The Opportunity

A Two-Fold Campaign Approach
Built for the LGBTQ+ Elder

There are a variety of ways in which we can market to LGBTQ+ elders — from the equity-rich actives and solo agers to HIV's long-term survivors, trans elders, elders of color, and the caregivers. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus on LGBTQ+ Seniors. Our campaigns are two-fold.

First, we focus on getting your programs, communities, or brand out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, video advertising, and more — layering seniors data selects onto community inventory, geo-targeted down to the ZIP code around communities, centers, and retirement corridors, with CTV (this audience's primary screen). Second, we get your message out via strategically-placed social media posts and community amplification — because with this cohort, Facebook, email, community legacy media, and in-person gatherings lead the mix, and peer proof rules.

This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay Network, now reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers — with creative that respects the audience: no condescension, no crisis-only framing, plenty of joy. 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 Seniors-Market Coverage.

A comprehensive strategy that reaches LGBTQ+ elders through data-driven advertising AND organic social & community amplification — simultaneously.

Part One

Hyper-Targeted Digital Advertising

We focus on getting your programs, communities, or brand out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, video advertising, and more.

On the programmatic ad exchange, we layer seniors data selects onto LGBTQ+ inventory, and geo-target down to the ZIP code around senior communities, centers, and snowbird / retirement corridors.

For advanced placements, we utilize Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology — serving campaign films within LGBTQ+ households on all smart devices, including Connected TVs (CTV), this cohort's primary screen.

Part Two

Community & Social Amplification

We tap into the online conversations and communities on your behalf — amplifying your programs, communities, and elder stories within LGBTQ+ communities on Facebook (this cohort's platform), plus email, LinkedIn, Threads and more.

This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay social media network — plus the community legacy media and center newsletters that carry unmatched trust with this audience.

From SAGE Centers and Prime Timers dinners to cruise decks and Medicare-enrollment season, we help you show up where the audience already is — plus #ILoveGay Today interviews with elder voices, organization leaders, and community historians.
