Enjoy The Afterglow.
I'm Stu Nugent, founder and creative director at The Afterglow. Since we might be working together, it's only fair you know a little bit about me.
My Story
I had my first official adult industry job in 2005, co-running a tiny, but punchy, online sex toy retailer called GetMePleasure. After three years of building that company up, I moved on to the brand marketing team at Ann Summers, the UK's largest lingerie and pleasure brand. Five years later, and after running a boutique BDSM brand on the side, I headed to luxury sex toy brand LELO in Shanghai, and later Zagreb, where I rose to the position of Global Brand Manager.
​
After a short stint in a jail cell in Kazakhstan (we don't have time ok) I popped up again in Berlin, eventually becoming the Senior Creative at Wow Tech, which became Lovehoney Group in 2022.
​
There's little I haven't seen or done, and I'm fearless. After so, so, so very long in the pleasure industry, I chose to stand up my own creative communications agency, The Afterglow, to offer my experience to a broader set of businesses and individuals.

It's an exciting time. If there's something you want to talk about, don't hesitate.
