Wicked Pictures has announced that it has signed an exclusive distribution deal with New Zealand’s leading distributor of adult product, Vixen Direct.
“The deal between Wicked and Vixen promises to be great for both companies,” said Steven Vlottes, VP of international sales and licensing for Wicked Pictures. “For the first time, ever in the history of Wicked, we will have one company that will be responsible for both Australia and New Zealand territories.”
“Vixen will be providing Wickedwith 100 percent effort to make the Wickedname as popular there, as it is here in the USA,” Vlottes continued,“I am very happy with Steve Crow and his persistence to structure a deal, whereby we can only go up and forward, with a company like Vixen steering the way.”
New Zealand based Vixen Direct began in 1993 as an exclusive distributor of adult CD-ROM games.
