Outcomes

Reimagining Bleecker to align with the mature, insightful nature of its audience.

Bleecker Street faced a crowded market with many competitors, such as A24 and Focus Features. To stand out, they needed to implement a brand strategy that resonated deeply with their audience. By showcasing their inspiring films like “Trumbo,” “The Assistant,” and “Golda,” Bleecker Street was able to connect with those who appreciate narratives with substance and complexity. These films, characterized by their impressive craftsmanship and depth, were pivotal in conveying the brand’s message to its target audience.
