Unique X, the number one global leader in cinema advertising solutions, is delighted to announce the renewal of its long-term partnership with Digital Cinema Media (DCM), the UK’s largest cinema advertising company. The new agreement will see the partnership enter its third decade, building on a successful cinema advertising collaboration that first began 17 years ago in 2009.
As part of this comprehensive agreement, DCM has migrated to Advertising Accord version 3.0, which includes Unique X’s groundbreaking programmatic module. Advertising Accord has the world’s only true programmatic cinema advertising solution, featuring a fully connected end-to-end supply chain from screen to media agency demand platforms through real-time bidding. The agreement also includes the deployment of Unique X’s RosettaBridge TMS for in-cinema advertising automation, Movie Transit for all advertising content delivery and Unique X’s advertising DCP mastering services, providing DCM with a complete turnkey solution for cutting-edge cinema advertising.
The majority of DCM’s screens now connected to Unique X’s RosettaBridge Theatre Management System (TMS), providing fully automated advertising capabilities for cinema operators. This integration delivers Unique X’s market-leading, fully automated cinema advertising operations, enabling DCM to maximise efficiency and drive increased demand for the unrivalled, high-attention environment of the big screen.
Chris Hagan, Founder and Chairman of Unique X, commented: “We are thrilled to extend our partnership with DCM, a collaboration that will soon enter its third decade. Since 2009, we have worked together to build and continuously enhance a comprehensive advertising solution that supports DCM’s success. This has been achieved by providing a complete, turnkey solution—from Advertising Accord to delivery with Movie Transit, including DCP mastering, and to the groundbreaking programmatic capabilities of Advertising Accord 3.0 . DCM is an integral part of Unique X’s worldwide advertising footprint of over 48,000 screens across 31 territories.”

Adopting Unique X’s fully integrated solution, including the innovative programmatic module, allows us to make cinema advertising more accessible and efficient than ever, ensuring it remains a vital and impactful part of the modern media mix.”
