#ILoveGay Today meets up with Curtis Sparrer, co-founder of Bospar, a PR & marketing firm based out of San Francisco. We chat about our early days running in the same circles, with Curtis at PlanetOut and us with GayWired.com. Since then, Curtis has honed his PR and journalism talents and brought these skills together in launching Bospar in 2015, with SF Business Times naming Bospar the 8th largest Bay Area LGBT-owned business.
We also chat about Curtis' work in creating Club Courage in Cannes, an LGBTQ+ after hours space for our community to simply gather and network. Club Courage had a number of folks come and speak, including Rich Ferraro of GLAAD, as well as representatives from IAB, PRWeek, Ketchum and Adweek.
Bospar, the “politely pushy” PR and marketing firm that puts tech companies on the map, also announced the results of their Corporate Courage index, a worldwide ranking of consumer perception of brands’ support of the LGBTQIA+ community. Nike ranked first, followed by Adidas, Disney, Levi’s and Apple.
