In an era demanding renewed dedication to innovation, inclusivity, and unwavering safety, MindGeek—renowned technology and media powerhouse behind titans like Pornhub, Brazzers, Men.com, Babes.com, and Twistys —unveils its groundbreaking rebranding as Aylo. This transformative initiative, borne from the invaluable insights of its community of stakeholders, employees, and Ethical Capital Partners (ECP) ownership, signals a fresh trajectory that underscores its commitment to forging forward with transparency and engaged public dialogue.

"The term 'Aylo' might not populate dictionary pages, but therein lies its strength: we can harness it to symbolize our foundational values. We envisage 'Aylo' epitomizing our unwavering commitment to innovation, inclusive content, and trust. Our pivot to a brand name exuding rejuvenation is deliberate, allowing us to etch its legacy the way we envision. I extend my deepest gratitude to our workforce for their enduring dedication and invaluable insights during this pivotal metamorphosis."* - Aylo Management

Since its inception in 2004, MindGeek rapidly ascended the ranks, staking its claim as a tech trendsetter. However, with Ethical Capital Partners' recent acquisition, the ensuing chapter demands a brand identity that resonates more authentically with the team's evolving vision and ethos. As such, the creation of Aylo is not merely a change of title; it embodies the collective aspirations, innovations, and endeavors of the workforce over time. This sentiment reverberates deeply within the stakeholder community and aligns with ECP's strategic perspective.

"The enthusiasm coursing through the ranks at Aylo is palpable. Our team at Pornhub is invigorated to operate under Aylo's banner, maintaining our vow to curate a secure haven for vetted content creators and the broader adult entertainment community. As we transition under this refreshed identity, our guiding principles—authenticity, consent, originality, diversity, and freedom in sexual expression—remain undiminished."* - Alex Kekesi, VP Brand and Community, Pornhub

Aylo encapsulates a revitalized dawn, embodying the firm's unwavering commitment to act as a global vanguard tech platform. This beacon will illuminate pathways for countless creators to sustain their livelihoods, continually foster innovation within its talent pool, and ensure an uncompromising safety measure for the multitudes who frequent their platforms. Simultaneously, Aylo's emblematic identity will punctuate all future communication channels, marketing endeavors, and virtual interfaces. Notably, ECP's acquisition of MindGeek materialized in March 2023.

"Our acquisition of MindGeek, now rebranded as Aylo, in March 2023 catalyzed a series of insightful dialogues with our dedicated team and stakeholders. We discerned a universal longing for rejuvenation. ECP has always been keen on fostering an environment for open conversations, rectifying misconceptions, and altering the narrative surrounding our brand. Our pursuit to redefine Aylo as an industry luminary in innovation, inclusivity, and safety is relentless. This name change signifies the initial stride of a marathon towards these ambitions."* - Sarah Bain, VP Public Engagement, Ethical Captial Partners

Adult Time is embracing the technology of data-driven strategies with the addition of a skilled Data Scientist to capitalize on the platform’s insights by refining user experiences and driving innovation.

“We have been sitting on a huge pile of data for a long time, and in the last few years we have done our best to sort through it as a team as part of our everyday jobs”, says Frank Stacy, Adult Time’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “We felt like it was time to step up our game, put some dedicated energy towards leveraging all this information, and actively use it to make Adult Time a stronger product.”

Defying the misconception that adult content lacks data-driven strategies, the streaming giant’s Data Scientist is focused on (but not limited to) consumption patterns, user behavior, scene performance, and of course, providing stakeholders with insight into the platform. This will help sharpen the brand’s competitive edge by analyzing content reception from a data perspective, which will help market popular content more efficiently, identifying unseen trends and constructing fresh series concepts.

“The Data Analytics Team’s main challenge is to understand our customers’ behavior and preferences through implicit information,” says David, Adult Time’s Data Analyst. “For example, we may be interested in finding out what scene made users want to return to our website without them saying so explicitly. We could also want to segment our customers based on their preferences and understand each segment’s behavior. If we can find an answer through data mining, we can make recommendations to benefit the client and the company.” “At Adult Time, the vision from day one has been to fuse our creative energy and brand values with robust analytics to influence overall audience satisfaction,”  adds Bree Mills, Adult Time’s Chief Creative Officer.  “I am proud to welcome David to our team and look forward to geeking out over what he helps us discover about the amazing porn fans we serve!”

Lexi Luna recently took some time away from her busy shooting schedule to pay a visit to two podcasts - Jizz Talking and The Podcast by Mata - to share the highs, lows, and surprising moments that make up the colorful daily life of an in-demand adult film star. On Jizz Talking, Lexi Luna joked with host Patrick Palmer and took questions from fans about topics such as her new favorite hobby (“I’ve been learning how to sew… trying to make my costumes fit a little bit better and increase the cleavage potential!”), her dominant side (“I do everything very sensually, very sweetly, very much with respect”) and maintaining high standards on set (“Keeping our circle safe and keeping all of the performers safe is a really big deal to me”). The Podcast by Mata host Joey brought out Luna’s playful side as she revealed the ‘more elevated’ content been creating (“lots of sexy, sensual sides of me showing in my videos these days”), value of critiquing her own sex scenes (“I would recommend it to every performer, especially in the beginning”), private sexual moments fans won’t find onscreen (“you have to keep something sacred for your personal life”) and legendary co-star she’d love to encounter on screen (“Peter North, because he’s so iconic”).

“I want to thank Patrick at Jizz Talking and Joey at The Podcast by Mata for inviting me onto their shows to chat and asking some really great, insightful questions about my life and career,” said Luna. “I hope that fans enjoy watching the podcasts and learning a new thing or two about me!”

Growing up in Indiana with deeply-rooted Midwestern values, Luna followed the traditional path of academic excellence and pursued a career as an elementary school teacher after college graduation. However, after five frustrating years, Luna realized that professional fulfillment and financial security awaited her elsewhere. The adult film industry came calling, and Luna, who lived in Florida then, took a chance on an exciting new opportunity and shot her first scene, “Fuzzy Peach,” for Reality Kings in early 2016. Luckily for her (and the many thousands of fans who now follow her work), she was a natural-born performer who has since blossomed into a charismatic and compelling MILF superstar with an incredible body of work spanning nearly 400 studio titles.
