Playboy Brazil will no longer be sold
It circulates in all communication vehicles this week the news that the Brazilian edition of Playboy magazine will no longer be sold. A fact that may have caught many people off guard, but that truly shows the reality of what’s been happening to the editorial field in the country.
In contrast to that, the digital magazine Bella Club, which has been positioned as the leader for several years in the segment of online magazines for men, fortunately could overcome the market’s adversities and was able to consolidate its position as a leader, even with so many players in this area and the several difficulties, which lead many companies to failure.
When Bella Club started, over 17 years ago, the web was still fresh in the country, and the company bet in a business model which, at the time, didn’t really exist – comprising the sales of memberships. As the years went by, the internet proved to be the best of tools for outreach work and, with that, a new and powerful competitor arrived: piracy.
Not giving up and working in partnership with the law firm Lopes & Phillippi, an internet expert, Bella Club has done a lot of research and is currently dismantling a piracy network. It is, by the way, the company that invests the most against the issue in Brazil. Bella Club has filed criminal proceedings, and is also filing a complaint regarding who they are and how the country’s internet pirates act.
It’s been common to talk about fake news, and this causes great prejudice to those affected, as well as piracy causes billionaire losses for the entertaining industry.
As well as fighting against piracy, Bella Club is aware that, in order to reach the expectations of an ever cleverer audience, the final product must be top quality. To keep its position as reference in high standard nude shootings, Bella Club has diversified its occupation area and is also inserted in the market which deals with sharing content for mobile and television, distributing its videos to over 180 countries, with exclusive platforms in the United States, México, Portugal and England. It’s no surprise that the numbers of subscribers keeps growing every month.
The changes in Brazilian Playboy’s line of action, which after being sold by Editora Abril to the PPB Group now prints only every three months, is only a reflex of how making business and progress online is a very complicated task.
