Eric Matis to Leave Playboy Enterprises - GoFuckYourself.com

Eric · 05-20-2010, 04:21 PM

Effective May 28th 2010, after 9 years, I will be stepping down from my position at Playboy to pursue other ventures. The opportunities and experiences that I have had over the years have been second to none, and many of them I will carry with me for a lifetime. The number of people that I would like to thank is endless, and I look forward to maintaining all of the relationships I have made inside of the company over the past several years.

Moving forward, Playboy and I have structured a deal that will retain my services on a consultant basis to help manage and maintain GFY, as well as continue to manage GFY?s vast advertising client list. I am also looking forward to continuing to work directly with Playboy to keep evolving GFY. Additionally, I have also been retained for consulting and sponsorship sales for Webmaster Access Amsterdam 2010, and we are very excited about the event this year.

Playboy's affiliate business is in good hands with Reena. The team is very solid and I expect that the high level of content, tools, and affiliate marketing opportunities will continue without skipping a beat.

After 14 years in the business I have no intentions of leaving, and am looking forward to seeing the industry?s continued turn around in the coming years. I am also looking forward to seeing everyone at upcoming events such as Xbiz Summer Forum, The AVN Show, and of course I hope to see you all at Webmaster Access Amsterdam!!!

I hope everyone around here understands just how important you've been to GFY. Case in point, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have 600 + posts in 9 years.
