Our work in the world of entertainment has been quite strong this year. Films, books, theatrical productions and music releases all share the same challenge: the LGBTQ+ audience is passionate and highly engaged, but the window to reach them keeps getting shorter. Our answer is to stop treating coverage as a one-day event.

Salah Bashir and First to Leave the Party

We want to thank QueerForty.com for the amazing interview and cover story they did with one of our clients, Salah Bashir, based out of Toronto, Canada. Salah has a long history of support for the local LGBTQ+ community in Toronto, and has leveraged some of his business success over the years into a variety of events and programs specifically tailored for us.

He wrote a book — a captivating memoir, actually — entitled "First to Leave the Party: My Life Among Ordinary People… Who Happen to Be Famous", which was the focus for this interview. Thanks again, QueerForty.com!

"We monitor and identify quality content — then we amplify it, keeping it visible to the LGBTQ+ community on a regular and consistent basis."

Turning Coverage Into a Campaign

Also in the world of entertainment, we've been able to put our "monitoring of the Internet" to good use, identifying wonderful articles and film festival posts for LGBTQ+ films including The Mattachine Family, Cassandro and All of Us Strangers.

As part of our client offerings, we monitor and identify quality content — including strong user-generated content — 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.

How the Strategy Works
1
Monitor. We watch the LGBTQ+ conversation across social, media outlets and film festival channels — surfacing reviews, interviews, festival posts and organic fan content as it appears.
2
Identify. Not every mention is worth amplifying. We select the coverage and user-generated content that genuinely moves an audience — the piece that earns a share, not just a scroll.
3
Amplify. That content goes out through the #ILoveGay network as organic posts, then gets extended with targeted paid advertising — so it keeps working for weeks, not hours.
