Australia’s LGBTIQ+ Market
The community that was once forced underground or jailed because of their sexual orientation has now emerged as a major market to help with sales and revenue.

Australia’s “Pink Dollar” is worth $40 billion dollars annually and growing.

87% of our LGBTIQ+ survey respondents said they’d be more likely to give their business to a company that supported the LGBTIQ +commuity

70% of survey respondents said they would pay a premium to a company that was supportive of the LGBTIQ +community

The brands that truly engage with the LGBTIQ+ community authentically, and not through tokenism, have a greater chance of success.
