Meet Brooke Skinner, one of our presenters at the upcoming LGBT Marketing Conference in New York on April 24th, 2014. Brooke Skinner, SVP Brand Strategy Lead, Digitas, will be speaking on "Mobile is SO Gay: New Rules for LGBT Engagement". About the presentation: According to Google, 68% of gay men & 60% of lesbians own smartphones, 45% of LGBTs will research whether a company is “gay friendly” before making a purchase, & 50% have switched products after learning of a company’s negative attitudes toward the LGBT. Although the LGBT population is nearly 12MM in the U.S., little else was known about LGBT mobile device consumers. Until recently.
