The Opportunity

A Three-Pronged Employer-Brand Approach
Refined Over Years

There are a variety of ways in which we can help employers reach the LGBTQ+ workforce — from the Gen Z candidates verifying your inclusion record before they apply to the DEI practitioners and ERG leaders who shape it from inside. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the LGBTQ+ community, with a focus on Employment, Jobs, Diversity & Inclusion. Inclusion was never a program — it's whether your people can do their best work without editing who they are — and marketing it authentically takes more than a June post.

To stand out among the world-class employers in this space, we run a proven three-pronged strategy: programmatic targeting of LGBTQ+ individuals with demonstrated diversity & inclusion interest; share-of-voice participation in D&I conversations via LGBTQ+ writers, bloggers, and influencers; and user-generated-content engagement that puts your organization at the center of community conversations — keeping your message alive 24/7, 365 days per year.

This is paired with our LGBTQ+ B2B Outreach Program — LinkedIn, email, and group marketing reaching DEI practitioners, ERG leaders, and LGBTQ+ decision-makers through our 31,000+ member LinkedIn group and 16,500+ B2B email list. Our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.
