2024 Media Kit
My name is Joey Amato and I am a seasoned journalist with over a decade of publishing and publicity experience in the LGBTQ space. My current endeavor, Pride Journeys, is a syndicated column targeting LGBTQ consumers and travelers. Each month, I publish a travel review and syndicate it to LGBTQ media across North America. Since beginning syndication in 2017, I have grown to partner with other LGBTQ publications with a total combined reach of over 750,000 people. My mission is to encourage people to travel outside of their comfort zone.
Whereas social media sponsorship may yield rapid exposure, Pride Journeys articles live on the Internet forever, and readership of a specific article could very well increase over time.
