The Film Agency

Advanced targeting technology enabled efficient distribution of VoD in over 18 different languages across Europe.

Emerse powers the digital promotion, media buying and execution of Independent European VoD Films distributed by The Film Agency. Targeting audiences interested in film, cinema, and entertainment in specific countries, translated or subtitled in their respective languages, across Europe. Walk This Way, TIDE Experiment, and Cineuropa is projects supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission.

Challenges

The Film Agency uses a unique model for targeting their audience in several countries across Europe. During 2015 we distributed over 30 European films in more than 18 different languages. Each video has allocated views per market according to the population of each country.

Solutions

Emerse developed a specific targeting algorithm used by our DSP, that enables easy selection of geographic areas and filter per population. The system also detects users language without geographic location. Meaning we can target French speaking people outside of France.
