Product placement , also known as embedded marketing , is a marketing technique in which references to a particular brand or product are incorporated into other works, such as films or television programs, with a view to promote the product.
While references to the brand may be voluntarily incorporated into the work of fiction in an attempt to maintain a feeling of realism or comment on the brand itself, the placement of the product is a deliberate incorporation of a brand or product into a work in exchange for compensation. Product placement can range from the non-conspicuous appearance of a brand or product in an environment, to the integration and recognition of outstanding products in the work. For example, a film producer or television program may be paid to include and present certain brands of cars or consumer electronics in, or work produced by vertically integrated conglomerates (such as Sony) may include placing products from their other divisions as a form of corporate synergy.
In the 21st century, the use of product placement on television has grown, especially to combat the use of wider digital video recorders that can pass traditional commercial breaks in television programs, and to engage with younger demographics. Digital editing technologies have also been used to tailor product placements to specific demographics or markets, and in some cases add placements after the fact to works that did not initially have embedded ads, or update existing placements in a work.

History
Origins
Product placement began in the nineteenth century. At the time Jules Verne published the adventure novel Around the World in Eighty Days (1873), his fame has made the transportation and shipping companies lobby for mention in the story. However, whether Verne really paid to do it, is still unknown. Similarly, the painting by Eduoard Manet (1881-1882) shows a bar in Folies Bergere with typical bottles placed at both ends of the table. Beer bottles soon recognized as Beer Bass. Manet's motivation to include branded products in his paintings is unknown; it may only add to the authenticity of the work, but on the other hand the artist may have received some payment in return for his inclusion.
The study reported by Jean-Marc Lehu (2007) suggests that the films produced by Auguste and Louis Lumiere in 1876, made at the request of Lever Brothers representatives in France, and featuring Sunlight soaps, may be the first recorded samples paid for placement of products in film. This causes the cinema to be one of the earliest channels used for product placement.
With the arrival of photo-rich periodicals at the end of the 19th century, publishers found a way to lift their paper reputation by placing real copies of magazines in photographs of eminent people. For example, the German magazine Die Woche in 1902 printed an article about countess in his palace where he, in one of his photographs, held a copy of Die Woche in his book. hand.
Product placement is a common feature of many early acts and cinematic attractions that are the first ten years of film history.
Over the next four decades, Harrison Report often cites the case of brand-name products on the screen. He condemned the practice as dangerous for cinema. Publisher Publisher P. S. Harrison publishers' editors reflect his animosity towards the placement of products in the film. An editorial at Harrison Reports criticized the collaboration between the Corona Typewriter company and First National Pictures when Corona's typewriter appeared in the movie The Lost World (1925). Harrison Reports criticized some of Corona's typewriter incidents that emerged in the mid-1920s.
Recognizable brand names appear in movies from the early history of cinema. Before the films even shaped the narrative in the sense that they were recognized today, industry concerns funded the filming of what Tom Gunning described as a "cinematic attraction", a short movie a minute or two. In the first decade or so of the film (1895-1907) spectators attended the film as an exciting "sight attraction" for their stunning visual effects. This format is more suitable for product placement than narrative cinema. Gurevitch argues that early cinematic attractions had more in common with television commercials in the 1950s than they do with traditional films. Gurevitch suggests that as a result, the relationship between cinema and advertising is interrelated, suggesting that cinema is partly the result of advertising and the economic benefits it provides to early filmmakers. Segrave details the industry advertised in these early films. In the 1920s, Harrison Report published the first criticism of the practice on the appearance of Red Crown gasoline at The Garage (1920).
Movies and TV
Initial movie
Feature movies that have the hope of reaching millions of viewers attract marketers.
In many cases no payments are made for product exposure and no promise of marketing support is made when a consumer brand appears in the movie. Movie production requires props for the scene, so any movie owners, responsible for collecting props films, intermediate product placement agent contacts or product companies directly. In addition to items for use on screen, the product/service suppliers may provide production with a large number of complementary products or services. Tapping on product placement channels can be very useful for movies when vintage products are needed - like marks or bottles - that are not available.
One of the earliest examples is the The Garage , a Buster Keaton/"Fatty" Arbuckle comedy featuring the Red Crown gasoline logo in some scenes (though there is no conclusive proof that this product's placement is paid for). Fritz Lang's Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (1922) contains a prominent title card in a credit opening that read "The female star dress is designed by Vally Reinecke and made in the Flatow-SchÃÆ'¤dler und Mossner fashion studio."
Among the famous mute movies to showcase product placements is Wings (1927), the first to win an Academy Award for Best Picture. It contained a plug for Hershey chocolate. The film Fritz Lang M (released in 1931) shows a banner display for Wrigley's PK Chewing Gum, for about 20-30 seconds.
Another early example took place in Horse Feathers (1932), in which Thelma Todd's character fell from canoe and into river. He called for "life savior" and Groucho Marx tossed Life Savers candy to him. It's a Wonderful Life (1946) describes a young man with the aspiration to become an explorer, displaying a major copy of National Geographic . In Love Happy (1949), Harpo cavorts on the roof between various billboards and at one point escapes the criminals in the old Car logo, "Flying Red Horse". Harrison Report strongly criticizes this scene in its film reviews and on the front page editorial. In Gun Crazy (1949), the climactic crime is a salary robbery from the Armor meat packing plant, where Bulova hours are clearly displayed.
Next movie
Movie series Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit feature prominent placements. Movie ET is often quoted for its plentiful and clear placement.
In the nickname of the New World Pictures The Return of Godzilla , Godzilla 1984 , Dr. Pepper is subject to prominent product placement in new scenes taken specifically for rank - in scenes shot at American military bases, vending machines are located directly between two characters, and in similar scenes characters are often shown drinking soft drinks.
Cheerios and Coca-Cola have product placements in the musical Andrew Lloyd Webber Evita and in Superman: The Movie and the sequel Superman II . Clark Kent eats Cheerios for breakfast in Smallville. In Superman II's Superman II climax Superman struck a giant Coca-Cola advertisement and saves the buses full of people carrying ads for Evita , before he hit the Marlboro delivery truck.
Perhaps a prime example of product placement comes in the movie Cast Away where the main character of Tom Hanks is a FedEx employee. References to FedEx shipping companies are in almost every scene in the movie, with the FedEx logo and the overly stressed name. Apprentices (2013), featuring two unemployed friends looking for work on Google, is described by Tom Brook of the BBC as "one great advertisement for Google" that takes "surprisingly novel product placement".
Initial Television
In other early media, for example, radio in the 1930s, 1940s, and televisions in the 1950s, programs were often borne by companies. Soap operas are so named because they were originally borne by consumer packaged goods companies such as Procter & amp; Gambling or Unilever. When television began to replace the radio, the television show DuCont Cavalcade of Stars, in its day, was notorious for not relying on the sole sponsor. Sponsorship continues with programs sponsored by major vendors such as Hallmark Cards.
The striking appearance of the Studebaker motor vehicle in the television series Ed (1961-1966), sponsored by Studebaker Corporation from 1961 to 1963, as well as the appearance of Ford vehicles in the Hazel series (1961-1966), sponsored by Ford Motor Company from 1961 until 1965, is a noteworthy example of the placement of television products.
Maps Product placement
Type
Placements are divided into two categories: those donated to reduce production costs and those placed in place of compensation. Lotz refers to two classifications in these two categories, which he refers to as "basic" and "advanced". The basic placement is when the logo of an object or brand name is visible but the characters do not draw attention to the brand. Advanced placement is when a product or brand is named by a character in a show or film.
Barter and service offerings (cell phones provided for crew use, for example) are also common practice. Content providers can trade product placements to help fund ads that are tied to a movie release, a new season event or other event.
Product placement variant is ad placement . In this case, the advertisement for the product (not the product itself) is production. Examples include Lucky Strike cigarette ads on billboards or trucks with milk ads in their trailers.
Re-placement
Placing contemporary products into existing content creates new opportunities for marketers. Current product placements can be added to older programs when played back or released on video.
Examples include Numb3rs and Still Standing ; where a scene might initially be taken with a blank table, with digitally-sponsored sponsorship products, possibly for every view.
In 2007, dynamic or switchable placement became possible. Placements can be customized based on factors such as demographics, psychography or behavioral information about consumers. In-game advertising vendors like Massive Incorporated transmit user information to their servers, such as individual player IDs and data about what's on the screen and for how long, allowing user-specific placements.
The Hypervideo technique can incorporate interactive elements into the video.
Brand integration
The product placement variant is brand integration, which varies from placement when it shows "product or company name to be part of the show in such a way as to contribute to the narrative and create an outside brand awareness environment generated by advanced placements." Although this type of advertising is common on anonymous shows like The Apprentice , it can also be used in written television. The first example is by Abercrombie & amp; Fitch, when one of his stores provided a notional venue for part of the romantic comedy movie 'Man's Favorite Sport'? (1964). On All My Children one character takes a job in Revlon. Character work is part of character development.
Jurassic Park not only features Ford cars and other commercial products, but also includes scenes featuring its own promotional merchandise. One shot shows "Jurassic Park Souvenir Store", with products offered for sale to fans.
Product replacement
According to Danny Boyle, film director Slumdog Millionaire (2008), makers use "product shifts" to accommodate sponsors such as Mercedes-Benz who refuse to allow their products to be used in non-flattering settings.. While Mercedes does not mind having a gangster driving their car, they object to their product being featured in the slum. The maker removes the digital logo in post-production, costing "tens of thousands of pounds". When such issues arose prior to the filming, production companies were often forced to "lurk", a practice that only includes logos with ribbons.
Similarly, in The Blues Brothers (1980), part of the Dixie Square Mall that died in Harvey, Illinois, was reconstructed in faÃÆ'§ade and used as an indoor car chase scene. The signage belonging to the rental tenant was replaced with another vendor; for example, Walgreens will become Toys "R" Us.
Cars (2006) parodied NASCAR, a highly controversial sports ad that has long sponsored alcohol and tobacco. NASCAR sponsorships are replaced by fictional or parody brands; Dinoco Oil takes its place, followed by a series of automotive aftermarket products positioned as pharmacies or medical brands. "Dale Earnhardt Inc." replace it "Junior # 8" sponsor Budweiser to avoid advertising beer in Disney features. The former NASCAR Cup Winston Cup became the Piston Cup, removing tobacco advertising.
Audio vs visual
Placements can be either sound-only, visual-only or a combination of both. Russian television show ??? - 2 (phonetically Dom-2 ) (similar to Big Brother ) often shows a participant stating something along the lines of, "Oh, did you check out the new product X by company Y? "after which the camera enlarges the named product, explicitly combine the mention of audio with visual images. In Real World Challenges/Street Rules , participants often make similar comments, usually relating to mobile devices and carriers for text messaging.
Advertiser-generated programming
In 2010, Wal-Mart teamed up with Procter & amp; Gambling to generate the Secret Mountain and Jensen Project , both family oriented movies featuring characters using Wal-Mart and Procter & amp; Gamble branded products. Jensen Project also displays a Kinect preview.
Advertisers' Fundraising Program is one way Battle of the Chef: Harare successfully funded 2 Seasons (Season 2 & amp; 3) with funding from leading supermarkets in Zimbabwe TM Pick and Pay.
Self-promotion
20th Century Fox regularly uses their sisters Fox News and Sky News channels in their movie by entering it as a plot device when characters see newscast; which channels are shown in the movie depending on the settings. Characters usually state that viewers see Sky News. One example appeared in the 1996 film Independence Day and Mission: Impossible .
Parody
The episode pilot of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock featured General Electric (at 80% of NBC owners) Oven Trivection, but was said to be a joke by the show maker. The event then parodied the placement.
The 1988 Film The Return of the Killer Tomato mocks the concept - at one point, the movie stops, due to lack of money. The character played by George Clooney shows the placement of the product as a way to proceed. This was followed by several scenes with striking product placements, including a Pepsi billboard mounted in front of a criminal's house.
The Fight Club film, directed by David Fincher, bites the hand that feeds him by describing the violent acts against most of the products paid to be placed in the film. Examples include scenes where the Apple Store is broken, scenes where Brad Pitt and Edward Norton destroy the new Volkswagen Beetle headlights, and try to blow up the "popular coffee franchise", a thinly veiled scrubbing at Starbucks.
The Superstar movie, starring Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, shows every resident in town driving a Volkswagen New Beetles, perhaps for comic effects. Similarly, the film The act of shows the character Adam Sandler buys a Chevrolet Corvette for every resident of his city.
Wayne's World shows Wayne and Garth denouncing product placement while looking directly at the camera, holding a product, smiling and occasionally giving a thumbs up.
Kung Pow! Enter Fist forge product placement, highlighting the anachronistic inclusion of Taco Bell. In the same vein, in the Looney Tunes: Back In Action, the main character stumbles at Wal-Mart when stranded in the middle of Death Valley and obtains supplies just to provide support. Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens mocks his Sony sponsor by having one character giving another Blu-ray Disc with the tagline "This is Sony", just for them to complain that they do not have Blu-ray players, whose character responds with the version at Betamax.
Fake placement
X-Files (1993-2002) (as well as many other film and television productions) featured the Morley fiction cigarette brand, the choice of Cigarette Smoking Humans. Companies that produce Morley are also involved in a cover-up conspiracy, Brand X .
Ghostbusters has a fake product in the movie climax when the team faces Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
The Truman Show takes advantage of false placements to advance narratives from reality television. The protagonist's wife puts the product in front of the hidden camera, even naming them in a dialogue with her husband. This raised Truman's suspicions when he realized that his environment was deliberately created.
Some filmmakers create fictional products that appear in several movies. Examples include Kevin Smith (Nails Cigarettes, Mooby Corporation, Chewlees Gum, Discreeto Burritos) and Quentin Tarantino (Red Apple Cigarettes, Jack Rabbit Slim Restaurant, Big Kahuna Burger). This is becoming more widespread with the fictional brands Binford Tools that appear on TV shows Home Repair and Last Man Standing and in the movie franchise Toy Story , all starring by Tim Allen.
This practice is also quite common in certain comics, such as Svetlana Chmakova's Dramacon, which makes some use of the esque-placement product of "Pawky", (a modification of the Japanese snack name "Pocky", Popular in fans of anime and manga) or Naoko Takeuchi Sailor Moon , which includes many references to the Codename series: Sailor V, from where Sailor Moon played.
This practice is also common in certain "reality-based" video games such as the Grand Theft Auto series, featuring fictitious stores like Ammu-Nation, Vinyl Countdown, Gash (Spoofing Gap) Zip, Pizza Boy, etc..
Inverted placements
The so-called "reverse product placement" creates a real product to match what is seen in a fictitious setting. For example, in 2007, 7-Eleven recruited 11 American stores and one Canadian shop as "Kwik-E-Marts", selling product versions seen in episodes of The Simpsons, such as Buzz Cola and Krusty- O. In 1997, Acme Communications was created as a real TV station chain; the company is named for the fictional Acme Corporation of Warner Brothers. Willy Wonka & amp; The Chocolate Factory (1971) leads to the true Willy Wonka candy company, which was established shortly after the film was released.
In 1949, Crazy Eddie was created as a fictional car dealer in the movie A Letter to Three Wives. The name, given in 1971 to real-life electronics chains in New York City, appeared in 1984 as and the placement of advertisements on Splash . Parody 1989, UHF , returned to fiction by describing Ernie Crazy's throw, "buy this car or I'll hold the seal" as a TV ad campaign.
Music and recording industry
Although radio and television stations are regulated by national governments, print or recording manufacturers are not, leading marketers to try to get the products mentioned in the lyrics of popular songs.
In 2008, The Kluger Agency claimed to have proposed the placement of Double Happiness Jeans , a virtual sweatshop created as part of the Invisible Threads project for the 2008 Sundance Festival, in Pussycat Dolls Songs with additional cost. The company is not meant to represent a commercial product. It has been created as a collaboration between Jeff Crouse of the Anti-Advertising Agency and Stephanie Rothenberg. While technical products exist at the time, Double Happiness is meant to be an important part.
In January 2009, Migra Corridos , a 5 track EP including a ballad chord "El Mas Grande Enemigo", has received a game on twenty-five Mexican radio stations. The song is meant to be the wailing of an immigrant candidate who was left to die in the Arizona desert by a coyote (human smuggler). No disclosure has been made to the radio station that the US Border Patrol has commissioned the project with content created by Elevación, a Washington-based Hispanic advertising agency, D.C. and New York City.
In 2010, a video for Lady Gaga's "Phone" was repeated by critics for showing nine brands in nine minutes (including its Heartbeats headphone line), much as a paid product placement. Other 2010 music videos featuring PlentyofFish's website include Natasha Bedingfield's "Touch", Flo Rida and Akon "Available", Jason Derulo "Ridin 'Solo", and 3OH! 3 "Double Vision".
In 2011, Britney Spears' music video for "Hold It Against Me" advertised PlentyofFish and Sony; a review Washington Post criticized the video as an informercial.
Jennifer Lopez's Fiat-sponsored music video "Papi" was edited for broadcast as a 30-second advertisement for Fiat 500 Cabrio in 2011. The original video also advertises BlackBerry, Tous, Planet Love Match and Crown Royal.
The alcohol advertisement in the music video invited criticism from Curtin University in Perth, Australia in 2011. The Alcoholic Beverage Advertisement Code (ABAC) is in Australia to handle complaints, but Midori Liker placement in Cobra Starship "You Make Me Feel..." ad alcohol.
Comics
South African football comics book Supa Strikas accepts product placements to allow for free distribution of comics. Product placement occurs throughout the publication; on player shirts, billboards and signboards, and through location branding or scenarios.
Supa Strikas receives most of his support from Chevron, through his Caltex and Texaco brands.
In markets where Chevron has no presence, other brands enter, for example, including Visa in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Other brands including their logos include both billboard and background ads, and through branding locations and scenarios. These companies include Metropolitan Life, Nike, Spur Steak Ranches and South Africa National Road Agency, among others.
Other titles adopted the same system, including Supa Tigers and Strike Zone cricket comics.
Sports
Product placement has long been prevalent in sports at all levels.
NFL
While the now-defunct NFL Europeans allow liberals to use team uniforms by sponsors, the National Football League (NFL) does not. For example, the league prohibits sponsored boards from being painted into fields, even though Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, has their stadium field logo painted onto the FieldTurf field. In 2008, the league allowed sponsorship on uniforms, but not uniforms.
In 1991, the league allowed uniform suppliers to display their logos on products related to the NFL. Since 2012, Nike has become the official league uniform supplier.
Two major league teams - Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers - are beginning to adopt their identities from corporate sponsors. The Packers adopted the name "Packers" as they were sponsored by Indian Packaging Company. They then had "ACME PACKERS" written on their uniforms in the early 1920s after the Acme Packaging Company bought Indian Packaging. Steelers adopted their current logo in 1962 as a product placement deal with the American Iron and Steel Institute, which owns the rights to the Steelmark logo. Steelers were then allowed to add "-ers" to the Steelmark logo the following year so they could have trademarks on the logo. (Precursors of pre-NFL Steelers also regularly sell naming rights to companies in the Pittsburgh area.)
The League has placed itself. NFL Japan is the sponsor of the anime-themed football series Eyeshield 21 .
NASCAR
In auto racing, the concept of factory-backed contestants, equipped with vehicles and technical support in return for car manufacturers who gain visibility for their products in competition, dates at NASCAR until the 1950s and the Fabulous Hudson Hornet factory-supported Marshall Teague's. "Winning on Sundays, selling on Mondays" was once a common saying among car makers.
Important placement
Cars, clothing, beverages, household goods, furniture, consumer electronics, computers, restaurants, financial institutions, travel, airlines, and websites are just some of the product categories.
Fedex provides vehicle, access, and logistical support for Cast Away creation. The film depicts the true location of Fedex, and the company's CEO appears in one scene.
Automobiles
The most common product to be promoted in this way is the car. Often, all the important vehicles in a movie or television series are supplied by one manufacturer.
Luxury vehicles like Aston Martin, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Cadillac take advantage of brand integration in movies like Iron Man 3 , Specters and Jurassic World . Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
Cars (2006) describes a mixture of real and fictional vehicles as characters. Nothing is directly paid for product placement, but many are supported factories by manufacturers who provide technical assistance and vehicles during production.
Lexus LC 500 featured in the film Black Panther. The film itself has great opening weekends, high overseas sales, the third best-selling movie, and the best-selling movie for Marvel.
The Audi R8 is featured in the Iron Man movie, while the Acura NSX Roadster is featured in The Avengers.
Clothing and accessories
oTom Ford has used brand integration to enhance its fashion brand in movies like Skyfall , music from Jay Z's Magna Carta , and television shows like Empire .
oVera Wang, Caroline Herrera, Christian Lacroix, Lanvin, Dior, Oscar De La Renta and Vivienne Westwood are all featured in the Sex and the City TV series.
OUnder Armor, an athletic apparel company and currently valued at $ 6.67 billion has been featured in films like Fast and the Furious, The Martian, 22 Jump Street, and Fantastic Four to name a few.
Electronics and consumer computers
Apple products often appear in movies, music videos and on television. Apple has stated that they do not pay for this, but refuse to discuss how its products are placed; some Apple placements may come from brand positions as status symbols rather than actual paid promotions. Similarly, Pixar movies often feature references to Apple products, although this is a tribute to the involvement of its founder, Steve Jobs, as an early investor in the studio.
The Game Changer 2010 episode prominently featured iPad and aired before its release, while the 2015 episode of "Lost Connections" was presented entirely from the perspective of a Macintosh character laptop, communicating between the rest of his family through the FaceTime and Apple iMessage services. Shows creator Steven Levitan says they have a continuing relationship with Apple, but did not elaborate further. In the first case, when the episode credit states that the iPad is "reserved" by Apple, the company does not pay for ABC event broadcasts for integration, or buy commercial time during episodes
Due to its common ownership, Sony Pictures films have featured the placement of Sony consumer electronics products, particularly Sony Xperia smartphones, among other products. The James Bond movies Skyfall and Specter prominently display placements of Sony Xperia T and Sony Xperia Z5 smartphones, and Sony releases T and Xperia Z5 editions The compact is labeled as a tie-ins for the film.
In the video game, the most common placement is for the processor or graphics card. For example, at EA's Battlefield 2142 , ads for Intel Core 2 processors appear on the map board. EA's The Sims contains in-game ads for Intel and for McDonald's. Rare's Perfect Dark Zero shows many ads for Samsung on their menu.
In the TV adaptation of Green Arrow DC, some characters are seen using the device with Microsoft Windows 8 and 10.
Food and drink
Use of Reese Pieces as a prominent plot element in the film E.T. Extra-Terrestrial is the result of the sponsorship agreement; originally intended for favorite foods of titular characters being M & amp; Ms candy, but Mars, Incorporated declined the offer. The Hershey Company took sponsorships, including the right for the company to promote Reese Pieces with the film. The deal is considered a big coup for the company; The sale of Reese Fruit is threefold, and some retailers have difficulty meeting demand for the product.
Along with criticism for trying to ride the popularity of ET, Mac and Me movies were widely criticized for containing placements for Coca-Cola soft drinks and McDonald's fast food chain; both of these brands are an integral part of the movie plot, while McDonald's mascot Ronald McDonald makes an appearance during the dance scene at McDonald's, and is credited as appearing in the movie "as himself". Critics also noted that the name of the alien being featured in the movie, "Mac", could also be interpreted as a reference to the chain's famous burger, the Big Mac. Producer R.J. Louis denied that the film was funded by McDonald's; he previously worked on a campaign for the company and wanted to make a film that would help benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities, and must pursue the right to portray the McDonald's brand in the film (noting that he "is still the only person in the universe who ever owns exclusive film rights for trademarks of McDonald's, their actors, their characters, and the rest of the company "), but received funding from one of the chain's major suppliers, Golden State Foods. He also justified the expanded dance scene, since the trip to McDonald's was often seen as a "treat" for children of the era, and explained that "Mac" was meant to be an acronym for "Mysterious Alien Creature".
Tobacco
Tobacco companies have made direct payments to the stars for using their cigarettes in the film. Sylvester Stallone received US $ 500,000 for "using Brown and Williamson tobacco products in five widescreen movies".
In response to the Christian Science Monitor article that accuses the industry of deliberately using product placements as an advertising strategy, Tobacco Institute claims that product placements are driven by filmmakers to "achieve the desired artistic effect but also to offset production." cost. "He also claims" the 1970 federal ban on cigarette advertisements on television and radio does not prohibit payments to filmmakers for cigarette use in a film. "The denial ends with the sentiment that smoking in films gives a certain" aesthetic "of legitimate and policy makers film.
Airlines
Many airlines have clearly advertised in movies, in some cases to promote new aviation routes or just to raise public awareness of airlines. Pan American World Airways is advertised in many movies, including some James Bond movies. American Airlines is advertised on Home Alone and Home Alone 2 , and Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 model is featured in Wayne's World .
United Airlines is mentioned in the movie title United 93 ; this film, however, is based on real-life events.
American Airlines is featured in the movie Up Up the Air. George Clooney, pamphlets continue to be seen at the airport because of his career. The film is a huge support for American Airlines, but nothing is exchanged between movies and airlines.
Turkish Airlines is featured in the movie Batman v Superman . Warner Bros and Turkish Airlines signed a joint contract to help promote and support the film.
Radio, television and publishing
Television
List of television shows with the most placement of product placements (November 2007 - 2008, according to Nielsen Media Research)
Nielsen mentioned the scene in the CBS episode ' Mike & amp; Molly from Mike who consumes M & amp; M in Carl's apartment which is the best branded integration product and exchange the best opinion in 2013 in a written event.
Video sharing websites
YouTube users are allowed to perform product placements. For example, channel LinusTechTips by Linus Sebastian. Notifying YouTube is required, and YouTube reserves the right to disallow it.
Literature
In 2001, British author Fay Weldon published The Bulgari Connection , a novel commissioned by the Italian jewelry company Bulgari. According to The Independent , this is the first example of a literary product placement deal between fiction writers and established commercial partners.
Legal considerations
United States
Much of the US broadcasting laws relating to the date of airborne product promotion for the payola scandal of the 1950s broadcast radio. An investigation was launched in November 1959 into allegations that some radio-based disk jockeys received bribes in return for a radio broadcast ended with a fine of US $ 2,500 for Alan Freed's jockey discs (from WABC and WINS) for violating commercial bribery laws. On September 13, 1960, the US government banned payola in broadcasting. Below 47 USC Ã,§Ã, 317 "Any material broadcast by any radio station that monies, services, or other valuable considerations is directly or indirectly paid, or promised or charged or received by, such stations broadcasting, of anyone, must, at the same time be so broadcast, announced as being paid for or completed, as the case may be, by that person... "with similar provisions and related reflected in Federal Communications Commission regulations as 47 CFR 73.1212 .
These provisions have governed subsequent payola investigations, including the 2005 investigation into Sony BMG and other major record companies.
Often, a broadcaster claims to have fulfilled by putting the recognition in an unobtrusive place, as embedded in the credits. In 2005 US Federal Communications Commission commissioner Jonathan Adelstein stated "if broadcasters and cable companies insist on commercializing further new and other events, it is their business, but if they do it without publicly disclosing it, that is payola, and that is the business FCC. "
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, placements by commercial broadcasters are prohibited before 2011. On February 28, 2011, the telecommunications regulator Ofcom placements were legalized in certain types of programming. Placements must be "editorial justified" and do not place "inappropriate merits" on the product. Product placement is not allowed for products that can not be advertised legally on television, including alcohol, baby milk, gambling products, drugs or junk food. Placements are not allowed during children, news, public affairs, and religious programs. In addition, the broadcaster must disclose placements in the air by displaying the "PP" icon on the screen during the program for at least three seconds at the beginning, after each ad break, and ultimately. The first legal product placement on British television came during the episode of This Morning , for the NestlÃÆ' © coffee maker. Like all other ads, the BBC is prohibited from using placements on publicly funded services.
Extreme example
Mac and Me are notorious for their placement. Both Coca-Cola and McDonald's support the film financially, leading to the placement for them as well as others, such as Skittles and Sears in almost every scene, including irrelevant dance numbers set in McDonald's restaurants as well as characters wearing McDonald's Uniforms in almost all movies, even when he is not working.
I, Robot offers placements for Converse, Ovaltine, Audi, FedEx, Dos Equis and JVC among others, all introduced in the first ten minutes of the movie. One moment included a live ad in which Will Smith's character responded to the praise of his shoe, to which he replied "Converse All-Stars, vintage 2004" (the year of film release). Audi created a special car for the film, Audi RSQ. Surveys conducted in the US show that placements improve brand image. Audi RSQ appeared for nine minutes, and another Audis also appeared in the movie. I, Robot was ranked "worst film for product placement" on the UK website.
Demolition Man makes a heavy mention of the only remaining restaurant chain is Taco Bell (in a US release) or Pizza Hut (in European release).
The Island displays at least 35 individual products or brands, including cars, bottled water, shoes, credit cards, beer, ice cream, and web search engines. In the DVD Commentary movie track, director Michael Bay claims he added ads for greater realism.
The 2006 comedy film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby parodies a large number of sponsors at NASCAR. For example, Ricky Bobby thanked the baby Jesus for a particular product during dinner, due to contractual obligations. In one race, he drove his car with a giant Fig Newtons sticker on his windshield, which obscured his vision. A scene where Ricky and Jean Girard cars go flipped for a very long time is disrupted by the Applebee's commercial (NBC references use commercial breaks during its own scope).
Josie and Pussycats contains placements in most shots. This seems to be done ironically, because the movie plots revolve around subliminal messages in the ad. The general message of the film can also be interpreted as an anti-consumerist message. Movies do not seek or receive compensation for placement.
The 2009 Star Trek , in scenes where young James Kirk drives and crashes the Chevrolet Corvette, he operates the Nokia touchscreen smartphone. Before running the car off the cliff when chased by a floating motorcycle policeman, different Nokia trademark ringtones can be heard. The Finnish mobile phone maker offers the Star Trek app for its mobile. The use of contemporary products is ridiculed, since the scene is set in 2255.
Philippine Films 2013 My Little Bossings draws criticism for its widespread use of product placements. The reviewer highlights the movie as "one long ad", where an ad for a brand that is supported by a character actor is often inserted into the movie. Zig Marasigan of Rappler described the use of film product support as "some of the most unpleasant examples of local product placement while no effort was made to weave them into narration."
In a similar vein to the early radio and television programs, sponsored programs in the Philippines are not uncommon, where children's programs such as Potion Potion and Jollitown are produced on behalf of the company, display related products and properties in the show in question.
Viewer response
In April 2009, fans of the Chuck television series responded to the placement by the Subway restaurant with a grassroots effort to salvage the show from the cancellation. The movement has the support of players and crew, with star Zachary Levi series leading hundreds of fans to the Subway restaurant in Birmingham, England.
Criticism
Placements continue to grow, although consumer groups such as Commercial Standby are objected to the practice as "an affront to basic honesty". The Group requests disclosure of all product placement arrangements and notices before and during embedded ads. This confirms this to allow parents to protect children easily affected.
In 2005, Writers Guild of America, a trade union representing television script writers, objected that its members were forced to produce camouflaged ad copy.
Some scholars argue that product placement can affect inherently the creativity and originality of the film because the film producer can rewrite the script to include the product. Usually, the most successful product and merchandise placement among certain film genres can ultimately limit the diversity of the film.
Research
Effectiveness
Like most marketing tactics, product placement leads to both explicit and implicit advertising effects. Explicit effects can be observed directly and usually seen by higher recall scores. They are deeply connected with the conscious mind. Implicit effects can be observed by behavioral changes - such as higher purchase intentions. They are entirely based on the subconscious mind. Implicit effects are more relevant to purchasing decisions and are therefore more valuable than explicit reactions.
Call back
Recall describes whether people can name a product after viewing it in the content. Research shows that there is a significant relationship between product placement and withdrawal.
Attitude
Product placement also leads to a change of attitude toward the product or brand.
Buy intent
Many studies have shown higher purchase intentions as a result of product placement.
Subliminal effects
Product placement affects the audience consciously, but also at the subconscious level. Science shows that there is not even an explicit and conscious effect to activate the subconscious effect. For example, product placement can lead to exclusion of competitor brands from a pool of audience considerations - unconsciously. It is also expected to cut back on consumer advertising defensive reactions by focusing on the subconscious character of product placement.
Negative effects
Under certain circumstances, product placement may result in no or even negative effects. This usually happens if the placement of the product is too obvious, while the audience also feels manipulated.
Placement moderators
Conformity
The better the placement of the product according to the surrounding content, the better the implicit effectiveness (such as the attitude or intention of purchase).
Audio vs visual
After viewing Seinfeld episodes with visual, auditory, and audiovisual product placements, the assignment task indicates that the audiovisual product placement is being revoked, the best visual product placement is somewhat lacking and audio placement at the very least. In audiovisual recognition tests are still remembered best but audio placements keep in mind the second best placement and the best remembered third visuals. As shown, the most effective types of placements seem to vary depending on the task, but audiovisual placement seems often most effective. However, the placement of audiovisual products is not remembered best when there is more than one audiovisual placement at once, making it difficult to remember each. In case of placement only on the audio level, one should make sure it is very prominent to get any effect at all.
Character appeal
People tend to like brand names that are paired with more attractive faces than those paired with unattractive faces. The more often a brand is paired with an attractive face, the more people love it.
Product benefits
The placement of the product is considered to interfere with the film, especially when repeated, found in one study to be counterproductive. Moderate repetition of subtle product placement does not increase the person's feelings for the disorder.
Products integrated in movie plots are better memories, though not if more than one product is displayed at a time. In one study placement connected to the most commonly known story, the product used by the main character is less commonly remembered and the product in the background is remembered at least often.
Placements are found to be more effective on larger screens compared to smaller ones. Also, products placed in the first half of the film tend to be remembered better than products in the second half of the film, which show the effect of virtue.
Engagement Level
High engagement with the program makes it easier for people to recognize product placements. This can cause a positive effect, but it may also cause a negative reaction. The same is true for high product category involvement.
Audience demographics
Culture attribute
Older research mentions the difference between different cultural areas. For example, Australians, Austrians. and Germany tends to evaluate more critical product placements and show less positive reactions than Americans or people from certain Asian countries like India.
Age
Children are usually more easily influenced than adults.
Sex
If the product is supported by someone, there is a stronger priming effect if the audience has the same gender. Women tend to be affected a little more easily, but show more negative reactions when the product can be described as ethically questionable (eg alcohol).
Measurement
To measure the success of product placement, first track the placement parameters themselves, such as ease of identification, screen time, number of exposures, or relationships with the main characters. The information is also often used to determine the price of a particular placement. Second, effectiveness is measured using direct (for explicit memory effect) as well as indirect measurement (for implicit memory effect).
Explicit memory measurements
Explicit effects are measured by recall or recognition tests. The subject is asked to mention the product he/she noticed (remember it is free). This survey can also be helped by providing additional information such as certain product categories. In the recognition test, the product selection is shown to the interviewee, who then needs to select what he or she has seen before.
Measurement of implicit memory
The implicit effect is measured indirectly by observing behavioral changes. This can be done by tracking a set of considerations and purchasing behavior of people, measuring brain activity or using abstract indirect test arrangements such as the word fragment or stem completion test. The implicit association test (IAT) is also a valid measurement tool.
