Trans Day of Visibility – How the Influencer Marketing Industry is Becoming More Representative (Talking Influence)

Last week, many brands celebrated Trans Day of Visibility with messages of affirmation to uplift the trans community. The marketing industry continues to progress each day, and another indication of progress is a decrease in gendered messages in advertising. For example, Gilette and Revolution Beauty make active efforts to broaden the scope of their target audiences to include more people than just men or women. Marketing a product along the gender binary excludes not just half of the potential audience, but the entire community of trans and nonbinary people who might not identify with gendered messages at all. Reducing gendered marketing isn’t just a sign of progress—it’s a smart strategy for success.
