Los Angeles, November 21, 2023— Luxury pleasure brand FUN FACTORY has been nominated for FIVE awards, setting a new record for itself, at the 2024 XBIZ Awards. The nominations are in the following categories:
Luxury Brand of the Year
Excellence in Product Packaging
Luxury Pleasure Product/Line of the Year
Sex Toy of the Year — Non-Powered
Couples Toy of the Year
Nominees were selected based on nearly 6,000 pre-nomination entries submitted by members of the industry via XBIZ.net.
Kristen Tribby, Head of Global Marketing and Education at FUN FACTORY, comments: “One XBIZ nomination is huge. Five, though? That’s incredible, and it’s a new record for us. XBIZ is the heart of the industry, and the awards are the biggest celebration of what we do. It’s an honor, and we’re particularly proud to see FUN FACTORY get the nod for Luxury Brand of the Year, along with some really good competition. XBIZ has always been good for our industry—a rising tide lifts all ships, and it’s the customer who ultimately benefits from this recognition. So if we’re lucky enough to secure a win, it will be dedicated to them.”
Moreover, Michael Cox, Director of Sales at FUN FACTORY, was nominated in the Team Leadership category as part of the XBIZ 2024 Exec Awards.
The XBIZ Awards are one of the most important and recognized events for the pleasure industry. Held every year in Los Angeles and considered “the Oscars of sex,” the awards regularly attract mainstream celebrities, influencers, and journalists.
A nomination can be all that’s needed to move the needle for a pleasure brand. The official XBIZ logo on a brand’s product page informs a customer that the company and the product are reputable and, of course, pleasurable. FUN FACTORY has had multiple winning products in the past, including three in 2022 alone, and each of those products went on to be bestsellers.
The ceremony will take place Sunday, January 21 at the Hollywood Palladium. It will conclude “XBIZ week,” which includes the Vibe Expo and X3 Expo.
