Outvertising Consumer Report

What drives LGBTQIA+ attitudes, preferences, and expectations when it comes to brands? 

The Outvertising Consumer Report, in partnership with YouGov, is a new national census of the LGBTQIA+ community that deep dives into the attitudes and intentions of LGBTQIA+ people in their relationships with brands and advertising. It aims to inform how brand leaders across a number of sectors can communicate authentically to positively affect brand affinity, reputation, and sales amongst this audience.

In report, you will find insights such as: 

  • Brand Champions: For brands that get voice, authenticity, values, and message right, LGBTQIA+ people are ready to be your champions. 

  • Representation: The LGBTQIA+ community favours brands that prioritise ‘real representation’ and understand the impact advertising plays in forging negative views towards ourselves as individuals 

  • Sector Snapshots: A deep-dive into a number category-specific attitudes, providing insight for marketers looking across sectors. 

We trust it will become an important part of every brand and agency leader’s inclusive marketing toolkit.
