From the brand that ran the marketplace's greatest campaign to the buyers filling the funnel today — partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into LGBTQ+ car buyers. A focused, two-fold approach built for automakers, dealer groups, and mobility brands.
The Opportunity
There are a variety of ways in which we can market to LGBTQ+ car buyers — from first-time buyers and EV intenders to luxury shoppers and loyal Outback owners. 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+ Automotive. 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+ car-culture and enthusiast communities on Facebook, 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. With 85% of LGBTQ+ adults owning or leasing a car and 47% intending to buy within three years (CMI), the funnel is always full — and our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide your campaign: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.
Our Campaign Framework
A comprehensive strategy that reaches LGBTQ+ car buyers 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 automotive data selects — in-market shoppers, EV intenders, brand and body-style affinities — onto LGBTQ+ websites, and geo-target down to the ZIP code around dealer rooftops, event weekends, and feeder metros.
For advanced placements, we utilize Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology — securing premium inventory to serve impressions specifically within LGBTQ+ households on all smart devices, including Connected TVs (CTV), where automotive brand films live.
We tap into the online conversations and communities on your brand's behalf — amplifying your content, your social posts, your videos and more within LGBTQ+ automotive and enthusiast communities on Facebook, 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 — plus partnerships with queer road-trip and car creators for the trust transfer that moves a considered purchase.
From Pride fleets and Dykes on Bikes heritage to queer car clubs and van-life content, we help your brand show up where LGBTQ+ car buyers already are — authentically, and year-round.
The category with the marketplace's greatest case study — and its freshest cautionary tale.

The Data Behind LGBTQ+ Automotive
A snapshot from CMI's LGBTQ community & auto ownership research — the category's best community dataset, and the foundation of the 2026 LGBTQ+ Automotive Market Guide.
85% of LGBTQ+ adults own or lease a car and 95% hold a license — with 47% intending to buy within three years. Roughly one in four is an active new-car prospect at any time.
25% of intenders name "brand is LGBTQ-friendly" a primary purchase consideration — ahead of brand loyalty itself. Authentic support is a bottom-line signal, not a nicety.
Only 48% can name any LGBTQ-friendly auto brand — and Subaru scores 88% while no other brand cracks 12%. For everyone else, the #2 trust slot is unclaimed.
