Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ traveler — with a focused, two-fold approach built for destinations, hotels, cruises, and tour operators.
The Opportunity
Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ online consumer, with a focus in the world of LGBTQ+ Travel. Our campaigns are two-fold.
First, we focus on getting your message and story out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more. Second, we get your message out via strategically-placed social media posts, both organically and utilizing paid social media advertising — tapping into strong LGBTQ+ travel communities on Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.
This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay Network, now reaching several million LGBTQ+ travel consumers and growing. Our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide your destination or brand's LGBTQ+ campaign, focusing on impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.
Our Campaign Framework
A comprehensive strategy that reaches the LGBTQ+ travel community through paid advertising channels AND organic social amplification — simultaneously.
We focus on getting your message and story out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more.
On the programmatic ad exchange, we target a wide variety of characteristics unique to the world of Travel — layering data selects onto LGBTQ+ websites. Geo-target down to the zip code level — reaching only those feeder markets that are right for your destination.
For advanced placements, we utilize Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology — securing premium inventory to serve impressions specifically within the LGBTQ+ community on all smart devices, including Connected TVs (CTV).
We tap into the online conversations and communities on your destination's behalf — amplifying your content, your social media posts, your videos and more within LGBTQ+ travel communities on Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.
This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay social media network — now reaching over 1.5 million followers and growing — with dedicated travel channels like #ILoveGay Travel reaching travelers where they plan.
Every day is an opportunity for authentic LGBTQ+ engagement. We keep your destination's welcome visible 24/7, 365 days per year — not just during Pride.

Supporting Market Research
96% of LGBTQ+ adults take at least one leisure trip per year (vs. 64% nationally), and 84% hold a valid passport (vs. ~50% nationally). LGBTQ+ travelers take more trips and spend more per trip than the general population.
62% choose destinations based on LGBTQ+ friendliness and safety. Once a destination clears the safety bar, LGBTQ+ travelers choose like everyone else — so lead with the destination, and prove the welcome.
71% of LGBTQ+ consumers stay loyal to brands that show clear, consistent community support — year-round, not just during Pride Month. Pink Media's 365-day approach ensures consistent presence.
