LGBTQ+ Media Companies: Content Creators or Content Distributors?

Learn More In order for media companies to survive in this decade, they need to modify their business model to realize that the "distribution" side of their business has become an ever evolving, ever growing pillar in their business landscape. Sometimes a story has over 100 different online locations where it is being spread. How content is distributed, both by the media companies' social media platforms and by online individuals and influencers sharing that content, is fast becoming the dominant part of a media company's content outreach mix.

 

Pride as a Tactic, Not Just a Strategy:
Targeting LGBTQ+ Audiences Year-Round

Learn More During this presentation, we will explore different ways destination organizations keep their communities and residents in front of LGBTQ+ travelers year-round. We'll walk through the basics including targeted LGBTQ+ advertising and monitoring conversations specific to your region, as well as discuss how to engage with relevant user-generated content, bringing your destination organization into these LGBTQ+ conversations. We'll also highlight some of the various niche groups within the LGBTQ+ travel community that can be reached, including the circuit party crowd, parents, sports fans and more.

 

Is It Time To Rethink Your PR Strategy?

Learn More It's this new marketing environment, especially as it pertains to social media, that we are focusing on. Press releases should now be split into two components: the press release itself, and the press release posted on the PR company's website in the form of an article. This article must have links, photos, and videos embedded into this article so that it captures the attention of the reader. To further guarantee that LGBTQ+ media pick up the story, there should be additional links to high-resolution photos, as well direct links to videos that can easily be embedded on other sites.

Facebook Ads: Tactics & Strategy

Learn More Our team doesn't just "boost a post" to your Facebook page's followers... we take it several steps further and create an audience that is specific to your target LGBTQ+ demographic. The example shown here is targeting LGBTQ+ travelers who live in New York and have shown an interest in travel to Spain. Including other platforms such as mobile apps, banner ads and video, we can drill down even further, reaching specifically adventure travelers, cruise travelers, first class airline travelers, etc.

 

Niche Market Targeting Spotlight: BEARS

One of the strongest is the BEAR community. Not only do we have a strong online presence with our #ILoveGay network on Twitter... we also work closely with some of the strongest LGBTQ+ media focusing specifically on the BEAR community.

See you in Atlanta for the IGLTA Convention

Learn More I don't know about you, but next week's IGLTA Convention in Atlanta has more meaning than usual... for most of us, it's our first real convention/conference in the "real world" that we'll be attending since COVID struck in March 2020. Talking to other attendees, the build up of anticipation and excitement seems to be already taking hold for those who have made the choice to mask up, get our vaccines and head on down for an event that will be bringing one of the most dynamic sectors of the LGBTQ+ business marketplace together, TRAVEL!

Tip of the Day: Post Your Press Release On Your Site or Blog

Tag #ILoveGay on Twitter... we'll help spread the word as well.

Are you practicing "Socialist Media"?

Learn More Are you a "Social Capitalist" or a "Social Socialist"? When you post, are you only asking, "what's in it for me?" or are you asking, "what's in it for us?" By "us" we mean your social media followers, your audience and client base, the LGBTQ+ community, and everyone who's paying attention to - and engaged with - YOU online.

Launching a Film/TV Series on Social Media in 2021

Learn More We found this case study on how Twitter helped launch "Love, Victor" on Hulu a perfect analysis of some of the strategy we've been using here at Pink Media over the past few years. Focusing on the pre-release of the series/film with a well-made, sneak peak trailer starts a campaign that can be carried forward for months with additional series/film content, watch parties, cast interviews and additional advertising using Twitter's video website cards. We then translate that success into other social media platforms as well, including Facebook and Instagram... tapping into our team's strengths here at Pink Media and the #ILoveGay Network!
