Heavy's first PSP advertising partner is Unilever's Axe brand, which will offer episodes of its branded content series Evan and Gareth on Heavy.com for PSP downloads.

The partnership is a clear message from Sony regarding its target audience which as David Carson, Co-CEO of Heavy.com claims means that Sony recognized that our unique and signature content was ideal to reach its target demographic of 18-34 year old men...

Sony's PSP content partnership with Heavy extends an ongoing relationship. Recently, Sony commissioned Heavy to create a Machinima series to promote its God of War gaming title. Heavy's series, Pimp My Weapon has been seen by three million viewers since its debut less than three weeks ago.
