Maoyan Launches New Marketing Service to Reach Entertainment Consumers

The new m***************** can realize more accurate advertising for offline scenarios, based on Maoyan’s insights of content and user consumption behaviors. Maoyan has reached a strategic partnership with more than 1,000 movie theatres across the country and dozens of advertisers for this new marketing service.

China has more than 10,000 entertainment venues, including cinemas, theatres, and large sports facilities, with attendance of more than 2 billion each year, which are ideal opportunities for advertisers to reach their target audience.

“Traditional advertising in entertainment channels is costly and not very effective,” said Maoyan Vice President Zhang Le. “As a comprehensive entertainment service platform, Maoyan has deep understanding of content consumption. We can connect brands with content by selecting ideal content and scenarios that fit the brands, and reach the target audience more effectively.”

With well-established platforms for online ticketing, content production, data analysis, and marketing services, Maoyan has accumulated massive user data on a variety of entertainment consumption scenarios. Based on its big data analytical capabilities, Maoyan can help advertisers select suitable schedules and the best channels to achieve better results.

The movie “Better Days” is one example. This romantic coming-of-age film was co-produced and co-distributed by Maoyan. The core audience for the movie was 20-to-24-year-old, female, white-collar workers and students in tier two to tier three cities. For the romantic drama “More Than Blue”, the audience was mostly in lower-tier cities.

Besides pre-show advertising, Maoyan also offers a wide variety of advertising media under different entertainment consumption scenarios, including ticketing machines, ticket stubs, glow sticks, and even smart ticket gates, which can increase exposure to the target audience.
