Make your brand unforgettable with Cinema Advertising
Deliver immersive storytelling to engaged audiences before the movie starts – turning attention into real impact.
Full-Screen Impact with 100% Attention
Cinema advertising offers a unique opportunity for brands to engage with a fully focused audience in a premium environment. Shown on the big screen before trailers and films begin, cinema ads deliver your brand message in full without the distractions of phones, streaming services, or ad blockers. This immersive experience captures attention at a moment when moviegoers are most receptive, helping advertisers create emotional impact and leave a lasting impression.
Unlike TV ads or digital placements, cinema advertisements command attention from a captive audience who are present, settled, and ready to engage. This level of visibility makes it an ideal medium for storytelling, product launches, or tactical offers that benefit from full-screen cinematic treatment.
Scalable Campaigns – National or Local
Cinema advertising in Australia gives businesses the flexibility to scale their campaigns based on specific marketing objectives. Whether you’re a national brand seeking broad coverage or a local business looking to attract nearby customers, cinema ads can be tailored to your needs. With the ability to target specific cinemas, geo-locations, and even follow film programming aligned with your target audience, your message can be highly personalised and effective.
For example, brands can align their ads with specific blockbuster movies or dominate available movie sessions in high-traffic cinemas through roadblock buys. This strategic targeting helps reach audiences with high propensity to act, either by visiting stores or engaging online. Cinema advertising also integrates well with other media, helping create a cohesive, multi-channel marketing strategy.
How Cinema Ads Work
Cinema ads play before trailers and the main feature, ensuring maximum visibility and 100% viewability. Advertisers can choose from a range of advertising formats and screen packages, including one-off ad plays, week-long domination campaigns, or even custom video ads tailored to a specific target demographic.
Through partnerships with major cinema chains across Australia, advertisers can access both national coverage and hyper-local cinema screens. This allows for smart media planning, from big brand campaigns to targeted promotions for local businesses. With flexible buying options and the ability to change creatives mid-campaign, you can adapt quickly to market shifts while still hitting your key metrics.
Our team has helped hundreds of businesses craft and deliver cinema campaigns that cut through the noise and reach audiences in a way few other mediums can. Whether you’re looking to advertise your own ad before a specific movie or build brand equity over time, cinema offers a high-impact, results-driven channel for serious advertisers.
Why Cinema Advertising Works
Cinema advertising stands out by combining audience focus, screen dominance, and contextual relevance in a way that other media channels can’t replicate. Rather than competing with noise on social media or being skipped like YouTube ads, cinema ads are experienced on the big screen in a controlled environment ensuring every ad play lands with full attention.
This medium of video advertising allows brands to speak directly to a movie audience that’s chosen to be present. Whether you’re advertising during family films, action blockbusters, or niche releases, you can align your messaging with specific movies or target demographics based on location, cinema chain, and session time. The result is a tailored campaign that speaks to the right viewers at the right moment.
Cinema advertisements also allow for strategic flexibility. From short-form video ads to extended brand storytelling, there are multiple advertising formats available to suit your message and budget. Campaigns can be structured to support week-long domination across selected venues, targeted bursts around new releases, or continuous exposure across national coverage.
Most importantly, cinema advertising delivers key metrics that matter to business owners—visibility, engagement, and brand recall. When placed well, it becomes more than just an ad; it’s a high-impact brand experience that drives awareness and real-world outcomes for both national companies and local businesses.
Our agency works closely with advertisers across Australia to ensure each campaign is data-driven, well-placed, and optimised for the cinema screens your audience trusts.
