The Beginnings
We were founded in 2005 by two employees of an uber elite mainstream consulting team. We are talking elite as in entrepreneurs who in their 20s were already running strategy for some major players in the corporate game. One dude (Jimmy James), was always around the adult industry in various capacities (offline) since his college years and had already worked with adult clients in digital marketing. The other dude was more on the investment side of the house and knew finances inside and out and together, they launched an operating subsidiary for the consulting firm focused the adult industry, and Huge Ape was born. Yes, Huge Ape is still owned by a parent company – but we do what we want 🙂
We’ve had a focus on adult entertainment for more than a decade and also work in highly disruptive and growing industries. Our love is building things – creative marketing and strategic branding. We have grown from a small affiliate marketing team which had a focus on high converting strategies and conversion/sales optimization. Over the years we began working with some of the very same partner companies in building and growing, which allowed us to expand and invest in ourselves and our services. Throughout the years we’ve launched joint-venture partnerships and even funded our own projects.
Today and the Future
Our obsession with marketing is and will always be at the core of who we are, we’re all grown up now with new joint venture projects and partnerships. Some of our partners include small niche brands to big national brands, some in the US and also international based clients in Europe and Asia. We work with companies in verticals we enjoy, and whether it’s for a partner brand or our own brand, we do it with pride. We believe the things worth doing should be done with passion.

Our core values have always been to stay hungry and to do the things you love, we live this each and every day no matter where we are or what we are doing!
