Challenges
Low Sales
They needed more ticket sales across all locations.
Low Budget
In the past, their previous agency was targeting general terms and had poor traffic quality. Therefore, they had a small budget available for marketing.
Wrong Tracking
Their niche was not identified properly and they had incorrect conversion tracking.
Angelika Film Center has multiple cinemas across major metropolitan areas, like San Diego, Chicago, and New York City. This is far more than just a regular movie theater. With food and beverages offerings that go well beyond traditional concession stand faire, Angelika Film Center makes going out to see a show an event worth centering the night around.
While they do show some current new releases, they also have showtimes for classics, family favorites, artistic films, and more. They do show current releases but none of the big blockbuster films, mainly independent movies with less promotion, meaning it was even harder to find and capitalize on their niche.
The theater industry has been in decline ever since streaming became popular, so a major marketing push was required. As this theater chain isn’t your average movie theater, it needed to market itself correctly. This hadn’t been done properly in the past, which caused much of the client’s pain before coming on board with On The Map.
