LOS ANGELES — ASACP has named Cherry Pimps, YNOT Group and LALExpo as its featured sponsors for March.
ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning said the association’s featured sponsors rank among the industry’s most-respected companies and are examples of how responsible business policies, ethical operation and social awareness can help protect minors and other online users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials.
“This month, the association recognizes several of its most stalwart supporters, serving as prime examples of the relationships we’ve nurtured for the good of the community and the benefit of the children,” Henning said. “By supporting ASACP and its initiatives, our broad family of sponsors enables us to raise awareness and provide solutions to the challenges of today’s emerging virtual worlds and more.”
These are the ASACP descriptions of its February featured sponsors:
Cherry Pimps
Supporting the association as a corporate sponsor since 2013, Cherry Pimps helps to protect minors and other viewers from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials by locking its content behind a paywall. This paywall requires viewers to purchase access to the company’s adult material, including its live cam shows — rather than offering the content as a free-for-all.
“We’re happy to continue our support of the ASACP as they work to help protect children online,” says Cherry Pimps Director Eric. “Their work is invaluable, and we must remember that their work is often thankless but essential to keeping predators out of the online environment.”
“We thank the entire team at ASACP and look forward to many more years of cooperation,” he added. “I encourage all those who are not sponsors to step up to the plate and participate and give back to your community.”
YNOT Group
An ASACP in-kind media sponsor since 2016, the YNOT brand was founded in 1996 to provide the earliest and most successful website developers with a central hub where they could network and exchange ideas and traffic. Today the company offers a variety of B2B services, resources and events for adult businesses and specifically for the webcam industry and performers, anchored by its flagship websites YNOT.com and YNOTCam.com, providing industry news, interviews, marketing opportunities and more.
Additional YNOT-branded services include hosted email marketing and delivery platform YNOTMail.com and annual events, including YNOTAwards.com, which awards excellence in the B2B space, and the YNOT Cam Awards, which exclusively awards cam models and content creators. In addition, the YNOT 'Cammunity' model summit held in Hollywood in October supports the webcam and clips sectors of the industry and the models who work in it. The virtual-only YNOTSummit.com industry trade show May 17-18, 2022, and the newly formed YNOT Reunion event in Phoenix April 8-10, 2022, rounds out the company’s offerings.
“YNOT continues to support and appreciate the efforts of ASACP to make the Internet a safer place,” says YNOT co-owner Jay Kopita. “Thanks for all you do.”
LALExpo
An Official ASACP media sponsor since 2017, the Latin America Adult Business Expo (LALExpo) targets the vibrant Latin American market, attracting a growing international and Latin American audience from companies representing all aspects of the online and adult business world. Because LALExpo is a B2B, education and trade event, the general public is not permitted to attend, but a diverse range of companies from the billing, mobile tech, ad network, affiliate sector and more are in attendance. This executive event is capped by the LALExpo Awards, honoring excellence across dozens of industry categories and market segments. This year’s event is scheduled for June 12-15 in Cartagena, Colombia.
“Colombia has emerged as a vibrant center of the global camming community and broader digital media market. LALExpo’s goal has always been to promote excellence and responsibility among the companies in this space,” Anthony Rivera, an organizer of the event and co-founder of AJ Studios, said. “Our roots are in the camming community, and we serve this group made up of countless independent performers, providing an opportunity for all adults who wish to make a living and support their families and themselves through today’s technology.”
“Of course, with this opportunity comes a great responsibility to do the right thing and to help ensure that only those who are legally able to enjoy camming and other adult entrepreneurial activities are doing so,” Rivera added. “This is why we support ASACP and its mission to educate and professionalize the industry in the name of protecting children, as well as restrict attendance at our event to adult business professionals only.”
“ASACP thanks Cherry Pimps, YNOT Group and LALExpo for these companies’ outstanding commitment, generosity, and long-term leadership in supporting the association and its mission to protect the daily digital lives of minors,” Henning said.
“ASACP’s family of sponsors are united in pursuing this goal and represent the best that the industry has to offer,” he added. “We encourage other digital media brands and their service providers to step up and join us in building a better future for all of us.”
