Pokmi Earns 2022 XBIZ Awards Nod for 'Emerging Web Brand'

PARIS — Pokmi is celebrating its nomination for the 2022 XBIZ Awards in the category of “Emerging Web Brand of the Year.”

"The rising adult content service based on blockchain technology and NFTs — or 'NFPs' for 'Non-Fungible-Pokens' — allowing holders to collect and trade physical and virtual goods, content and services via its exclusive decentralized marketplace, is a newcomer in the quickly-expanding crypto space, which makes the brand’s first-ever award nomination a welcome surprise,” a rep said.

Co-Founders and co-CEOs Marco Garniga and Nils Lataillade shared their thanks for the recognition.

"What an incredible honor it is to be recognized by XBIZ,” they said in a joint statement. "The amazing thing is that some of our great brand ambassadors — Maitland Ward, Kayden Kross, Abella Danger, Manuel Ferrara and Lane Rogers (aka Blake Mitchell) — have also received nominations."

"As we are a new startup in the tech and crypto industry, it’s important to us that we show the market, our peers and competitors that we are most powerful brand in this award category, so we are truly blessed with this acknowledgment,” Garniga and Lataillade continued.

The 2022 XBIZ Awards will crown the best-of-the-best in adult Sunday, Jan. 9 at the historic Hollywood Palladium; select web and tech categories will be presented on Jan. 5 during the XBIZ L.A. conference.
