National Advertising

Rich opportunities for promotion and integration.

Spotlight offers a wide range of distinctive media and marketing opportunities for national brands seeking to pinpoint cultured, upscale adults.

Trailer Pod: The best positioning in all of cinema.

Our onscreen Trailer Pod runs at published start times, and is ideally positioned right before the start of the movie trailers when theatre lights are dimmed. Limited to 3 to 5 minutes, Trailer Pod offers advertisers an uncluttered commercial environment when audiences are most attentive, relaxed and engaged. This optimal placement ensures higher impact and increased message recall.

In addition to traditional 30- and 60-second spots, we also offer special long-form big-budget opportunities for more creative, entertaining and memorable advertising.

Our national advertising programs also include:

– Exclusive preshow content opportunities
– Unique custom preshow sponsorships
– Experiential marketing
– Feature advertiser custom short films
– Screening events (exclusive Film Clubs & Social Media)
– Film Festival sponsorships (top DMAs with exclusive opportunities)
