Influencer Apprentice, PlayboyU

Playboy is now part of PLBY Group. What was once a legacy brand that catered to the male gaze has transformed into an innovative lifestyle and sexual wellness consumer goods and tech company with robust physical and digital assets.

Along with our other brands – Yandy, Lovers and Honey Birdette – PLBY Group aims to be the place to celebrate pleasure for all, creative freedom, artistic expression, and sex positivity.

We have a strong global brand with the unique ability to play in both the physical and digital worlds across consumer products, experiences, NFT and blockchain, and gaming.

PLBY Group’s team is comprised of top-tier talent who continue to drive the company’s dramatic transformation; and with a renewed commitment to women’s empowerment, inclusion, and social advocacy, today’s Playboy is committed to using its platforms to advance social change. From investing in employees through wellness, fertility, health, and parental benefits, to investing in women’s rights and LGBTQIIA+ organizations around the globe, there’s a wealth of impactful work being done.
