Starting June 1, rainbows will be seen all over the Internet in celebration of Pride Month. This event not only celebrates the achievements of the LGBTQIA+ community, but also recognizes the struggles they still face. It commemorates the Stonewall uprising in 1969, which was a series of riots against police brutality led by trans women of color. Today, Pride Month focuses on the bravery and achievements of the community, as well as the inequalities they still face.
Brands are often eager to show their support by using rainbow colors, but this isn't enough; customers want to know that further action is being taken. They want to align with brands that share their core values and support political and social beliefs. To create a successful Pride and LGBTQIA+ marketing campaign, research needs to be conducted, stereotypes must be avoided, and support needs to be continuous.
Pride is an important celebration for the LGBT community, so if brands decide to use Pride marketing, they must ensure that it is done right. They must focus on LGBT people, their lives, and their experiences, and give them a platform to share. Brands must also commit to donating profits to LGBTQIA+ organizations and use the campaign to create a positive impact.
