About GayNZ.com
Founded in 1997, GayNZ.com puts journalistic integrity and the gay community at the centre of
everything we do. News, feature articles, reviews, national event information,
scene pics and our online and printed Scene Guide are all published to a high standard of
accuracy and neutrality.
GayNZ.com's website and award-winning Facebook presence are kept up to date on a daily basis, with an average of five news and feature articles published by our experienced journalists each day. Our users and volunteers regularly contribute blog posts, scene pics, classifieds and nationwide information on community events, venues and organisations. This keeps our readership, and your audience, returning to GayNZ.com on a daily, sometimes even hourly, basis.
The GayNZ.com free Gay Guide is printed and distributed nationwide on a quarterly basis. Targeted as a source of information to those new in town, taking a trip out of town, or those new to our communities in general, the Gay Guide is often the first port of call for finding a gay community venue, organisation or business.
Why advertise with GayNZ.com?
GayNZ.com represents a market of highly engaged, community orientated consumers.
Typical users of GayNZ.com can be:
- A gay guy and his partner, who often holiday to gay friendly destinations
- Community members that meet for coffee at the local lesbian-owned and run cafe
- A young queer student, who often shops and connects online
- Someone new to town, looking for ways and places to meet people

Research shows our market to be tech-savvy, early adopters, with over 50% purchasing an entertainment or travel product on their mobile in the last year. We have high levels of disposable income with 41% of us owning a dog, and 28% have made a conscious decision to support a business or brand as the result of their pro-LGBT policies or practices.

LGBT targeted websites are also the best way to target this market, with LGBT audiences more likely
to have visited a LGBT website or blog in the last 7 days than any other format of LGBT media
(including print publications, streaming video, mobile app or TV programming), or equivalent formats
of mainstream media. (*Source: CMI's 8th Annual LGBT Community Survey, September 2014)
GayNZ.com readership represents a much more highly engaged readership when compared to that of
our main opposition, Gay Express. In a recent analysis of reader interaction with Facebook, a key tool
in reaching audiences and directing them to view articles, posts covering the same news item on
GayNZ.com's active Facebook page (
https://www.facebook.com/gaynz) received consistently higher interaction than that of Gay Express:
