The community built fashion's trend engine — the only question is whether the brand credits the source. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the LGBTQ+ style community. A focused, two-fold approach built for fashion, apparel, retail, and beauty brands.
The Opportunity
There are a variety of ways in which we can market to the LGBTQ+ style consumer — from the gender-free generation and trans and nonbinary shoppers to masc-of-center dressers, the fashion-forward core, and the professional drag and performance tier. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus in the world of LGBTQ+ Fashion & Style. Our campaigns are two-fold.
First, we focus on getting your message and story out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more. Second, we get your message out via strategically-placed social media posts, both organically and utilizing paid social media advertising — tapping into the strong LGBTQ+ style communities on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.
This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay Network, now reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers — where fashion & style rank among the strongest engagement communities. Our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.
Our Campaign Framework
A comprehensive strategy that reaches the LGBTQ+ style community through paid advertising channels AND organic social amplification — simultaneously.
We focus on getting your message and story out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more.
On the programmatic ad exchange, we layer style & fashion data selects — apparel and beauty shoppers, luxury and streetwear affinities, gender-free intent — onto LGBTQ+ websites, and geo-target down to the ZIP code around stores, pop-ups, and fashion-week and Pride moments.
For advanced placements, we utilize Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology — securing premium inventory to serve campaign films and lookbook content within LGBTQ+ households on all smart devices, including Connected TVs (CTV).
We tap into the online conversations and communities on your brand's behalf — amplifying your lookbooks, your drops, your designer stories and more within LGBTQ+ style communities on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.
This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay social media network — now reaching over 1.5 million followers and growing — paired with queer stylists, fit-check creators, and drag artists for the trust transfer that turns queer taste into global trend.
From fashion weeks and the Met Gala conversation to Pride season and ball events, we help your brand show up where the culture already is — authentically, and year-round.
