Pink Media & the #ILoveGay Content Marketing Ad Network

Introducing Pink Media's #ILoveGay Content Marketing Ad Network. By taking some of our tried-and-true strategy when it comes to using the art of storytelling when it comes to promoting our clients, along with our years of experience in helping companies large and small to get their 'story to tell' out there to a wider yet more relevant and targeted LGBTQ+ audience, we've now taken this to a whole new level, working with a wider variety of LGBTQ+ media, including bloggers, videographers, influencers and more.

#ILoveGay LGBTQ+ Content Marketing Strategy Partners

Having recently lost our #ILoveGay X platform, we are currently in the process of redefining what the #ILoveGay Network means and how we can help our clients in an even more effective way moving forward... What we are looking to do is develop a network of LGBTQ+ media, influencers and content creators who can expand upon the work and the strategy we have developed, to create the new #ILoveGay Content Marketing Ad Network.

X (formerly Twitter) Bans Pink Media & #ILoveGay Network, suppressing over 1 Million LGBTQ Voices. Who’s Next?

From a business angle, we were hesitant to report this and put out a statement, in hopes that we would be able to recover our 250+ profiles on X from what they are calling a ‘permanent suspension.’ But since the morning of July 4th, 2024, when our entire network of profiles was taken down, we’ve received numerous emails, DMs and texts from LGBTQ+ folks from around the world asking us what has happened.

Articles We've Been A Part of for Pride Month June 2024

Check out some of the articles we were a part of for Pride Month 2024. The larger story that's been taking hold this Pride Month is how larger companies and brands have taken a few steps back with their LGBTQ+ outreach this year, and it's been the power of LGBTQ+ small business that has really risen to the occasion when it comes to helping support LGBTQ+ media, marketing firms and LGBTQ+ non-profits.

Pink Media Celebrates LGBTQ+ Small Business Successes Amid Pride 2024 Challenges

While much of corporate America has decided to sit this Pride season out, LGBTQ+ small business has risen to the challenge by supporting LGBTQ+ media, marketing and non-profit firms in 2024. The results thus far have been amazing!

Here we are in the final days of Pride Month, June 2024, and we want to acknowledge and show our appreciation and gratitude to the many LGBTQ+ small businesses that have stepped up to offset some of the advertising revenue losses experienced by LGBTQ media like Pink Media this year. Many large brands chose to sideline themselves for Pride 2024, still recovering from the backlash faced by Bud Light, Target, and even Disney in 2023. As a result, much of corporate America has decided to sit this Pride season out.

Leland Vittert - On Balance: Target to Scale Back LGBTQ+ Merchandise

Check us out... Leland and I chatting about Bud Light, Target & Disney and the effects of the 'double boycott'. When businesses pull back from their support of the LGBTQ+ community, the pullbacks feel like a reaction not well thought through, but for us, this is our lives, it's personal. We don't have the luxury of just pulling back, jumping back into the closet and waiting for a better day.

The Evolution of LGBTQ+ Media as we enter 2024

In the LGBTQ+ world, that is our #ILoveGay business model. A hybrid media & marketing firm with a dose of content creation brought in as needed. We've had a record year in 2023 with bringing elements of this strategy to the marketplace... and we're poised to bring this all together in an even stronger way for our clients in 2024, with our #ILoveGay network now reaching over 1.5 million followers and growing fast.

LGBTQ+ Entertainment Marketing

...and then we amplify that content via our #ILoveGay social media network, keeping that content out there and visible to the LGBTQ+ community online on a more regular and consistent basis. Paid campaigns that take this amplification to the next level perform even better, with impressions, engagements and click-throughs that rival any banner ad campaigns from a decade ago.

Removing the Gatekeepers in the Way of YOU Getting Your LGBTQ+ Message Out

So how does an LGBTQ+ media & marketing company fit in in today's self-publishing and self-promoting world? The answer is by partnering with you to help take YOUR content and get it out there to an even wider while more targeted LGBTQ+ audience.

Trouble Targeting LGBTQ+ on Social Media?

I don't know about you, but for us, when it comes to advertising, Facebook and Instagram targeting has become more and more of a challenge lately.

You've got the content, we've got the LGBTQ+ targeted audience & distribution

...in this adversity lies opportunity for both destinations and brands, to partner and team up with LGBTQ+ media such as #ILoveGay, allowing us to run your LGBTQ+ content for you. You'll benefit by the increased exposure your organization will be receiving from a specifically LGBTQ+ audience... and that's not just random LGBTQ+ exposure. It's targeted to LGBTQ+ individuals who have shown an interest in travel to your destination, or perhaps have shown an interest in your company's product or service category, such as travel, theatre, sports, food and so much more.

Pink Media at the Nexus of LGBTQ+ PR & Advertising

I'd like to take this time to summarize who we are, what we do and how we believe we can partner with you to best reach your target market within the LGBTQ+ community online. First, Pink Media's business strategy... it's a cutting-edge strategy that lies at the nexus of LGBTQ+ PR & Advertising, with an #ILoveGay twist! Our job is to keep your message alive and in front of your targeted LGBTQ+ audience 24/7, 365 days per year.

Pink Media - Meta's Launch of Threads

Let's talk about Threads. But first, some context... we all know what Stories are, but remember back when they were just Snaps? Then the Snaps technology was "borrowed" by all of the major social media platforms and became Stories. The same thing happened with Reels... once upon a time they were just TikToks. Now they are Shorts and Reels.

Pink Media at the Intersection of LGBTQ+ PR & Advertising

As we wrap up Pride Month 2023, we believe we can safely say that our business model we've been refining over the past few years has finally come together as a true, new LGBTQ+ media strategy that we can now take to market for the next several years.

#ILoveGay Network Now at One Million Followers and Growing Fast!

With our #ILoveGay network now reaching over 1,000,000+ followers and growing fast, our strength in reaching a targeted LGBTQ+ audience anywhere in the world just reached a new height.

Reaching the LGBTQ+ European Market

With our #ILoveGay network now reaching over 1,000,000+ followers and growing, our strength in the European market allows us to offer our clients unprecedented reach into targeting LGBTQ+ consumers across the European continent. The power of social media advertising is in our opportunity to reach 2nd degree contacts, a version of "friends of friends". Meaning that if a single social media profile has 5,000 followers, we can target and reach their followers as well. If they average 1,000 followers each, that is a potential audience of 5,000,000. Layering on additional targeting, such as reaching an LGBTQ+ audience interested in sports, travel, theatre, movies and more allows for a strong audience size our clients can get their message in front of at a fraction of the cost of traditional targeted advertising to reach this niche LGBTQ+ community online.

Strategy, Performance & New Customer Acquisition

At Pink Media, we can confirm that this is indeed the case! Based on our growing client base with dedicated marketing budgets on social media, we've decided to emphasize our #ILoveGay social media network even more by using the full force of its 200+ social media profiles. We can now reach over a million followers and it's growing rapidly! Join us and we can market your organization on our #ILoveGay social media network, reaching our vast locally-engaged audiences that span the globe.
