Why Splashd
Where your audienceis most present.
Other platforms reach LGBTQ+ users incidentally. Splashd is their primary social layer — for bars, venues, travel, and cruising. That context is rare inventory.
Brand-safe by design
24/7 human + AI moderation. Every profile verified before going live.
Real-world context
Venue check-ins at bars, clubs, gyms, and events. Not doomscrolling — presence.
Verified & engaged
Profiles are ID-checked. Users are active — median session 18+ min.
Global travel mode
Free travel mode means users browse cities worldwide. Reach them in your market.
Ad Formats

Five placement types designed around how Splashd users actually move through the app. All formats are contextual — no interruption banners, no pop-ups.
