PLAYBOY LAUNCHES “PRIDE IN NUMBERS” CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF APLA HEALTH TO CELEBRATE UNITY AND SELF-EXPRESSION IN THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY

In celebration of Pride month, Playboy will partner with five influential voices in the LGBTQIA+ community: Kittens, Bretman Rock, Gigi Goode, Leo Baker and Ev’Yan Whitney. Each of these respected individuals will design a custom product for Playboy that speaks to their varying communities, creative styles and backgrounds. The “Pride in Numbers” campaign by Playboy highlights the LGBTQIA+ community’s strength and optimism throughout a challenging year of isolation, bringing these individuals together in a celebration of visibility, individuality, and joy for Pride month.

Each of the five influencers will work with Playboy’s in-house creative team on the initiative led by Katrina Alonso to bring their visions to life. In addition to the five key product partners, Playboy will run an influencer campaign with other titans of the LGBTQIA+ community to spotlight these products and bring the entire collection to new audiences. All proceeds from product sales will be donated to longtime Playboy partner, APLA Health (formerly AIDS Project Los Angeles).

“We are thrilled to officially work with Playboy on their ‘Pride in Numbers’ campaign,” said Craig E. Thompson, CEO of APLA Health. “In a world where funding is limited, Playboy’s generosity is a vital lifeline that sustains APLA Health and the communities in which we serve.”

In addition to the influencer-driven product offerings, Playboy will build on its legacy serving as a platform for creative self-expression by publishing a photo essay series shot by famed Indigenous queer photographer, Lanee Bird, to highlight the resilience and connectivity of the LGBTQIA+ community during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The essay will be featured on the brand’s Pride-themed digital hub which will also offer audiences information on ways to get involved, learn, and show their support of the LGBTQIA+ community this Pride Month. The Pride hub will provide a place to read more about their mission and about APLA Health, learn about the individuals involved in the “Pride in Numbers” campaign, and shop their custom products as well as Playboy’s full Pride apparel collection.
