Cinema Advertising Agency
The biggest screen, the darkest room, the most captive audience. Unmissable.
Why Cinema Advertising Works: The Science of Attention
Cinema is the only advertising channel where skipping is physically impossible. 120 million cinema visitors in Germany annually sit in a darkened room — phones away, screens off, full attention on your message. No other medium delivers this quality of attention.
Film Targeting: Context is Everything
The most powerful lever in cinema advertising is not the production budget — it is the context. The same spot shown before the right film achieves up to 10x the impact of a random placement.
"A cinema audience is the most valuable captive audience in advertising. Phones in pockets, lights off, full attention on a 20-metre screen — there is no equivalent in digital or outdoor."

Cinema ads are remembered 2x longer than TV spots because of the immersive environment. But the key is targeting the right movies: a luxury watch brand before a Bond film delivers 10x the impact of a random placement. Context is everything.

Film targeting means placing your cinema spot specifically before films whose audience matches your target group. A luxury car spot before a Bond film, a children's toy spot before an animated film. Film targeting increases advertising effectiveness by up to 10x compared to random placement.
Cinema spots come in 20-second (standard, lowest CPM), 30-second (optimal for brand communication, best balance of impact and cost) and 60-second (premium short film format) formats. For selected premieres, brand films of up to 3 minutes are possible. The 30-second format is the most popular.
Cinema delivers 0% skip rate (physically impossible), 75% ad recall rate (vs. ~30% for TV), 2x higher emotional impact and a distraction-free captive audience. TV delivers higher reach at lower CPM but far lower engagement. Cinema is ideal for brand-building with premium audiences — particularly for luxury, automotive, entertainment and lifestyle brands.
