Lesbian & Queer
Women's Marketing

The most under-marketed half of the community — and the one with more homes, more kids, more arenas, and longer loyalty. "LGBTQ+ marketing" has meant gay men to most brands for forty years; meanwhile lesbian pop tops the charts, the WNBA sells out, and the bars are multiplying. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the lesbian, sapphic, and queer women's market — the seat's been kept warm.

The Opportunity

A Three-Pronged Campaign Approach
Built for the Market Brands Forgot

There are a variety of ways in which we can help you reach the lesbian and queer women's market — from the two-mom nesting households and the event travelers on the Dinah–Women's-Week–Olivia circuit to the WNBA and NWSL sports economy, Gen Z's sapphic wave, and the professionals. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus on the Lesbian Market. The fastest credibility test this audience runs on any campaign is simple — are there any women in it? — and we build so the answer is always yes.

First, we focus on getting your brand out to a hyper-targeted audience online via lesbian-market data selects layered onto LGBTQ+ inventory — display, mobile, and video — geo-targeted to the ZIP code, with CTV via ACR. Second, we run share-of-voice social, keeping your brand present in the community's own trust networks. Third, we curate and amplify UGC — real households, real athletes, real bar nights — with your brand at the center, not adjacent.

This includes our #ILoveGay Network (with #ILoveLesbians among its communities), now reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers, plus event activation around The Dinah, Women's Week, Lesbian Visibility Week, Olivia departures, and the WNBA/NWSL season. Our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.

Our Campaign Framework

Three Prongs.
Complete Lesbian-Market Coverage.

A comprehensive strategy that reaches the lesbian and queer women's market through in-market advertising, social share-of-voice, AND curated UGC amplification — simultaneously, women-first.

Prong One
In-Market Data Advertising

We reach the community with lesbian-market data selects layered onto LGBTQ+ programmatic inventory — display, mobile, and video — geo-targeted to the ZIP code, with CTV and ACR, tuned to the household and family categories where this market over-indexes.

Prong Two
Share-of-Voice Social

We keep your brand present in the community's trust networks — organically and through paid amplification via our #ILoveGay network (#ILoveLesbians included) — across Facebook, Instagram, Threads and more, and in the leagues, book clubs, and group chats that actually move purchases.

Prong Three
UGC & Event Activation
