Playwire’s revenue amplification solutions will help Letterboxd bring more value to media buyers in the Entertainment industry.

Letterboxd, a social networking site for discovering and discussing films worldwide has teamed up with Playwire, a global technology company specializing in revenue amplification for publishers and content creators.

The Letterboxd deal expands Playwire’s existing portfolio of Entertainment publishers soon after the company’s announcement of an exclusive partnership with Collider. Advertisers will have even more of an opportunity to target a highly engaged community of movie fans and enthusiasts.

Letterboxd allows users to track and share their opinions about films and keep up with what their friends watch. It’s also the ideal platform for discovering what movies to watch next. Letterboxd has over 700,000 active users each month across its iOS, Android, and Apple TV apps.

“We are excited to partner with a premier entertainment-oriented ad partner like Playwire,” stated David Larkin, VP of Strategy and Business Development at Letterboxd. “This is a great step to keep our business top of mind for media buyers who want to get their messages in front of a vocal and vibrant movie-loving community.”

With over 600 million monthly views from passionate film fans, Letterboxd offers enormous potential for advertisers to reach consumers in the Entertainment space. Brands can target their ideal customers through email newsletters, push notifications, and in-app ad placements. Moreover, media buyers have granular control over which Letterboxd members see their ads based on a multitude of criteria from geographic location to films watched and other recent activity.

The consumption of streaming media and entertainment has steadily increased since the onset of the global pandemic. With theatrical releases switching to VOD as well as the creation of more streaming services, people are watching and talking about movies more than ever before. This year alone Letterboxd has seen a 40% increase in users and a 72% increase in pageviews from people wanting to engage with the media they are consuming.

“We are proud to welcome Letterboxd into our publishing partner family,” said Jayson Dubin, CEO and Founder of Playwire. “It is a win-win situation when non-intrusive video ads can garner the attention of film fans and critics alike.”
