Synopsis

Edit

Playboy, an American global media and lifestyle company, agreed to acquire Dream, a content-creator social media group, for $30m. "We’re thrilled to announce our agreement to acquire the Dream platform. Our new creator-led service, CENTERFOLD, will build upon Playboy’s long history providing leading voices with a safe platform for creative expression. CENTERFOLD will serve as the home for the world’s top creators to interact directly with their fans and to expand their communities and commerce businesses. The platform we are acquiring and its development team will provide a strong technology underpinning to significantly accelerate CENTERFOLD’s launch, now expected in the fourth quarter of this year, and to quicken our ability to scale and drive meaningful value to our network of top creators. I’ve been very impressed by the innovative vision and technology expertise of founders Mike Dow and Mike Berman and the whole Dream technology team, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to PLBY Group," Ben Kohn, Playboy CEO.
