* The [[Film/FantasticFour2015 2015 ''Fantastic Four'' film]]'s trailer and poster promote "From the studio that brought you ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''", despite sharing none of the same directors, producers, writers, etc.
** For that matter, it's pretty common for Marvel Studios movies to have the tag line "From the studio that brought you ''[[Film/TheAvengers2012 The Avengers]]''".

* Hilariously, the DVD cases of ''Film/{{Django}}'' - the original from [[SpaghettiWestern the 1960s]] - have the director's name in tiny font, but say "The film that inspired Creator/QuentinTarantino" - for unrelated ''Film/DjangoUnchained'' - in massive letters, given how successful he and that film are now.

* Exceedingly common in literature, with the cover frequently advertising something akin to "from the New York Times bestselling author of ''Insert Book Here''."
** Other common promotions include "by the bestselling author of [[TheFilmOfTheBook the book that was made into a successful movie]]" or even "by the author of the bestselling franchise, of which this book is the next instalment".
* The two series ''[[Literature/SeekerBears Seekers]]'' and ''Literature/{{Survivors}}'' are advertised as "From the author of the #1 nationally bestselling ''[[Literature/WarriorCats Warriors]]'' series" right on the covers. For ''Survivors'', fans consider this rather misleading: while Warriors and Seekers have shared the same group of writers and editors under the pen name ErinHunter for a decade, Survivors has an entirely new team and isn't connected to any of the people responsible for the other two series.
* John Norman's non-''Literature/{{Gor}}'' novels have the blurb ''by the author of the Gor novels'' on the cover, where the ''Gor'' books say "[[TheTitleSaga the xth book in the Counter-Earth saga]]."

* The first paragraph of ''Super FanFic/PaperMarioX'' starts with a "Creator of" example, like a trailer for a movie, but a RecordNeedleScratch occurs halfway through, with the author assuring that "this is not a movie."

-->'''Stewie''': ''(to Brian)'' You tried to trick me! Like those commercials for upcoming movies.
-->''(cut to Stewie watching TV in the living room)''
-->'''Announcer''': This summer, from the guys who brought you ''Film/{{Superbad}}'' comes a hilarious new comedy.
-->'''Stewie''': Uh, I hate when they do that. Which guy? You know it could be the writers or the guys in the wardrobe department, they don't specify.

* Parodied by the 2007 Spanish-Italian animated film ''Donkey Xote''. The film had a lot of [[FollowTheLeader similarities]] with ''Film/{{Shrek}}'', bordering on plagiarism. Its creators lampshaded this, promoting the film as "From the producers who ''saw'' Shrek".
* ''Series/NotNecessarilyTheNews'' once ran a clip of fireworks set to orchestral music while an announcer delivered a bombastic introduction one word at a time. "From! The makers! Of! [[Film/PoliceAcademy Police! Academy! 2!]] Comes!" Cut to an all black screen, music stops. "Nothing of importance."
* During the ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', while joking about how ''Film/{{Battleship}}'' flaunts "From the company that brought you Transformers", they come up with a better tagline: "From the language that brought you Hamlet".

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': The ''VideoGame/PeasantsQuest'' preview advertises it as being "from the company that made that game ''Trogdor'', and that game ''Rabbit Algebra''". (''Trogdor'' was already a playable game on the website, but ''Rabbit Algebra'' was made up as a joke just for this trailer and was never playable.)
* In ''WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded'''s Film/ManOfSteel Superhero Cafe short, Batman points out how prominently Creator/ChristopherNolan's name was in the trailer, especially since this is the only reason they really list producers. Superman insists that's not why people are excited.

* Creator/{{Funimation}} uses the "from the studio" variant in quite a few of its trailers.

* This was this reason that ''WesternAnimation/FatherOfThePride'' caught the ire of the [[MediaWatchdog Parents Television Council]]; ads for the show cited [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation its studio]] as the creators of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', which they felt would mislead kid/family audiences into watching a show that was most decidedly ''[[AllAdultAnimationIsSouthPark not]]'' aimed at such.

Also, they didn't create the original Battleship game, they just bought out the owners).

A ComingAttractions trope. When a creator is maybe not prominent enough to carry a title on their own, but their work is popular [=and/or=] widely loved enough to mean something, the promoters of their latest project will highlight their track record to sell this new thing to people. Sometimes it does give the audience some clues as to what they might expect -- a signature line, a CreatorCameo, other tropes said creator is known to utilize.

* During the ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' of ''Film/TheAvengers'', while joking about how ''Film/{{Battleship}}'' flaunts "From the company that brought you Transformers", they come up with a better tagline: "From the language that brought you Hamlet".
