WHY ADVERTISE
DIRECTLY
TO LGBT
CONSUMERS IN
DIGITAL MEDIA?
Gay consumers are early adopters, with heavy Internet and mobile media consumption. In fact,
74% of LGBT consumers in the US visited LGBT websites in the past week. LGBT website usage
grew 28% year-over-year, while local gay newspapers and nation gay magazine readership
continues to decline.* Advertisers are allocating marketing budgets to specifically target LGBT
audiences through digital media. As the gay market leader, Gay Ad Network has become the
preferred gay media partner for leading brands and agencies.

LGBT AUDIENCE TARGETING
REACH
THE LGBT
AUDIENCE
EVERYWHERE
Successful LGBT marketing campaigns target the right audience segment, in the right media,
at the right time. The LGBT audience is fragmented across mainstream websites, social
networking websites, gay websites and mobile apps, so cross-media audience aggregation
is required to build scalable campaigns. Gay Ad Network aggregates the LGBT audience. Our powerful database marketing
platform makes it easy for advertisers to reach their intended target – across popular gay
websites and mobile apps, as well as YouTube, Facebook, and other major media outlets.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
What our clients are saying about Gay Ad Network!
AT&T is working with Gay Ad Network to continue our heritage of support and outreach

sponsorships," said Ashley Sheets, Associate Director of Media - National Consumer

instrumental in helping us achieve our goals within the LGBT community.”
"Online video advertising through Gay Ad Network was an integral part of the OraQuick

Management, Ionic Media. "Combining video advertising with display, mobile and social
media is proving to be a very efficient way for us to reach our target market.”

record for Lexus. "We measured a positive brand attitude lift of 10.6% for the Lexus GS

INDUSTRY LEADER
What thought leaders are saying about Gay Ad Network!
Once concentrated on a few gay portals, this audience is now
fragmented across mainstream social networking sites and a
large number of smaller gay information, news, community
and niche social networking sites designed for the various
segments of the gay market. Gay Ad Network aggregates
these fragmented communities under one umbrella, providing
online media planners an easy, efficient way to reach a large
segment of the gay and lesbian market.
Gay Ad Network is, in itself, a smart move, playing on
marketers' interest in targeted networks that allow them to
place advertisements more thoughtfully.
All the display operators want in on video, and vertical ad
networks are no exception — Gay Ad Network has rolled out
online video advertising network and syndication platform
Gaycast. Targeted at gay and lesbian consumers, Gaycast’s
launch partners include American Airlines, Mandalay Bay and
the Florida Keys Tourism Council.
