Girls Gone Wild (GGW) was an adult entertainment franchise created by Joe Francis in 1997,[1] who occasionally appears as the host of the videos.
Girls Gone Wild was known for its early use of direct-response marketing techniques, including its late-night infomercials that began airing in 1997.[2] The videos typically involve camera crews at party locations engaging young college-aged women who expose their bodies or act "wild", especially during Spring break.[1] Since 2008, the Girls Gone Wild products have been sold primarily through their website as streaming videos, downloads, and DVDs.
In February 2013, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[3]
In 2014, the company was sold to Bang Bros.[4]
