There’s no denying that both brands and charitable organizations are coming together to bring Pride celebrations and awareness events to the virtual space.Īnd with a host of new social media features - like Instagram Live Donations, Facebook and Instagram Messenger Rooms, and the worldwide rollout of the Instagram Stories Donate sticker - and a whole new platform, TikTok, to take advantage of, there are even more ways to make your celebrations virtual.

Speaking to Elle, CEO, and founder of gender-neutral clothing label The Phluid Project, Rob Smith explains that “celebrating virtually affords us the opportunity to use digital and social media to be intentional about visibility and representation across our entire community.” Not only does this cut the cost of a Pride activation campaign, but more importantly it makes it accessible to everyone - which is exactly how Pride should be. But that opens up creative opportunities to bring fundraising and awareness drives to social media. Now, with COVID-19 and social distancing still in place for many, IRL events like the iconic Pride Parade may be placed on hold this year. In 2019, over 5 million people came together in New York City to celebrate World Pride, while also commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. With social distancing in place to combat the spread of COVID-19, Pride 2021 is set to be reinvented in the virtual space.Īnd brands, businesses, charities, and organizations are rising to the challenge with plenty of innovative movements to bring Pride communities together, despite being apart. 11.Pride Goes Virtual for 2021: How Brands Are Navigating COVID-19 for Pride It’s priced at £8.95 and you can get it from Etsy here.
