Pornhub Is Making Ads for Small Businesses in New Kind of Stimulus Package
Adult site is giving away 1 billion impressions
Pornhub has been busy during Covid-19, making a bunch of dirty videos about cleanliness, among other pursuits. Now, the adult video site has come up with a typically innuendo-laced effort to help small businesses hit hard by the pandemic.
It’s called the Big Package for Small Businesses, and it works like this: Pornhub is seeking small-business applicants from around the world, and will choose 1,000 of them to support by running ads for them on pornhub.com—which gets over 120 million unique visitors a day. It’s promising to donate 1 billion ad impressions in total.
Even better, Pornhub’s agency, Officer & Gentleman, is designing the ads, which will feature faux-smutty lines that tie into each business being featured.
Check out the project video here, featuring the owners of 10 small businesses in cities ranging from Rio de Janeiro to Milan, Madrid, Tokyo and New York City:
“While large companies have deep enough pockets to weather the storm or to invest in enough advertising to continue attracting new customers, mom and pops just don’t have that luxury,” says Officer & Gentleman co-founder Alex Katz. “With much of the economic stimulus money ending up in the hands of the big guys, it’s the tiny ones that can use some help in the growth department —which is something Pornhub knows a thing or two about.”
Below, check out some of the ads made for the businesses featured in the project video:
