Adult video-on-demand Internet outfit Adult Entertainment Broadcasting Network is looking for a foothold in the mobile/wireless market, to which end they’ve brought Harvey Kaplan to run their mobile operations department.
“It has been my ambition to work with a forward thinking company like AEBN for most of my adult life,” Kaplan said in a statement. “And I have certainly achieved that ambition in this instance.”
Reached for comment by AVNOnline.com, Kaplan, whose title at AEBN is director of mobile operations, said the AEBN job came about following a series of talks he had with the company’s president, and that he came aboard on a trial basis until both sides agreed he was the man to head up the mobile operation. But Kaplan said he did not want to divulge details of AEBN’s mobile expansion and marketing strategy until during and after Internext in Hollywood, Florida later this month.
Kaplan’s adult entertainment background includes stints at WebQuest, TopBucks, Vivid Interactive, and Flynt Digital, as well as owning FineLine Entertainment, which is now under new management. Most recently, Kaplan was the marketing manager for Hustler.com.
AEBN did say, however, that they were aiming to get the best out of the new generation of mobile product their own in-house team is developing. “A simple click on the AEBN mobile site will allow users to choose from a list of the most popular movies right from their handset,” AEBN said. “Users can also subscribe to other services such as Color Graphics, Wallpaper, Animated Graphics, Big B&W Graphics, Pictures Messages, Ringtones, Moantones and Games.”
