Cinema Advertising in Brisbane

OzCoWilliams runs cinema advertising in Brisbane across 18 cinemas directly, spanning Event Cinemas, Birch Carroll & Coyle, Cineplex, Limelight Cinemas and Cinebar networks.

We are the only Queensland and Australian owned cinema advertising company operating across these brands, helping small and medium businesses and organisations get 100% attention through their local cinema.

We’ve helped hundreds of Queensland and Brisbane business owners, brands, schools, councils and not for profits be seen and heard by a local audience since 2003.

Our first cinema partnership was with the Hyperplex in Loganholme (now Event Cinemas Logan Hyperdome) and has expanded to a network of over 40 cinemas in Queensland alone.

Why Brisbane cinema advertising?

A Brisbane cinema audience is seated, attentive and undistracted - no second screen, no skip button, no remote control. Most cinema-goers travel within a 5-10km radius of the cinema they attend, which makes Brisbane cinema advertising hyper-local by default.

For example, Event Cinemas Chermside reaches the Chermside and north Brisbane catchment, week after week. Brisbane’s population is growing fast, so that local engagement grows with it.

That 5-10km radius is the whole point for businesses advertising in Brisbane. The city is a set of distinct catchments rather than one market, so a business in Capalaba is not competing for attention with one in Chermside.

Advertising in the cinema your customers actually attend puts you in front of the same local audience repeatedly, with an unmatched level of engagement - which is how recognition is built - instead of buying city-wide reach you cannot service.

But most of all, it helps your digital marketing work better, with recognition at the point of purchase.

Who advertises on Brisbane cinemas?

Cinema works in Brisbane for many businesses that want to be the most recognised inside a defined geographical area:

• Car dealerships with restricted primary marketing areas
• Real estate agents who want to dominate their market in a specific suburb profile
• Schools and colleges running enrolment campaigns to local catchment families
• RSLs and clubs talking to those who value entertainment
• Councils distributing community messages
• Local events building hype and attendance
• Retail, dental, medical and beauty clinics, trades and other local bricks and mortar businesses that can all benefit from local fame

You can watch commercials we have placed for Queensland clients on our work.

Brisbane cinema advertising campaign types

OzCoWilliams runs Brisbane campaigns from single-cinema local fame builders (Fame Maker, from $250/week depending on location) up to multi-cinema Brisbane-metro brand campaigns. See our pricing page for the indicative package tiers.

A common Brisbane cinema advertising pattern is to start in one cinema covering the core trade area, run it long enough to be noticed (a full quarter rather than a fortnight), then add a second venue as the catchment widens.

As with any advertising medium, cinema rewards duration over short bursts, because the same local audience returns and you become part of the cinema experience.

You can talk directly with the customer who has the problem you solve and is ready to purchase now, and with those who will have a demand for your services in the future.
