SnipClip's online marketing tool enables Kino.de to run social promotion campaigns for the latest films through its own Kino.de Fanbook that activates users and incentivizes them to collect the movie highlights. Kino.de's customers, such as film distributors also benefit, as their films are incorporated and promoted to Kino.de's audience.

Universum Film, the leading independent film distributor in Germany, decided to use SnipClip for the promotion of its new documentary Unsere Ozeane (original title: "Oceans") on Facebook. The movie was the second most successful documentary of all time in France and will be released in Germany on February 25th. SnipClip's Fanbook introduces the users to some impressive underwater pictures and informs them in an entertaining way about some very surprising facts of the underwater world.

For the promotion of its newest musical movie NINE the German film distributor Senator started a Facebook campaign in cooperation with SnipClip.

Senator Filmverleih ranks among the Top 5 of independent German theatrical distributors.

For a total of three months, Facebook users are invited to collect slideshows of Design Hotels(TM) members in Spain, Germany & Switzerland, and Austria & Italy.
