndies. "While the adult industry has been considered extremely 'unsuitable' amongst the fashion industry’s brands, we are not afraid to lead the way, and this custom-designed placement with Paint Bottle is a strong first step… a gamble worth taking."
Ultimately, PaintBottle.com will offer MeUndies:
This cross-over event is a first for the adult industry, and it begs the question, What other opportunities remain untapped in online advertising?
