GONE WILD
Girls Gone Wild (GGW) is an adult entertainment franchise created by Joe Francis in 1997, who occasionally appears as the host of the videos.
Girls Gone Wild was known for its early use of direct-response marketing techniques, including its late-night infomercials that began airing in 1997.
The videos typically involve camera crews at party locations engaging young college-aged women who expose their bodies or act “wild”, especially during Spring break.
Since 2008, the Girls Gone Wild products have been sold primarily through their website as streaming videos, downloads, and DVDs.
In 2014, the company was sold to Bang Bros.
Joe Francis is headed to prison for the second time. May he rot there. The founder of Girls Gone Wild was convicted Monday on misdemeanor charges of assault and false imprisonment.

An influencer assists companies in “influencer marketing,” a form of advertising that builds brand authority on the back of another person’s reputation.
