Our Mission

The mission of pridefest is to advance unity, visibility, self-esteem, support, and wellness among adolescents who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer and to promote a positive image throughout the Upstate through community activities and events.

We celebrate diversity and culture awareness intentionally within our brand identity and marketing (.)

Our brand is visible on most main stream social media platforms. We invite you to join us by liking/following us @pridefestcollab

Voice and Tone

The way we speak to our audience is as much a part of our brand as our human mission. The way we write tells people what to expect from us. Being intentional about our voice and tone helps us put our best, most authentic foot forward at all times and creates a consistently inclusive experience everywhere we show up.

Our voice is inspiring, relatable, confident, and supportive

We empower people to transform their inner selves and lives. They are taking charge of their destiny, and our platform represents endless possibilities. We want them to feel ready to take on the world and supported in their adventure. “Be you!”

Our tone is conversational – we’re not cold and bland. We consider who we’re writing for, where content is posted, and what the ultimate goal or message is. We speak in terms that our audiences understand and can scale up or down in excitement.

We’re proud of our event without being arrogant. While Pridefest has personality and a sense of humor, we try to relate casually, but with intent.

• Active voice — “Jay loved our event” vs “The event was loved by Jay.”
• Plain English — No slang, jargon, or chat-speak (LOL, IDK, etc.).
• Positive phrasing — “Remember your goals.” vs “Don’t forget your goals.”
• Respectful Language — Never use derogatory, divisive, nor discriminatory language that may be offensive to any group or individual at any time.
