But you failed to do it over the last 13 years. Possibly because you were writing letters to the clients, rather than the agency. I imagine you didn't even get a reply.

This is how it works. Large companies employ ad agencies to to their media planning. They pay them a lot so they do not have to deal with people like you trying to tell them how to advertise. Media Buyers have a roster of companies they buy from. You have to court the agencies for a long time, and then persuade them they want to work with porn. They don't want to do this.

Because movie studios and agencies do not want to be associated with porn. The public outcry from the religous right would be huge and would cost them so much in sales it would not be worth even thinking about.

I am amazed it's taken you 13 years of failing to sell ads to them to work this out.

Here's a tip, agencies don't respond to letters either. You need to go in and present. And to get the presentation they need to know and like you. So you need to wine and dine them first.

I sold to mainstream ad space for 9 years before working in adult.

Most people do not buy ads on how cheap they are, but on results. Doesn't matter if it is expensive of cheap, as long as there is ROI. Cheap doesn't usually mean good though.
