OUTloud

OUTloud is a digital marketing agency based in London that specialises in helping brands reach LGBTQ+ audiences. It works with organisations seeking to engage gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans consumers authentically, positioning itself against "pride washing" or superficial rainbow branding during campaigns such as Pride. Its case studies include work with the L'Oreal-owned brand NYX Professional Makeup, described as creating an authentic Pride campaign. The agency operates with a small team of 1-10 people and frames its work around research on LGBTQ+ consumer behaviour, including loyalty to queer-friendly brands and the spending power of this demographic in the UK and US markets. The agency's declared services cover organic search (SEO), social media marketing and pay-per-click advertising, alongside additional solutions listed on its site: paid search, influencer marketing, programmatic advertising and mobile app marketing. A distinguishing feature is the OUT network, described as a global LGBT+ audience network and first-party data marketing solution, used to help brands target this demographic across channels. OUTloud also maintains a database of LGBTQ+ influencers, said to cover various intersectionalities within the community and to be vetted for content quality and effectiveness, allowing brands to identify influencers for campaign partnerships. The agency states its work is oriented toward measurable outcomes such as sales, leads, clicks and site visitors, combining this results focus with campaign creative intended to reflect LGBTQ+ audiences without resorting to generic or exclusionary marketing approaches.
