Default Re: How Scott Coffman Would Fix Playboy

It's an iconic brand, but you have to move it away from the mundane and from the "old man" feeling that it has right now. Playboy hasn't done all that much to cultivate a younger crowd in the last 10 years, which means their fan base and target market is getting older, greyer, and dying off. A replacement for Hugh with a style and attitude that could connect with a younger crowd (think 25-40) would likely advance the brand a long way.

Playboy is "this close" to becoming an almost generic term rather than a brand, something they need to be very careful about.
