Client Spotlight: Atlanta Pride

 


About the Client

Atlanta Pride is a significant annual LGBTQ+ pride festival held in Atlanta, Georgia, serving as a celebration of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community. It promotes visibility, unity, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, and works to enhance mental and physical health, provide social support, and foster awareness of the contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals.

The Challenge

Atlanta Pride is one of the largest and most celebrated LGBTQ+ events in the Southeast, attracting hundreds of thousands of attendees each year. The Atlanta Pride Committee needed a trusted partner to provide high-quality promotional merchandise and apparel that would not only outfit their dedicated volunteers and staff but also serve as the official event merchandise provider for festival-goers. Ensuring seamless coordination across multiple departments while maintaining brand consistency and timely delivery was critical to the event's success.

The Solution

PridePromo by Queerencia stepped in as the official merchandise partner for Atlanta Pride in 2022, bringing our expertise in promotional products and event branding to the table. Our comprehensive approach included:

  • Volunteer Apparel: We provided custom t-shirts for over 600 volunteers, ensuring they were easily identifiable, comfortable, and representative of the event’s vibrant spirit.
  • Official Event Merchandise: PridePromo by Queerencia was honored to supply and sell the official Atlanta Pride 2022, 2023 & 2024 apparel, with proceeds directly benefiting the Atlanta Pride Committee and its ongoing initiatives.
  • Seamless Execution: Our team worked closely with multiple departments, maintaining clear communication and flexibility to ensure that every logistical challenge was met with a tailored solution.

The Impact

PridePromo’s partnership with Atlanta Pride made a measurable difference in several ways:
