Meet Deanna, our Director of Creative + Concessions!
Deanna is the “Wizard Behind The Curtain!” and, yes, she’s from Kansas! Deanna oversees our concessions programs along with supporting creative marketing for internal and external campaigns. She has long loved the movie-goer experience. She feels that movies give people a place to escape, find their inner kid or superhero, and relax. With over 20+ years of experience in entertainment + print creative, Deanna manages our concessions campaigns while maintaining film studio + vendor relations. With her long term relationships, she’s able to help bring better solutions to cinemas and production.
Interested in film titled concessions? Generics? Private Label?
OC is a one-stop shop for your concession item needs. We collaborate with clients to meet their needs through film titled, generic, and private label concessions! In past years, we saw a need for affordable & fun generic concession items and designed our own line for cinemas to use year-round.
Deanna worked closely with studios on successful titled concession campaigns for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Despicable Me Franchise, Spider-man: Across The Spiderverse, Five Nights At Freddy’s, Migration, and Trolls Band Together. She has an eye for detail and leverages her relationships with studios to provide exciting art, often with subsidy, for affordable & sustainable concession tubs, buckets, and cups. Check out our current titled concession campaigns here.
Looking for promotional items for your cinemas?
Deanna is always looking for promotional opportunities around titles that excite cinemas & audiences alike. OC wanted to support cinemas for Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Film and while the strikes were still delaying major film dates. Friendship bracelets for Eras and disco cowboy cups for Renaissance were both hits and in high-demand by movie-goers!
We support studio promotional campaigns too! We collaborated with Universal Studios to bring Five Nights At Freddy’s pizza boxes to cinemas across the US & Canada. These 10” pizza boxes & digital assets assisted with concessions revenue at a time when cinema traffic was slowing and they gained a ton of social impressions for long-term visibility for studios and cinemas alike.
