What kinds of businesses advertise at Cicero 14?

QSR and fast-casual restaurants, auto dealers, retail stores, healthcare providers, local services, and regional brands are the most common advertisers in cinema. The format has documented results for these categories: a 34% lift in auto dealership foot traffic and a 53% increase in incremental retail visits, according to national campaign measurement data.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ad placements include the pre-show on-screen program that runs before trailers, lobby screens and static displays, and in some cases seat-back or pop-up formats. The pre-show slot is the primary placement. It runs while the auditorium is full and seated, delivering attention ratings 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital media.

How does theater advertising compare to TV or streaming in this market?

Sixty percent of Cicero moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, meaning traditional TV and most streaming pre-rolls never reach them. Cinema has no skip button, no second screen, and no background play. Attention scores run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports, and cinema outperforms CTV and YouTube on verified recall metrics.

Are there any advertising categories that are not accepted?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted on this network. Healthcare, financial services, food and beverage, automotive, retail, and entertainment are all eligible categories. If you're unsure whether your category qualifies, Alluvit Media can confirm eligibility before you plan a campaign.

How many people will my campaign realistically reach in Cicero?

Cicero 14 generates an estimated 44,800 monthly moviegoer impressions across its 14 screens. A standard 4-week campaign captures that full audience cycle. With Cicero's population at 83,223, cinema puts a brand in front of a meaningful share of local residents at a moment when they're relaxed, off their phones, and watching the screen.
