Build Awards Season Momentum
While not every film may be in the running for an Oscar or every film or program in the running for Guild Awards, there are still many good business reasons to promote them. There are many Guild and Industry award shows leading up to the Oscars that recognize award-worthy work that can set your film, program and talent apart from the crowd.  SHOOT readers and followers are members of multiple guilds and unions. 

Annual Road to Oscar Series
SHOOT is pleased to continue our Annual The Road to Oscar 16-week Series leading up to the Academy Awards.  We talk to Producers, Directors, Cinematographers, Writers, Editors, Production Designers, Visual Effects and Music & Sound artists, gaining insights into the challenges they faced on their Guild and Oscar-nominated films. Preview articles: assessments of Oscar prospects for nominees, as well as a look at trends in this year’s competition. Coverage of the winners will appear on SHOOTonline immediately following the Academy Awards. All installments will be published  on SHOOTonline.com (website with 40,000 unique visitors,) The SHOOT Dailies (daily email newsletter,) and The SHOOT >e.dition (weekly email newsletter going to 15,000 subscribers every Friday.  Several parts will also appear in  SHOOT Magazine (PDF Issue with digital distribution).  PDF issues are posted online for readers to view/download.

Key Benefits to advertising on SHOOTonlne…
#1 When you purchase a banner it runs on the Home Page and all pages throughout the news, screenwork, and SPW sections of the site – and there are thousands of pages—a key benefit– because while thousands of users enter the site via the Home Page, thousands others enter via links in articles from one of our email newsletters so they are entering the site on all different pages and your banner will be wherever that is! 
#2 Banners will also rotate up and down on pages where there are multiple slots of your size. Sometimes running in two slots on the same page; always while appearing on all different pages at the same time.
#3 Mobile Friendly! if your banner is not an ideal size for mobile, you’ll be able to provide an additional size banner for mobile at no extra cost so your banners appear perfectly on all devices!
