Health is where LGBTQ+ marketing was invented — and no vertical carries more history, science, or responsibility. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into LGBTQ+ patients and at-risk communities. A focused, two-fold approach built for public health, pharma, clinics, and telehealth.
The Opportunity
There are a variety of ways in which we can market to LGBTQ+ health audiences — from HIV prevention and PrEP to sexual health and testing, mental health, trans care, and the community clinics and telehealth platforms serving them all. 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+ Health & HIV/PrEP. 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 — including one-stop programmatic reach across all the top gay dating apps (Grindr, Sniffies, Scruff, Hornet, Jack'd and more), the highest-response inventory in LGBTQ+ digital. Second, we get your message out via strategically-placed social media posts, tapping the strong LGBTQ+ health communities and the long-standing #PrEP and #HIV conversations on social.
This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay Network, now reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers. All health work is stigma-free, evidence-true, and U=U-literate — and our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement, always routing to a real service.
Our Campaign Framework
A comprehensive strategy that reaches LGBTQ+ patients and at-risk communities through paid advertising channels AND organic social amplification — simultaneously, and always finishing the journey to a real service.
We deliver your message via one-stop programmatic reach across the top gay dating apps — geo-targeted, full-screen placements with CTRs near 5%, the highest-response inventory for testing, PrEP, and clinic campaigns, targetable down to the ZIP codes you serve.
On the programmatic exchange we layer health data selects onto LGBTQ+ inventory (display, video, CTV with ACR), and reach HIV+ audiences respectfully via contextual and interest-based data selects — never via health-status identification.
Every impression routes to an action that works — a telehealth start, a clinic finder, an assistance program: navigation is the conversion step.
We tap into the online conversations and communities on your organization's behalf — amplifying your health content, clinician voices, and service information within LGBTQ+ health communities on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.
This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay social media network, plus the long-standing, high-trust #PrEP and #HIV hashtag communities where prevention resources, advocates, and HIV+ communities already gather.
From awareness days to year-round clinic demand, we help you show up with dignity and modern science — sex-positive, shame-free, and medically bulletproof.

The Data Behind LGBTQ+ Health
A snapshot from CMI's LGBTQ Community Surveys — including the Black LGBTQ Community Survey — the datasets behind the LGBTQ+ Health Market Guide.
An estimated 1.2 million Americans could benefit from PrEP; only about a third are on it — with need concentrated among Black and Latino MSM and in the South.
67% of new HIV infections occur among gay, bisexual and other MSM (CDC) — reachable at unmatched precision via the gay dating apps as health channels.
Full-screen gay-app placements deliver CTRs near 5% — the highest-response inventory in LGBTQ+ digital for testing, PrEP, and clinic campaigns.
