Cinema / Movie and Theater Advertising

Movie theater media reaches up to 75 million moviegoers each month, and its advertising recalls are four times higher than ads placed on television. Movie theater advertising reaches targeted consumers with innovative messages that engage moviegoers in a highly effective manner. We will help you choose the right cinema product that’s best for your ad campaign whether it’s Static Slides, Digital Ads or Rollingstock. Effective movie theater advertising can also include one-to-one promotions, partnering with events or sponsorships and can be conducted at the venues themselves, with marketing teams promoting a variety of products to consumers as they are waiting in line or approaching the theater.

Advantages

The Advantages of Cinema Advertising

  • Movie Theater Advertising delivers your message to a captive audience.
  • Movie Theater on-screen and lobby ads can use full sight, sound and motion to increase ad recall.
  • Frequent repetition of the message insures that moviegoers see and remember your ad, building brand awareness.
  • Advertiser’s company image is often boosted by the association with the movies on the big screen in full color.
  • Because movie theaters are located near or in suburban shopping malls and other high-profile retail areas, ads are positioned close to point-of-purchase.
  • Campaigns can be targeted by a demographic profile based on the geographic location of the movie theater.
