Cinema claims to be bucking the trend, with 6.5% growth in 2020
In the face of changing consumer habits and a weak ad market, cinema is claiming to be the bright spot on media’s horizon, with 6.5% growth in January 2020, when compared to January 2019.
Val Morgan Cinema’s managing director Guy Burbidge said even though many advertisers still see it as a “traditional” medium, cinema had in fact undergone a revolution.

Val Morgan said cinema advertising is 2.6 times more effective than TV at making brands ‘top of mind’
The group, using Val Morgan’s CineTAM audience measurement tool, also noted 26% growth in the “difficult to reach” 14 to 24 year old demographic.
“Cinema, Burbudge said, remained one of the few places consumers can truly escape”
