The Opportunity

A Two-Fold Campaign Approach
Built for the Early Adopters

There are a variety of ways in which we can market with technology — from the gadget-forward early adopters and queer gamers to creators and streamers, tech professionals, privacy-first users, and the app-economy natives reachable in-app like nowhere else. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus on Tech, Gadgets & Early Adopters. Our campaigns are two-fold.

First, we focus on getting your launch or product out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more — layering tech-and-gadget data selects onto community inventory, geo-targeted down to the ZIP code, with CTV (the streaming-era buy for the streaming-era audience). Second, we get your message out via strategically-placed social media posts and the review layer — because with this market, queer tech reviewers, streamers, and Discord communities move purchases.

This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising, our #ILoveGay Network (now reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers), and LGBTQ+ mobile-app placements — the endemic channel, reaching verified queer audiences at daily-use frequency. Our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.

Our Campaign Framework

Part One + Part Two.
Complete Technology-Market Coverage.

A comprehensive strategy that reaches queer early adopters through data-driven advertising AND organic social, review-layer & mobile-app amplification — simultaneously.

Part One

Hyper-Targeted Digital Advertising

We focus on getting your launch or product 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 tech-and-gadget data selects onto LGBTQ+ inventory, and geo-target down to the ZIP code — from national launches to local retail and event windows.

For advanced placements, we utilize Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology — serving launch films and brand content within LGBTQ+ households on all smart devices, including Connected TVs (CTV), the streaming-era audience's screen.

Display Ads Mobile Ads Video Ads CTV ACR Technology

Part Two

Review-Layer, App & Community Amplification

We tap into the online conversations and communities on your behalf — amplifying your launches, features, and stories within LGBTQ+ tech communities on Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.

This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay social media network — plus LGBTQ+ mobile-app placements (the endemic channel) and the queer tech reviewers, streamers, and Discord communities that actually move this market.

For B2B and recruiting, we activate conference sponsorships (Lesbians Who Tech, Out in Tech) and the LinkedIn LGBTQ+ group's 31,000+ professionals — plus #ILoveGay Today interviews with founders and technologists.
