On-Screen Posters and On-Screen Digital adverts are a great opportunity for local advertisers to put their brand or service on the big screen without having to shoot a commercial onto film.

They are available in over 100 cinema sites nationwide covering over 1000 screens.
On-Screen Posters

On-Screen Posters are available at Cineworld, AMC, selected ODEON, Empire and Independent cinemas.

Projected via a 35mm slide carousel, On-Screen Posters combine the impact of a poster site with the benefits of a captive and expectant audience.

Each advert is shown at least once prior to the advertising reel before every film and is on screen for 15 seconds, interspersed with trivia and cinema information.

With a maximum of 9 local advertisers on screen at any time, it is the perfect way to avoid the clutter of many local advertising environments.
On-Screen Digital advertising utilises cutting-edge technology to introduce movement to the On-Screen Poster format making adverts more exciting and dynamic. Powerful projection makes them more vibrant, increasing audience interest.

On-Screen Digital advertising is currently available at 14 sites in the UK.
