Pride Month is celebrated every June as a tribute to those who were involved in the Stonewall Riots and for the second year in a row UK media owner OPEN Media are supporting #PrideMonth with a combined digital out of home and social media campaign.
OPEN Media Operations Manager, Lauren Williams told us “At OPEN Media we believe it’s vital to use our wide platform to raise awareness and amplify the voices of those who still face adversity — especially after the past year. We are thrilled to celebrate those in the LGBTQ+ community living their most authentic lives to mark Pride Month 2021”.
‘Open and Proud’ is designed to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with a month of inspirational quotes and creative from a diverse range of people nationwide. It launches with Ellie Diamond and Cherry Valentine from Drag Race UK Season 2 and includes a wealth of representatives from the media industry, charity and public sector.
OPEN Media have once again collaborated with Agent and MSB Solicitors, with both businesses sponsoring the month long campaign as a show of solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community.
Agent CEO, Paul Corcoran said “While we aren’t able to celebrate Pride in person this year, we cannot let the occasion pass without marking it. It is campaigns like this giving a voice to our community, that have a meaningful impact on society and embody everything the Pride movement stands for. We should all be proud to be who we are, and to shout it from the rooftops. I hope this campaign empowers people to do just that, and to realise that their individuality is their superpower.”
