LOS ANGELES—Ravana LLC, the retail powerhouse behind brands such as Adult Empire, TLA Video, Gamelink, Popporn, and SugarInstant, has joined Free Speech Coalition as a platinum-level sponsor.
“The Ravana brands have been leaders in adult retail for decades,” says Michelle L. LeBlanc, executive director of FSC. “We look forward to working with Ravana and their storied brands to defend our industry’s rights, support its workers, and help build a stronger and more respected industry.”
Ravana brands such as Gamelink, Adult Empire, and TLA Video helped create the adult video revolution in the 1990s, first through the sale of VHS, DVDs, and sex toys and later as pioneers for online video streaming and membership sites. Innovative new platforms such as Popporn and SugarInstant have since expanded Ravana’s massive reach. Together the brands have won countless retail and film awards, and been a valued partner for the biggest names in the industry.
“The Ravana brands have a long history in adult, and we know how important it is to support institutions like FSC that help our industry survive and thrive,” says Colin Allerton, vice president of Ravana. “Collaboration with strong partners has been key to our success as a company, and so we’re proud to join FSC and be a part of their important work.”
