Have you seen some of these films this year? Can you remember the brands or products in these films?
This is awesome OB!
🙂
OB,
What made you pick this topic?
I was always interested in knowing more about the top product placement companies and in my research found out about awards dedicated to it. I guess u can say I was curious.
Ok I had to read about the worst product placement first. Maybe I missed it while reading, but how is product placement discerned as best or worst?
From what I conclude what makes a good product placement in film is how well the brand is integrated into the plot. How well it creates consumer desire to purchase the product etc.
This question is for everyone.
Are u familiar with or have watched a branded series on the web?
LB-
Given u saw “Man of Steel.” Can you remember the brands or products in this film? Also, did it make u want to buy the product?
haha! Um, no, I honestly don’t. So no, I didn’t want to buy any products. What product placement did I miss?
U Might want to check this out. But Man of Steel had the most product placement ever in a film.
