Gamma Entertainment Acquires Pride Studios

MONTREAL—-Gamma Entertainment subsidiary Buddy Profits has announced the acquisition of all assets belonging to Pride Studios. Founded in 2002, Pride Studios will continue to produce new weekly content for its portfolio of websites—including ExtraBigDicks.com, MenOver30.com, CircleJerkBoys.com, 1GayPass.com and BoyzParty.com—which will now be integrated under the award-winning gay affiliate program, Buddy Profits. “From the very beginning,” said Harlan Yaffe, co-founder of Pride Studios, “we have been committed to offering the finest quality content delivered with great attention to detail. Buddy Profits and its dedication to excellence, represents the ideal team to carry on our legacy, and will without a doubt continue to raise the bar for the highest standards in gay entertainment.” Stephan Sirard, President of Buddy Profits, commented, “Pride Studios was among the early pioneers in the online gay adult market and have built and sustained a prodigious reputation in the industry and gay community. Here at Buddy Profits, we happen to share a similar value and passion for leadership in gay adult entertainment, and therefore it is with great pleasure that we now can count Pride Studios as one of our assets.” Joe Sterner, co-founder of Pride Studios, also commented on the sale: “When we created Pride Studios so many years ago we wanted to build a program that we would be excited to promote with a strong outreach to affiliates. Now that the time has come for David, Harlan and I to move on, it is so reassuring that the Buddy Profits team shares this focus and we have no doubt that they will be great stewards of the Pride Studios brand.” Buddy Profits is the gay affiliate program of the Gamma Entertainment group. It was founded in October 2006 and has accumulated numerous honors and accolades over the years, making it one of the leading and most successful gay affiliate programs in the industry. It currently has 35 premium gay websites within its portfolio; the acquisition of the Pride Studios websites will bring the total to 40. Hector Camacho, Director of Product and Development at Buddy Profits said of the transaction, “We are all very excited to add such diverse products to our current line of membership sites and program. This acquisition will help us continue offering a wide selection of premium quality products to our consumers, and further strengthens our position as a global leader in the gay adult market. We expect to redesign and re-launch five of the sites in order to improve user experience, site functionality and affiliate conversions - all while maintaining the essence of the sites as they each exist today.” For more information about Pride Studios or Buddy Profits, please contact Hector Camacho at hector@buddyprofits.com.
