Advertise on PrideHives — Reach the Global Queer Community
By PrideHives Editorial Team
PrideHives exists to serve the LGBTQIA+ community with dignity, creativity and safety. Now, for the first time, we’re opening ethical, community-centred advertising options for queer-owned businesses, inclusive brands, creators and events. If you want to reach an audience that truly cares about queer culture, authenticity and progressive values — this is the place to be.
Why PrideHives advertising is different
Mainstream platforms often force queer creators into a game of virality and compromise: content is flagged, campaigns restricted, and outreach becomes unpredictable. PrideHives flips that model. Our advertising is built around:
- Community alignment: your message appears in spaces where the audience already engages with queer content.
- Ethical placement: no ads next to hate, sensationalism or exploitative material.
- Meaningful engagement: impressions on PrideHives are more likely to translate into newsletter signups, ticket sales or long-term customers.
Who should advertise?
PrideHives advertising is designed for:
- Queer-owned businesses (shops, venues, restaurants)
- Independent creators and artists
- Inclusive brands that demonstrably support LGBTQIA+ rights
- Events, festivals, workshops and performances
- Nonprofits, community projects and service providers
If your offering uplifts, empowers or serves queer communities in a respectful and ethical way — you belong on PrideHives.
Ad formats & pricing philosophy
We offer flexible ad options so you can choose what suits your scale and goals:
- Community banners: visible placements inside groups and interest hubs.
- Sponsored posts: editorial-style posts promoted to targeted community segments.
- Featured creator spotlights: interviews or profiles that elevate queer founders and artists.
- Campaign packages: seasonal bundles for Pride Month, Trans Visibility Week, or festival promotion.
Pricing is tiered and deliberately accessible — from low-budget options for indie creators to full campaigns for growing businesses. We prioritise fairness over maximising revenue so the platform remains welcoming to small queer entrepreneurs.
Targeting — ethical, respectful, effective
Our targeting tools are designed to help you reach the right people without invasive profiling. Target by:
- Interest groups (art, nightlife, activism, wellness)
- Regional communities and local hubs
- Event attendees and ticket-buyers
- Opt-in audience segments (users who permit promotional messaging)
We do not sell sensitive personal data. Our approach balances precision with privacy and community trust.

We’re rolling out advertising on a short timeline. The program will be available very soon, with an introductory launch package for early adopters. If you want priority access, reserve your spot on the waitlist and we’ll contact you with pricing, creative specs and best-practice guidance.

To get the most from your campaigns, follow these community-centred principles:
- Authenticity: speak from your values. The community spots inauthentic messaging quickly.
- Representation: use real queer people in creative assets where possible.
- Value-first approach: offer discounts, educational resources or community benefits — not just sales pitches.
- Partnerships: collaborate with creators and local hubs for organic amplification and trust.
Measurement that matters

- Engagement (replies, bookmarks, shares)
