Problem
Streaming platforms have difficulties separating from one another due to the conetent and ways of advertising their content
Insight
Quality over quantity
Idea
The Criterion’s collection separates themselves from other streamers with their special features such as director interviews, video essays, restored prints. Highlight their curated library of behind the scenes footage for cinematic classics through a series of billboards. Position Criterion as the most sophisticated/prestigious streaming platform that stands alone. (The New Yorker of Streaming)
