Exclusive partnership aligns with Spotlight’s mission to support independent cinemas
Addison, TX – (December 5th, 2023) The Independent Cinema Alliance is pleased to announce the exclusive cinema advertising partnership with Spotlight Cinema Networks, the only cinema advertising company dedicated to serving top U.S. luxury/dine-in and art house theatres in North America.
Together this partnership will allow ICA and Spotlight to better support theater circuits while enhancing the moviegoing experience. Spotlight’s goal is to create and deliver revenue-generating programs for circuits nationwide. The in-theater revenue opportunities Spotlight provides entice and entertain visitors with event cinema marketing, digital preshow programs, and creative cinema advertising.
“The ICA very much appreciates the support from Spotlight Cinema Networks,” said Joel Davis, ICA Board Director and Team Lead for the ICA Marketplace. “Spotlight is a proven leader in the cinema marketing and advertising arena.”
“Spotlight is thrilled to partner with the ICA and further our support of independent cinema. It makes perfect sense that we are the exclusive cinema advertising partner of the ICA, as we are steadfast in our support of the indie cinema space. ICA offers an incredible opportunity for exhibitors to ensure independent cinemas remain a vibrant part of the cinema industry.” Bernadette McCabe, EVP, Event Cinema & Exhibitor Relations for Spotlight Cinema Networks.
