Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Phillip Picardi (EIC/Chief Brand Officer: Playboy)
Q: How do you balance Playboy's legacy with today's culture and platform demands?
The guest argues for preserving the magazine's provocation and sexual language while expanding into fashion, wellness, politics, and social conversation, using women as experts and pursuing a more inclusive, contemporary approach.
Phillip Picardi (EIC/Chief Brand Officer: Playboy)
Q: What drew Playboy to bring you on in this dual role?
Picardi explains there was a business rationale: he has demonstrated the ability to grow audiences and develop brands that are social and digitally native, fitting Playboy's pivot toward a modern, culture-forward identity.
Best of PID: Willa Bennett (Editor: Cosmopolitan, Highsnobiety, GQ, Seventeen, more)
Q: What does it mean to run a 'beast' or 'organism' that includes print, digital, and commerce?
She explains that Highsnobiety's ecosystem blends editorial storytelling with a shop and agency work, arguing that all these arms are ways to tell stories and engage audiences, not separate siloed activities.
