Course Description

The one-year MA Film Marketing programme introduces students to all aspects of B2B and B2C marketing strategies for the film industry - from key art design and promotional trailers to media, publicity and social media plans. Across five modules of study, the MA Film Marketing explores the planning and execution of effective marketing campaigns for film distribution, cinema promotion, and platform release on VoD.  

Aspiring film marketeers will be immersed in the LFS creative hothouse of student directors, screenwriters, and cinematographers from over 50 nations  at Britain's longest established film school. The School is housed in two film studio buildings in Covent Garden, which contain shooting stages, full post-production facilities, and extensive camera and location kit. The course is explicitly industry-facing. 

This information is subject to validation approval from the University of Warwick and the final course outline may be slightly amended.

Student Destinations

Graduate careers include direct progression into the industry, and we will support you in securing mentors and work placements while you are a student.

Graduate careers include those in film distribution, international film sales, the exhibition sector (cinemas), broadcast, platform and SVOD providers and the whole of the in-production publicity and marketing production cycle that runs from casting through to delivery and launch. This is true for both feature films and for HETV drama productions which have trebled in volume over the last five years. The skills are also transferable into the even larger general consumer marketing and PR world for other non-film products in the arts (theatre, music) and in the consumer market generally.
