This past Tuesday, we were over the moon to win a PRNEWS Platinum Award as the AOR for Kenvue’s CARE WITH PRIDE initiative, an incredible honor and true testament to the passion, dedication, and heart of everyone involved. In that vein, first and foremost we have to express our deep gratitude to the Kenvue team - in particular Laura Sloane and Madison Meyer - for their unwavering support and belief in this work. Your commitment to championing equality and inclusivity through such iconic brands has made this journey possible. This award holds special meaning for us at Target 10. For over 15 years, we have been proud to bring our expertise as one of the first LGBTQ+ specialized agencies in the country to the CARE WITH PRIDE initiative. This focus has made all the difference by allowing us to understand the unique needs, challenges, and aspirations of this community, ensuring that the work is not just seen — but truly felt. From the beginning, we have strived to make CARE WITH PRIDE more than just an initiative—it’s always been about creating genuine, ongoing connections that resonate deeply with the LGBTQ+ community and the many subcommunities we engage and highlight therein, reflecting all our stories in ways that are respectful, authentic, and far from performative. This has enabled us to build trust within the community and deliver programs that uplift the voices of those who too often go unheard, and ensures that every activation, every piece of content, and every partnership is anchored in a deep understanding of what matters most to LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies. To our team at Target 10 — Matt Tumminello, Bob Friedman, Matt Wagner, Justin Weinzierl, Kylie Rubin and Amanda Elcock — this recognition belongs to each of you. It celebrates the late nights, the creative risks, and the commitment to ensuring that our work remains best-in-class for both client AND community by centering brand authenticity and advocacy. And big props to and appreciation for the participants of the featured content: Jaymes Black, Katie Hultquist, George Wallace, Abdullah Hall, Elle Deran, Gabrielle Inès Souza and Kathryn Davis, and the Jubilee Media team especially Krizia Medenilla, Zachary Rosales and director Omer Ben Shachar for their creativity and stewardship. Thank you once again to PRNEWS for this honor, and here's to continuing the work that makes a real difference; together, we’re building a future where everyone is not only represented, but given a real seat at the table to continue the momentum of positive change.

As Quinta Brunson so famously said: “people be gay” 🏳️🌈 DEI rolling back or not, the numbers are the numbers, and they do not lie. The evolving demographics of the country are falling into groups that were previously known as minorities — and are on track to be the majority. So, if you still think talking to the queer community is only necessary in June, I’ll be first in line at your brand’s funeral saying I told you so… 🤷🏾♂️

Target 10 reposted this
Brands that truly want to resonate with LGBTQ+ consumers in 2025 and beyond need to move past surface-level support and representation to show up and show out year-round. In this Forbes article, several leaders in queer marketing including Robyn Streisand, Kate Wolff 🏳️🌈 🐺, Todd Murray and I discussed the evolution of LGBTQ+ marketing and why it’s critical to embrace authentic engagement—above and beyond Pride month. Queer and allied consumers across age and background are hyper-aware of performative support, so to build real loyalty, brands must integrate LGBTQ+ voices into every stage of creative development. It’s about being inclusive in both words and actions—whether in representation, product offerings, or social responsibility initiatives. We talked about how brands can get it right by fostering meaningful partnerships, ensuring diverse representation, and speaking out on issues that affect our communities, all year long. Special thanks to Michelle Greenwald for spotlighting this important conversation and shedding light on how brands can do better in 2025, and Graham Nolan🏳️🌈 for always being such a terrific connector — and builder — of community.

Trojan returned as Bushwig’s only brand sponsor this year, supporting the queer community with a thoughtful, consumer-driven approach. Collaborating with gay New York photographer Danny Bristoll, Trojan offered free, high-quality portraits of attendees’ stunning looks, alongside providing condom samples and branded swag. The shared photos amplified Trojan’s presence far beyond the event, underscoring its commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusivity, both at Bushwig and through ongoing strategic partnerships with nonprofit organizations like Callen-Lorde and events like DragCon LA.

Were you at Bushwig this past weekend? If so, you probably noticed Trojan returning as the only brand sponsor for the second year in a row. But instead of taking the spotlight with anything too flashy, we took a more thoughtful, community-driven approach - with actual flashes! This year, we provided a queer professional photographer, the incredible Danny Bristoll, to capture attendees’ jaw-dropping looks and offered them free, high-quality photos in a branded gallery, along with condom samples and useful branded swag like lip balms and mints. And the photos weren’t just fun mementos—by sharing their photos across social media, attendees helped amplify Trojan’s presence far beyond the event itself. For those unfamiliar, Bushwig isn’t just any festival—it’s a safe haven for queer expression, offering space for performers and attendees alike to live their truth, particularly those who might not fit into traditional norms. With its roots in Brooklyn, Bushwig has grown into a global phenomenon, spotlighting queer art in cities like Berlin, London, and Los Angeles, all while keeping its focus on creating inclusive spaces for everyone. Our goal was to create a custom experience that added real value, blending seamlessly into Bushwig and celebrating the diversity and creativity that make this festival a vital part of queer culture. It’s not just about showing up—it’s about showing up authentically and contributing to the community we support. Trojan’s partnership with Bushwig is just one piece of our broader commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. We’re proud to work with Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, a leader in LGBTQ+ healthcare, to provide critical services for the community year-round. This partnership began when Trojan made a donation in honor of Bushwig co-founder Simone Babes Trust, and it continues to thrive today. In addition to Bushwig and Callen-Lorde, Trojan has supported events like World of Wonder's DragCon LA and Provincetown Business Guild, and partnered with influencers like Bruno Alcantara, Yai Ariza and Jackie Cox to amplify the brand's message of inclusivity and sexual empowerment. Special thanks to Alex Hughes and So.Gay for their incredible coverage of this year’s event and Trojan's year-round activity at https://lnkd.in/e5a_iJXi; this emerging queer media platform is making waves, and we’re thrilled to have their support in helping to share how Trojan continues to show up for the LGBTQ+ community year-round.

I'm pumped to share that Target 10 has been named a finalist for our development and activation of Kenvue's CARE WITH PRIDE® initiative in the LGBTQIA+ Centered Campaign category at the 2024 PRNEWS Platinum Awards! 🌟 This recognition is a testament to the intentionality of a partnership dedicated to uplifting and advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community. A massive thank you to our incredible clients Madison Meyer & Laura Sloane, our internal team and many incomparable partners for real dedication and hard work. Here’s a glimpse under the hood at the passion and creativity that made this campaign truly special: Objective: The CARE WITH PRIDE® initiative, powered by iconic Kenvue brands such as Neutrogena, Tylenol, and Listerine, champions equality, inclusivity, care, and representation for the LGBTQIA+ community. Our primary goal is to elevate diverse voices and media representing LGBTQIA+ communities, expressing unwavering support year-round.

We aimed to elevate LGBTQIA+ voices, showcase brand and employee support through collaborations with retailer partners, and support strategic non-profit partners who advance LGBTQIA+ rights and well-being globally. Execution: A critical aspect of our initiative was a media partnership with Gen Z-oriented platform Jubilee Media, directed by Omer Ben Shachar and led by Krizia Medenilla and Zachary Rosales. Leveraging the influence of LGBTQIA+ community leaders Jaymes Black, Abdullah Hall, Beatrice Simpkins, Gabrielle Inès Souza, Katie Hultquist, George Wallace and Elle Deran we focused on fostering individualized storytelling and authentic representation. This collaboration included a Spectrum episode featuring these KOLs to create meaningful connections and enhance intersectional visibility. Results: We surpassed our goals with significant metrics, including 5.3M impressions, vastly exceeding our goal of 3M, 480K views, exceeding our goal of 350K, and 20K total engagements, exceeding our goal of 15K. We’re honored to stand alongside other fantastic finalists: Bospar’s Don't Get It Twisted: How Dee Snider KISSed Off SF Pride: A bold campaign that navigated complex cultural conversations with finesse. Living Out’s The First-Of-Its-Kind LGBTQ+ Active Senior Living Community: Pioneering new ground in creating inclusive and supportive environments for LGBTQ+ seniors. Being recognized in this category means so much to us. It’s a reminder of the importance of our work and the impact we strive to make every day. We’re not just celebrating a nomination; we’re celebrating the progress and visibility of our community. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our journey towards a win in October.
