For Advertisers
Reach the audience that actually watches indie film.
Run transparent, tier-priced video ads on Indieo. Pre-roll and mid-roll placements, targeting by geo, age, gender, and genre, across every short, feature, and series on the platform.
Minimum first campaign: $50. No gatekeepers — start today.
Granular targeting
Stack geo, age, gender, and genre filters to reach the exact audience you want.
Pre-roll & mid-roll
