Local Advertising

Advertising on the Cinema Screen makes great Commercial Sense

Cinema advertising provides great flexibility with targeted and localised low cost advertising options.  You simply define the locations and number of screens for your message, or can choose every film and every screen nationwide.

When it comes to creating your cinema advert, we can help with ad design and production of it. But if you have an existing TV advert, this can be easily used on the Cinema screen too.

There has never been a better time to advertise on cinema screens with audience figures continuing to boom despite the cost-of-living squeeze. Going to the cinema remains a firm favourite.

To get your advert on-screen, please contact: Karin Jeffrey – regionalsales@pearlanddean.ie

 

There were some interesting views about local businesses advertising at cinemas immediately after the Covid pandemic.  People said they felt more positive towards the products advertising in cinema as they looked ‘open for business’, that the products appeared more ‘proactive than their competitors’ and that they were generally ‘interested in finding out more about the brand advertising on-screen’.
