The challenge

Why it mattered

A regional film had a short window to build buzz before release and keep screens full in the opening week, competing with bigger-budget titles for attention.

Our solution

What we built

We built a phased plan: teasers on social and OTT to build awareness, ticketing-app and food-delivery placements closer to release, and performance campaigns during release week, with budgets shifted daily based on what was driving bookings.

Key outcome“Kept the film visible exactly when audiences were deciding what to watch, with spend moving to the platforms that were actually selling tickets.”
