Mike Barbella Joins Elegant Angel

CANOGA PARK, Calif. — Adult entertainment studio Elegant Angel has tapped Mike Barbella as the company’s marketing and promotions manager.

Barbella, who has more than 15 years of experience in the adult industry, has worked for companies such as Metro and Jill Kelly Productions.

“I am honored to be given this opportunity to work with Elegant Angel,” Barbella said. “The dynamics at this company are of the highest level of excellence. It’s the best I have ever observed in all my years in the industry. Patrick Collins has assembled a staff of amazingly talented people. They are not only expertly skilled at the position they hold, but also completely work together as a team.”

While Barbella said he was excited about joining a great company, he conceded that Elegant Angel has room for improvement.

“Elegant Angel could be considered the ‘sleeper’ company of the 2000s,” he said. “During recent years the brand name has grown prominently, and the fan base has expanded. But, the task at hand is to create greater access to the distributors, the retailers and, ultimately, the consumer. I want the Elegant Angel brand name to become the apple pie of the industry. We are a company committed to excellence and we will not falter.”

Barbella said the company plans to unveil new point of purchase materials at its Adult Entertainment Expo Booth.

In the meantime, Elegant Angel has released “Big Wet Asses 10,” ”Big Black Wet Asses 6,” “All By Myself” and “Sperm Swappers 3.”
