Client Background
A leading film distribution agency partnered with Trueview to promote upcoming movie releases across major shopping malls. With theatrical trailers largely limited to cinema halls, the agency wanted to build early buzz and recall among casual mall visitors days before release.
The objective was to:
- Showcase movie trailers and release-day creatives in high-visibility mall zones.
- Reach a wider audience beyond cinema-going customers.
- Reinforce movie awareness during repeated mall visits.
- Manage content updates easily across multiple mall locations.
Problems Faced

Limited Pre-Release Visibility
Movie promotions were mostly restricted to theatres, missing the larger mall audience.

Short Attention Windows
Mall visitors move quickly, making static posters ineffective.

Manual Promotion Gaps
Updating creatives across different malls required significant coordination.

Low Recall from Traditional Media
Posters and standees failed to leave a lasting impression before release day.
Other Observations
- Competitive Disadvantage – Schools without modern technology were increasingly seen as less attractive and less desirable by parents and students.
- Retention Concerns – The absence of advanced tools made it harder for schools, universities, and coaching centers to retain students in a competitive environment.
- Educator Frustration – Teachers expressed the need for better technology to simplify teaching complex topics and engage a diverse student body.
Solutions Implemented
High-Impact Mall Displays
Trueview Digital Signages were installed in mall atriums, escalator zones, and main walkways, ensuring maximum exposure.
Trailer & Creative Playback
Movie trailers, motion posters, countdown creatives, and release-day announcements were played in dynamic video loops to capture attention instantly.
Timed Content Scheduling
Campaigns were scheduled to intensify closer to release day, increasing frequency during peak footfall hours.
Centralised Content Control
All displays across multiple malls were managed from a single dashboard, allowing instant creative swaps and campaign extensions.
