Movie marketing has become just about ‘promotions’ today. It’s quite evident that production houses pull all stops in order to promote not only the movie but each element and cast involved in it. The definition of movie marketing has changed and there are new add-ons- content creators.
When it comes to promotions- no creator, actor or performer wants to be left out. The more updated the celebs are nowadays, the more publicity their content gets. It’s all about making the best use of social media platforms when it comes to getting the limelight and attention of people before their movie releases. When Bollywood celebrities collaborate with social media content creators, it gives them a good reach.
Content creators collaborate with other creators to get more reach on their pages and it works as each creator has a different audience. A dancer creator would have a content audience who enjoys dance while a comedy vine creator would cater to an audience that enjoys light-hearted content. When these two collaborate, it would mean two different audiences getting introduced to two different kinds of content.

When they collaborate with the social media content creators, it gives them a combined reach and eyeballs.
