Revry NewFronts Brings the Best in LGBTQ Programming for Audiences and Brands
Revry, the first global LGBTQ+ streaming service, announced today that it will be hosting its first-ever NewFronts event on May 3rd, 2023 at Convene in New York City. The historic event will showcase Revry’s original programming and upcoming content slate to potential advertisers and media buyers who want to reach LGBTQ+ consumers through meaningful and culturally relevant connections.
Revry has become the destination for LGBTQ+ content, offering a vast library of movies, series, and documentaries from around the world. With nearly five million monthly viewers, Revry has established itself as a go-to source for diverse and inclusive queer programming. Revry, the only LGBTQ-first media network, is led by a diverse founding team, is NGLCC certified and is an ANA Diversity Supplier.
Ahead of its NewFront presentation, Revry announced PrismRiot™ – the only multi-minority certified LGBTQ+ advertising network. With a reach spanning over 110 million US households across multiple CTV and mobile platforms, the PrismRiot ad network offers brands unparalleled access to the LGBTQ+ community, a highly engaged and influential demographic with significant purchasing power.
Revry’s NewFront presentation promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience featuring the company’s co-founders Alia J. Daniels, LaShawn McGhee, Damian Pelliccione and Christopher Rodriguez. The team will be joined by Mila Jam as the “Wizard of Yaaaaas,” a transgender singer, actress and LGBTQ activist. Mila has toured internationally with the Broadway musical RENT and has performed alongside James Brown, Mark Ronson, Laverne Cox and others.
“We’re honored to be the first LGBTQ+ media company to present at the NewFronts and showcase the incredible brand safe programming we have to offer,” said Pelliccione. “It took over 15 years for a company like ours to connect with advertisers who share our diverse values and want to reach this valuable audience.”
