We look at the following elements when deciding what works or doesn’t work for each movie’s marketing efforts. The categories and marketing initiatives will make more sense when you listen to the podcast…

MARKETING CATEGORY – MOVIE POSTER

MARKETING CATEGORY – MOVIE TRAILER

MARKETING CATEGORY – MOVIE MUSIC/SOUNDTRACK

Music plays a big part when marketing a movie and can deliver a deeper experience when audiences watch the film. We identified the music from this movie as an important part of the movie’s long-term success. Here’s a sampling of the songs from the Point Break soundtrack.

RATT - Nobody Rides For Free
Concrete Blonde - I Want You
