Film, television, music, books, and theatre — the culture the community didn't just consume but built, and the most engaged fandoms on earth. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach across LGBTQ+ entertainment. A focused, two-fold approach built for studios, streamers, labels, publishers, producers, festivals, and entertainment brands.
The Opportunity
There are a variety of ways in which we can market to LGBTQ+ entertainment audiences — from prestige-cinema and awards watchers to Drag Race loyalists, chart-topping music fans, BookTok readers, and Broadway devotees. Across film, television, music, books, and theatre, this is the culture the community didn't just consume but built. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus on LGBTQ+ Entertainment. Our campaigns are two-fold.
First, we focus on getting your title, release, or production 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+ entertainment 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 — an audience that doesn't just watch, read, and listen, it markets, through the edits, fan art, reviews, and watch-party energy that keep releases alive. 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 LGBTQ+ entertainment audiences through paid advertising channels AND organic social amplification — simultaneously, across every screen, stage, page, and playlist.
We focus on getting your title, release, or production 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 entertainment data selects — genre and platform affinities, streaming subscribers, concert- and festival-goers, avid readers, and theatregoers — onto LGBTQ+ websites, and geo-target down to the ZIP code for release windows, tour stops, and premiere cities.
For advanced placements, we utilize Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology — serving trailers and campaign films within LGBTQ+ households on all smart devices, including Connected TVs (CTV), precisely to the audience the work was made for.
We tap into the online conversations and communities on your work's behalf — amplifying your trailers, singles, cover reveals, reviews and press within LGBTQ+ entertainment 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 critics, podcasts, BookTok creators, and influencer partnerships for the trust transfer that turns a release into a movement.
From festival season and awards corridors to Pride, premiere, and tour windows, we help your work show up where the fandom already gathers — hosting the room, not interrupting it.
