MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Collin O'Neal's World of Men ended an exclusive distribution relationship with Raging Stallion in February. Scott Boardman left gay publisher Cybersocket at about the same time.
The two chalked the coincidence up to kismet.
"My business partner, Rich, and I have been friends with Scotty for quite a while," O'Neal said. "From the moment Rich and I met Scotty we all clicked, so when I heard Scotty would be leaving Cybersocket I really wanted to find a way that he could work with Rich and I."
World of Men hired Boardman to handle in-house marketing and distribution of its DVD titles. Boardman said he not only has an extensive knowledge of the porn industry, but also has an interest in expanding his knowledge base and learning new aspects of the business.
"After leaving my position at Cybersocket I was faced with the decision of leaving the industry or gaining a new perspective of the industry from a business standpoint," he said. "[After] talking with both Rich and Collin for several months about the position, it felt extremely comfortable for me to work with two people I have come to know and respect. This position has so far been challenging and rewarding - two qualities I love in a job."
World of Men's first self-distributed release, Serbia, will be available June 14.
