As Pride Month comes to a close, now is the perfect time to review all the great Pride content from this month across all social channels, all in one place. Content Search allows you to browse keywords (ex: parade), phrases (ex: “pride parade”) and hashtags (ex: #pride2021) from multiple different social platforms at the same time, giving you a top-level view of the discussion and conversation leaders. Not sure where to start? Try searching for hashtags like #pride, #equality, #acceptance, #loveislove, #bornperfect, and even #🏳️‍🌈. For more tips on using Content Search to catch up on the conversation, take a look at this Help Center article.

The Importance of Inclusivity Within the Influencer Industry Beyond Pride Month (Talking Influence)

More brands than ever celebrated Pride this month, with many doing so for the first time. Each year, the marketing industry becomes more inclusive, as brands seek out opportunities to work with LGBTQIA+ influencers. Many consumers are eager for this change, as 61% agree that diversity is important, and 38% say that they’re more likely to trust companies with diverse images in advertising. Showing a true commitment to inclusion begins at the end of the month, when many brands tuck their rainbows away until next year. Go beyond June and celebrate Pride year-round by uplifting influencers from the LGBTQIA+ community, and making the influencer marketing industry more inclusive every day.
