About Michael Kelley

On June 9th, 2022, our company, Equal Entertainment acquired the assets of Pride Media including Out.com/Magazine, Advocate.com/Magazine, OutTraveler.com/Magazine, Pride.com and HIVPlus.com. We changed our name to match our mission and purpose, Equal Pride Together, we are the leading LGBTQ-owned and operated media, digital, experience and data company across all platforms. In addition, to being one of the majority LGBTQ identifying partners, I serve as Equal Pride's company Board Chair and President of Global Growth and Development. Prior to creating Equal Pride, I co-owned and operated Equal Entertainment since 2010 and produced a number of TV series and documentaries including Celebrity Page (going into it's 10th season), documentaries for TV on the lives of Prince, Joan Rivers, Robin Williams, Mary Tyler Moore and more. Prior to Equal, I was a Partner for 10 years part of a more than two decade career with PwC. As partner, I worked on projects involving new generation advertising created by new technologies from smart phones to QR codes including architecting and creating AT & T's first advertising offerings and business, overseeing the project management of the first generation build of Hulu and three-year annual planning with NBCUniversal, among many other innovative projects. I also served as PwC's first chief of marketing and branding with a repositioning of the company of globally following the failure of Anderson/Enron and erosion of trust of the entire accounting and consulting profession. In 2014, I released one of the very first books on mobile marketing called "All Thumbs." Published by MacMillan and part of the Ad Age Book series, All Thumbs became the Amazon Business Books of the Month and Year. I am happily partnered with my life and business partner, Mark and we feel so blessed to both pursue our purpose and business together. We contribute time and resources to many causes that impact the LGBTQ community and humanity including United Church of Christ Fort Lauderdale, leadership on National Gun Safety Alliance, NGLCC, past executive board member of Provincetown Business Guild, Founding Board Member and Chair of the Provincetown LGBTQ Center and volunteer cook for AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, among many other initiatives.
