Intellectual Property

Either in a single ad/promo or across a whole campaign, Warner Bros. Discovery should always be represented by a mixture of genres and talent from across our global brands; from real-life entertainment to blockbuster movies, news and sport.

Approvals

All our brands require IP approval for both the use of imagery and how it is used; some brands and talent have specific restrictions about who or what they can appear next too.

Imagery

Characters that capture hearts. Iconic moments that define decades. Our imagery embodies the depth and connection of beloved stories and classic worlds.

Our photography style is as vibrant and dynamic as the stories that we tell. We choose relevant and iconic moments that come from the movies and shows our creators have brought to life.

Images should have clear subjects and focal points with surrounding space. Ideally, select photography where the subject is not too close in the frame to allow for masking and using our framing devices.
