Specialists in Advertising for Film, TV & Streaming

Effectively reaching film and streaming audiences requires more than a presence in entertainment environments. It requires understanding of how people discover, choose and consume content. We are a dedicated entertainment & film advertising agency with a team of media strategists who know this market through decades of experience. From the communities that form around independent cinema to the moments that drive conversation across theatrical, broadcast and on-demand, we know what moves audiences and what doesn't.

Our work spans the full breadth of the entertainment market, from studio releases and streaming service advertising to indie titles looking to find their audience. We combine audience intelligence with media planning to ensure campaigns reach the right viewers at the right moment. Whether you're launching a theatrical advertising campaign, driving subscriptions for a streaming platform or building an audience for an on-demand release, we are the entertainment advertising agency that can get you in front of the right people.

Some of our work

Recent campaigns across film, streaming and on-demand releases.

We're part of the Entertainment Industry

COUSIN is an entertainment specialist agency. Film, TV and streaming is what we do, and we follow the industry as closely as the clients we work with, from festival circuits to platform trends and film release strategies.

We are an independent entertainment advertising agency, which means our recommendations are driven by what is right for your campaign rather than commercial arrangements with media owners.

Industry Members

UKIE members and IPA Accelerator graduates, attending the same events as our clients.

Independent

No preferred partners, no volume commitments just campaigns for your audience and objectives.

Genre Benchmarked

We can show you how your campaign performs relative to comparable film, VOD or subscription-based activations.

Film & Streaming Advertising Services

Services built for the full release lifecycle, from theatrical launch to platform and beyond.

Audience Intelligence

Understanding who watches titles like yours, and where to find them, is the foundation of what we do. We map viewing behaviours, platform preferences and genre affinities to build a clear picture of your audience.

Media Strategy

We build strategies based on how your audience discovers and chooses what to watch, not assumptions. Recommendations grounded in entertainment data and shaped around your campaign window, budget and objectives.

Media Planning

From channel selection to scheduling and phasing, our media planning is designed to maximise impact across the full campaign period. With full visibility of where your budget is going and why.

Media Buying

We buy across the full range of film and entertainment media, from connected TV and streaming platforms to digital, social, audio and beyond. As an independent agency, our campaigns are driven by performance, not partnerships.

Global Execution

For studios and distributors releasing across multiple territories, we manage the complexity of multi-market entertainment campaigns without losing focus on local audience nuance.

Ongoing Campaign Support

Campaigns don't end at release. We monitor performance, providing regular reporting and making data-led adjustments where required. We value partnerships over single transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a streaming and film advertising agency approach a campaign?
An experienced agency starts by understanding the release context — theatrical window, streaming platform dynamics, genre audience behaviour, and the difference between a title with existing awareness and one building from scratch. At COUSIN we build bespoke plans for every title we take on, creating a media planning and buying strategy built for impact in the specific context of the release.
