The most-watched vertical in the marketplace — and the most engaged fandoms on earth. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into LGBTQ+ film and TV audiences. A focused, two-fold approach built for studios, streamers, festivals, and entertainment brands.
The Opportunity
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 reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers — 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
A comprehensive strategy that reaches LGBTQ+ film and TV audiences through paid advertising channels AND organic social amplification — simultaneously.
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.
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 reaching over 1.5 million followers 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.
