How DJD Media Turned Back-to-Back Nominations Into a New Era of Adult Entertainment

Sarah Davis · 2026-08-12

When Don Juan DeMarko opened DJD Media Marketing & Management just three years ago, he didn't just want to run another PR firm. He wanted to build something that actually cared about the people behind the performances. Now, that vision has paid off in a big way: the company just earned its second consecutive nomination for Best PR Firm at the 2026 Urban X Awards. It's not every day you see a young agency pull off back-to-back nominations that fast. But DeMarko isn't surprised. He's been in this game long enough to know that authenticity and hard work eventually get noticed. "What I do is all about my clients—they are what matters," he says. "Seeing their growth and celebrating their victories is what drives this company every single day. We are building DJD Media for the future of adult entertainment and the passionate souls who make this industry what it is." ### A Year of Wins Across the Board The Urban X nomination isn't just a standalone trophy. It caps off a banner year for DJD Media's roster of talent and production partners, and the list of achievements reads like a who's who of industry milestones: - **Reagan Foxx** took home the coveted Best Actress Award in 2026, a career-defining moment. - **Bo$mane Dre** won Best Male Performer of the Year at the 2026 AltSta Awards. - **Brandi Swan** secured a major nomination for Best New Starlet at the 2026 Nightmoves Awards. - **Red Bottom Productions** keeps raising the bar as an industry leader in innovation, quality, and smart business strategy. - **Richard Mann** (Evil Angel) was inducted into the 2025 AVN Hall of Fame and remains a force in professional production—he's been a client since day one. That's not luck. That's a strategy built on relationships and a genuine belief in the people you represent. ### What's Next: Expansion, Production, and a New Website DJD Media isn't slowing down. The agency is expanding its footprint and getting ready to launch a next-generation website. Plus, there's a new production studio on the horizon, run by a close client, trusted friend, and family member. For DeMarko, this signals a return to production and a major evolution for the brand. The roster is also growing in exciting ways. Alongside Urban X Hall of Famer Richard Mann, you've got newly signed powerhouse Shaundam Von Smakavitz, industry legends Lynn LeMay and artist extreme Lady Cinder, plus key collaborators Ny Ny Lew and Stryker Knight Films featuring August Heat. It's a mix of icons, innovators, and rising stars that keeps things fresh. "Together, the DJD Media family remains dedicated to ushering in a transparent, ground-breaking era of marketing, representation, and production for performers and fans alike." ### Celebrating Urban X Weekend If you're heading to Urban X weekend, you'll see the whole team out in full force. They'll be hitting every official event, including parties hosted by their own star performers, Ny Ny Lew and Lex The Flame. It's a chance to celebrate with fans and peers, and they wouldn't miss it. DJD Media wishes the best of luck to every nominee in every category. If you want to join the celebration, you can grab official tickets and event passes through TicketLeap or Ticketmaster. ### The Man Behind the Mission DeMarko's journey started with a pen and a passion. He wrote for some of the biggest magazines and digital blogs in the industry before stepping into the independent world. Guided by a lifelong appreciation for the beauty of women and the transformative power of erotica—a medium he believes can touch hearts and change minds like nothing else—he quickly evolved from writer to visionary creator. The moment he led his first photoshoot and feature, he was hooked. There was no turning back. He went on to become an editor with XCritic.com, where he built the skills and connections that would eventually fuel DJD Media. ### Why This Matters for the Industry This isn't just another award nomination. It's proof that a people-first approach can thrive in adult entertainment. In an industry that often moves fast and forgets the human element, DJD Media is showing that loyalty, transparency, and genuine passion still win. For performers and fans alike, that's a shift worth watching.
