We'll also be featuring blog posts and articles related to some of the latest in cutting-edge LGBTQ+ social media topics, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Video has become one of the most important content elements in marketing a company today. There are a WIDE variety of video content styles to choose from, ranging from educational to entertainment, and all points in between. Assuming you've created your video strategy and content, I'll show you how we maximize our video's impact and reach online.
In order for media companies to survive in this decade, they need to modify their business model to realize that the "distribution" side of their business has become an ever evolving, ever growing pillar in their business landscape. Sometimes a story has over 100 different online locations where it is being spread. How content is distributed, both by the media companies' social media platforms and by online individuals and influencers sharing that content, is fast becoming the dominant part of a media company's content outreach mix.
During this presentation, we will explore different ways destination organizations keep their communities and residents in front of LGBTQ+ travelers year-round. We'll walk through the basics including targeted LGBTQ+ advertising and monitoring conversations specific to your region, as well as discuss how to engage with relevant user-generated content, bringing your destination organization into these LGBTQ+ conversations. We'll also highlight some of the various niche groups within the LGBTQ+ travel community that can be reached, including the circuit party crowd, parents, sports fans and more.
It's this new marketing environment, especially as it pertains to social media, that we are focusing on. Press releases should now be split into two components: the press release itself, and the press release posted on the PR company's website in the form of an article. This article must have links, photos, and videos embedded into this article so that it captures the attention of the reader. To further guarantee that LGBTQ+ media pick up the story, there should be additional links to high-resolution photos, as well direct links to videos that can easily be embedded on other sites.
Spotify has recently announced an upgrade to its podcasts, now allowing for video podcasts to be included as well. With Spotify's amazing reach, we're happy to announce that our #ILoveGay Today show's videos have a new home on Spotify, as well as being available on YouTube and Facebook, with smaller clips being displayed on Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Our team doesn't just "boost a post" to your Facebook page's followers... we take it several steps further and create an audience that is specific to your target LGBTQ+ demographic. The example shown here is targeting LGBTQ+ travelers who live in New York and have shown an interest in travel to Spain. Including other platforms such as mobile apps, banner ads and video, we can drill down even further, reaching specifically adventure travelers, cruise travelers, first class airline travelers, etc.
There are a myriad of communities within the millions of LGBTQ+ people online, ranging from theatre lovers, sports fans, auto enthusiasts, movie lovers and more. One of the strongest is the BEAR community. Not only do we have a strong online presence with our #ILoveGay network on Twitter... we also work closely with some of the strongest LGBTQ+ media focusing specifically on the BEAR community.
The Health & Wellness category has become one of our top performers in 2022. We specialize in working with clients to develop their online LGBTQ+ targeted marketing strategy. This often includes mobile app targeting, video placements and targeted social media outreach, which resonates extremely well with health and wellness organizations. Our company has been in the LGBTQ+ online advertising marketplace for 27+ years now, and we'd like to put that experience to use for your organization as well.
Introducing our most popular LGBTQ+ advertising & marketing offerings in 2022, as businesses ranging from destinations to film, from music to health... begin LGBTQ+ outreach again, being creative with less $$$ to spend by focusing more carefully on their exact LGBTQ+ demographic.
Join Auston Matta, Marketing Manager of IGLTA, and Matt Skallerud, President of Pink Media, as we discuss the value of the LGBTQ+ traveler as we enter 2022, along with some marketing strategies and techniques to reach this demographic.

What an amazing time for so many of us to have the opportunity to reconnect in the real world again, safely! Between the IGLTA Convention in Atlanta and the Connect Thrive Summit in Las Vegas, tied in with IPW, September became a month to remember!
I don't know about you, but next week's IGLTA Convention in Atlanta has more meaning than usual... for most of us, it's our first real convention/conference in the "real world" that we'll be attending since COVID struck in March 2020. Talking to other attendees, the build up of anticipation and excitement seems to be already taking hold for those who have made the choice to mask up, get our vaccines and head on down for an event that will be bringing one of the most dynamic sectors of the LGBTQ+ business marketplace together, TRAVEL!
We are pleased to announce our first #ILoveGay Today series of interviews edited into a longer form short-form documentary about LGBTQ+ bars and how they have adapted during the pandemic has been accepted into the Palm Springs Cinema Diverse LGBTQ+ film festival.

Tag #ILoveGay on Twitter... we'll help spread the word as well.
We recently wrote a blog post summarizing some of our #ILoveGay work in Iowa, in partnership with Tim Nedoba of GoGuide Iowa and Coralville Pride. This summary provides a pretty good overview of what #ILoveGay offers globally as well... With a focus on just the LGBTQ+ community throughout the state, #ILoveGay Iowa is a new type of media company that brings to the forefront the voices of both LGBTQ+ organizations, as well as local LGBTQ+ Iowans, placing a more balanced emphasis on the content developed by both.
Are you a "Social Capitalist" or a "Social Socialist"? When you post, are you only asking, "what's in it for me?" or are you asking, "what's in it for us?" By "us" we mean your social media followers, your audience and client base, the LGBTQ+ community, and everyone who's paying attention to - and engaged with - YOU online.
