Your LGBTQ+ film deserves to be seen.

Packages for distributors, streaming services and filmmakers.

Paid media is included in the price.

The Opportunity

A Two-Fold Campaign Approach
Built for LGBTQ+ Film & TV Fans

There are a variety of ways in which we can market to LGBTQ+ film and television audiences — from prestige-cinema and awards watchers to Drag Race loyalists, festival-goers, and the Gen Z superfans who turn shows into movements. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus in the world of LGBTQ+ Film & Television. Our campaigns are two-fold.

First, we focus on getting your title 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 the strong LGBTQ+ film and TV communities on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.

This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay Network, now spanning 35+ LGBTQ+ apps, publishers, creators, podcasts and connected-TV partners — an audience that doesn't just watch, it markets, through the edits, fan art, and watch-party energy that keep series alive. 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 LGBTQ+ Screen Coverage.

A comprehensive strategy that reaches LGBTQ+ film and TV audiences through paid advertising channels AND organic social amplification — simultaneously.

Part One
Hyper-Targeted Digital Advertising

We focus on getting your title 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 layer film & TV data selects — genre and platform affinities, streaming subscribers, festival-goers — onto LGBTQ+ websites, and geo-target down to the ZIP code for platform launches, theatrical markets, and festival cities.

For advanced placements, we utilize Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology — serving trailers and campaign films within LGBTQ+ households on all smart devices, including Connected TVs (CTV), precisely to the audience the title was made for.

Display Ads Mobile Ads Video Ads CTV ACR Technology
Part Two
LGBTQ+ Fandom Social Amplification

We tap into the online conversations and communities on your title's behalf — amplifying your trailers, clips, reviews and press within LGBTQ+ film and TV communities on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.

This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay social media network — now spanning 35+ LGBTQ+ apps, publishers, creators, podcasts and connected-TV partners, and growing — paired with queer film podcasts, critics, and creator partnerships for the trust transfer that turns a premiere into a movement.

From festival season and awards corridors to Pride and premiere windows, we help your title show up where the fandom already gathers — hosting the room, not interrupting it.

Fewer Stories, Bigger Audience: Inside the 2026 LGBTQ+ Film & TV Market
October 15, 2026 · Matt Skallerud

Just 23.6% of 2024’s major studio films included an LGBTQ+ character, down from a record 28.5% in 2022 — only two of 250 featured a transgender character, and 37% of LGBTQ+ characters were on screen for less than a minute (GLAAD). Television counted 489 LGBTQ+ characters on scripted series in 2024–25, but 41% of them won’t return. The audience is moving the other way: 9% of U.S. adults and 23% of adults under 30 now identify as LGBTQ+ (Gallup), and festivals remain the pipeline for new queer talent, with Outfest’s 2025 relaunch proving that infrastructure can be rebuilt. The takeaway: market the authenticity you have, make premieres community events, buy media where the audience is, and support the infrastructure behind the work.

Made, Released, Unseen: Why Great LGBTQ+ Films Have a Discovery Problem (and How to Fix It)
October 15, 2026 · Matt Skallerud

There’s more high-quality LGBTQ+ film on Amazon, Apple TV, Hulu, Roku and dedicated queer streamers than ever, and most of it goes unseen — not because of quality, but because of discovery. Mainstream releases get weeks of reels and paid social; LGBTQ+ films mostly wait for viewers to search, a gap that widened when Meta removed interest targeting like “same-sex marriage” and “LGBT culture” on January 19, 2022. Inside one catalog, Dekkoo’s Amazon channel carries 440 titles from about 110 suppliers, roughly 80 of them credited directly to independent filmmakers, and 91% of niche streaming subscriptions came through aggregators in Q2 2024 — 58% of those through Amazon Channels. The fix is a campaign built around how each film earns money, with one clear call to action: rent it, buy it or stream it here.

From Parade to Premiere: Google, Gilead and Delta Keep Showing Up for LGBTQ+ Culture in October
October 19, 2026 · ILoveGay.NET

Two weeks ago, Delta presented the Atlanta Pride Parade. This week, Delta is back as a sponsor of the OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, alongside Google, Gilead, CAN Community Health and Tito’s. These are signed sponsorship commitments, not rainbow posts, and they’re happening well outside June. We look at what the fall sponsorship trail tells brands planning their 2027 LGBTQ+ strategy, and which companies deserve a closer look.

Two years ago the Outfest story was an obituary in progress — programming halted, every staffer laid off, a legal fight with a former executive director, $750,000 needed to survive. Last week OutfestNEXT sold out a 183-seat theater four days running. But the most useful thing in Variety’s reporting isn’t the comeback; it’s what interim…
