If it feels like you’ve seen more product placement in your favorite TV shows lately, you probably have. Once a marketing trick embraced mainly by the movie industry, product placement became popular with the small screen after TiVo and streaming services delivered a one-two punch to the efficacy of traditional 30-second ads. And the tools of the digital age are about to make this tactic a whole lot more futuristic…

Same, but most product placement isn't good in my opinion. I get having branded stuff to add some realism to the universe, but I hate when the product placement is just an ad in a movie or TV show.

@SiMeGamer 2 года назад

The point of advertising is not "go buy this!" (most of the time anyway). It's about subconsciously seeing it. It's someone buying it and you maybe making a connection "hey, that's from that movie!". Or the most common thing: making choices. If you are going to buy new sports shoes and you had a ton of product placement in your recent subconscious memory of Adidas, for example, you are far more likely to consider buying that if you don't have any negative bias towards them or anything you already know beforehand you'd like to buy. On massive scale, statistically this increases sales for the company. It's about knowing it exists. Not about giving you a sales pitch. If you've never seen the brand before, you are less likely to trust it than one did see. My bet is that regardless of your ADHD or whatever, you are affected by product placement. If not consciously, then subconsciously.

@IroAppe 2 года назад

When you are in the store and see that product, related feelings come up. When a character you like drinks that soda or drives that car, that brand subconsciously and automatically will give you a warmer feeling if you see it again. Our brains connect, the brain‘s function. So, if there was no marketing at all, you might see that car brand and not care at all. Now, after maybe half a decade of being fired to with that brand and having all these movies and have subconsciously connected the ideas and feelings with that brand. You are way more likely to at least look it up and engage with that brand. Being an ADHD person myself, I myself think - or thought - for a long time that marketing is useless on me. Now I think most people think that. It’s not something conscious, it is about feelings and emotions and making that connections so we are just a bit happier about that brand than of we wouldn‘t know about it at all. After analyzing that, also the effects on myself, I think that every human is susceptible to this phenomena to a different degree.

@@cat-le1hf I mean, if it's blatant, sure. But there is a lot of subtle product placement in film that you don't see and THAT is the one that will affect you. I'll never buy something because of product placement. I don't buy much and when I do it's almost always after some research. Also, of a product is good, I don't see why you wouldn't buy it because it was heavily advertised. It's not like it takes anything from it. Marketing departments are often completely separate from the engineering, design and manufacturing ones. I think it's more.on the film makers than the company the product placement is for in how tasteful it is. If they compromise the craft of film for an ad, I hate the director, not the company that asked for this.

@champagne.future5248 2 года назад

This might be an unpopular take, but I actually like seamlessly integrated product placement. It helps make the world more recognizable for one thing. Obviously fake brands can degrade verisimilitude and interfere with the suspension of disbelief. And brands In the real world carry emotional weight in our life. Product placement can reflect and shape that. It has to be done right though. If it’s too obvious it interferes with the suspension of disbelief by making you stop and thing “oh look, a product placement”. Advertisers must be willing to trust the artistic instincts of directors, which I imagine doesn’t come naturally to them. Keep in mind this is coming from someone who hates traditional ads with the burning passion of a thousand suns. I even got RU-vid Premium to avoid them. Thats how far I will go…

@jaklumen 2 года назад

Not ironic at all. The original script for E.T. specified that the candy was M&Ms. I remember reading a novelization of the show (abridged, with production stills) that apparently preserved some concepts scrapped for the movie. One was Elliot drawing a schematic for the alien ship ALL over his classroom, which was scrapped for him drawing a simple sketch of the alien with the words "E.T." The book also described the candy scene differently: "the botanist (E.T.) turned the candy over, and on the back was an indecipherable code: M&M." It was only over 30 years later that I learned that the Mars company refused to let their candy be featured, and so Spielberg went to the Hershey's corporation to have Reese's Pieces be featured, instead.

Prior to my Mom getting married, she had a friend whose dad ran an Ad agency in the Los Angeles area in the 1940s.

While Mom got to go see many movies for free, she could not recall any of the movie plots, as she was focused with noting the products in the movies, such as automobiles, gas stations, the pack of cigarettes used, brand-name logos; the names of the stores when movies were filmed on location; etc. Back then the movie studios did what they could to have generic looking fictionally named products/props; but name-brands did slip through to the movie screens.

@zarapoghosyan1986 Год назад

In my opinion, why the product placement is more effective than the traditional commercials is that firstly, compared to traditional commercials, product placement is less intrusive and disruptive to audiences, as it is often integrated into the storyline of the media content. Additionally, product placement has the potential to reach a large audience, particularly in the case of blockbuster movies or hit TV shows, providing a massive platform for brands to showcase their products to millions of people. Product placement is also often more memorable than traditional commercials, as it is integrated into the storyline, and viewers may be more likely to recall a product if it is featured in a movie or TV show they enjoyed. And last but not least, product placement can be targeted to specific audiences, allowing brands to reach their desired demographic with greater precision and effectiveness.

one interesting thing is for *continued* product support. right now, Pepsi (throwing a name out there) may have paid for a spot on an episode of a Netflix show. But unlike most of their shows (which get buried after the release because they haven't learned that weekly series builds audiences the way Disney and HBO did), this one has legs, a lot of re-watching power. So now Pepsi is getting eyeballs months, years after the show was intended to be 'done'. Netflix, with the digital replacement tech, has the ability to now go to Pepsi and say "pay us more, or we shop this scene around to other soda vendors". Pepsi can pay up, or Coke can go "we'll take that one" instead.

It's funny rewatching 90s episodes of the x files and seeing the Ford product placement. They were trying to sell some of the worst cars ever built. Back then they were just new cars, now I associate them with crack heads because those are the only people who still have them

Surprised not to see a mention of Josie and the Pussycats use of product placement in this video.

They've been doing this for years in film and TV. It's always easy to see the sponsors in films. -- Off the top of my head, Purple Rain (1984) - Prince is eating Doritos with the bag clearly showing. This is nothing new but will continue to grow in popularity I'm sure.

On our state tv station no adds are allowed. That means bottles are turned around to hide the label and no branded objects are in frame ever.

@gerardmontgomery280 2 года назад

For every good piece of product placement there are three occasions of an actor awkwardly drinking a can of coke so the logo is visible. Then there's Shang Chi which wasn't a bad film but at times felt like a glorified advert for the BMW IX3.

I still remember those GOD AWFUL Subway ads in Hawaii Five O. That wasn't even product placement. It was the middle of an episode and they literally just stopped the entire plot and had a very "organic" conversation about the amazing taste and value of Subway sandwiches.

Here's a topic you should explore, a different form of product placement: companies arranging to have their name and/or product appear in the questions and answers on TV game shows

Fun Fact - The Red Bass Beer Triangle logo was the first ever trademark registered in the UK. Under the Trade Mark Registration Act of 1875.

"tony stark drives an audi and we dont think much of it" seriously??? it is so in your face. watching a marvel movie is like being stuck in an audi dealership. IT'S SO NOTICEABLE!

@VcrThunder 2 года назад

@@vashsunglasses No. it's only if you're gullible enough to not get annoyed by having an audi grill shoved up your face. i dont care about cola but i still notice it on screen if theystick it in my face all the time lol. i dont care about microsoft surface but when they only use and talk about microsoft surface i notice microsoft surface. why do you think they buy these ads x3 if they thought nobody noticed. dont you think they would be throwing money out of the window?

Jaron Lanier's cautionary tale is coming to life.

@AskanHelstroem 2 года назад

the german public television always bashes youtubers for not marking products in their videos as adds, even if they explicitly say that they bought the item them self. In some cases they had to prove that a pic with a friend was not a collaboration and stuff. But on the other hand...in a typical 20:15 show, in the public television, two police officers (actors) talk ~5min about the new BMW, one of them recently bought. He talked about the nice features and we got a few scenic shots of hte car. And guess what...it wasn't marked as product placement. It will be listed in the credits, which won't be shown on TV, just if u buy the DVD... soo yeah...not so sudden in germany

@Adolphplays 2 года назад

They should have mentioned Waynes World. How they did product placement in that movie is refreshing. Just as refreshing as a cold Pepsi on a hot day.

Now I finally understand why we saw a Starbucks cup in game of thrones! Thank you cheddar! :D

@AdrianColley 2 года назад

It was a cup from Captain Cooks in Banbridge, Northern Ireland. It wasn't Starbucks at all. So that would have been an epic product placement failure if it was intentional.

Do you remember the big amount of M & M's product placement in the anime of City Hunter? It was almost a running gag.

There was a pretty clunky product placement for Converse sneakers at the start of the film "I, Robot". The star, Will Smith, could not completely hide his disgust at having to do it.

@davidmfriedman 2 года назад

actually the 'golden age of product placement' started earlier... in the 1978 Superman, the Movie, in a scene in Smallville, right on the kitchen table, was a box of Cheerios. They were even given a credit at the end of the film.

@solracer66 2 года назад

The Truman Show (the reality tv show of that name in the movie, not the film itself) was full of product placement for fake products and is probably the best guide to what advertisers would like the future of television to look like.

@martinmilev1651 2 года назад

Nothing beats the Starbucks ad in Game of Thrones... But jokes aside - I have no idea if this was intentional or not, but all I could think throughout my re-watches of Breaking Bad is how solid of a car a Pontiac Aztec is, so maybe they unintentionally advertised it?

@daveblock4061 2 года назад

Happily I disconnected with most media long ago. No TV or movies. Here I can click off or mute at will, and watch mostly documentaries. I won't even buy anything with a logo or name on it. Give it to me, sure. The world has been duped to pay for company's advertising. Great gimmick.

@jer103 2 года назад

Product placement is subtle and subliminal. That you have to have an interest to be influenced.

@Himesua 2 года назад

There were a couple Korean dramas I watched ( I think it was It's Okay not to be Okay and Record of Youth- possibly one or two others) they had a product placement for a specific sandwich based restaurant that the characters visited an ABSURED amount of times. The writers/producers were basically shoehorning the product placement into the dramas, in such an obnoxious way, it became a massive turn off. It not only made the whole restaurant unappealing it genuinely derailed the the story to the point of, "are you kidding me with this?!"

@timberwolfe1645 2 года назад

Utterly illegal. Can you imagine what this all do to testimonies, alibis and such in court cases? What were you watching? Coke. No, you're a Pepsi guy....no, the ad changed between you and me... Now imagine changing a toy guy to a real gun, and with VR technology on the rise too, great. Real world is to be dead soon

@LucasFernandez-fk8se 2 года назад

Is it really always product placement or do the characters sometimes in a show want to buy said product without the creators getting paid? Like if a character says “I’ll have a McDouble” is that really a product placement or are they just ordering for the storyline?

@ZoraTheberge 2 года назад

My understanding is that any branded thing has to, at minimum, get “cleared” so that it doesn’t conflict anywhere else. (Say, another fast food restaurant wants to advertise. They wouldn’t like if you also did a free ad for their competition). But really, a McDonalds would probably be rewritten as a generic diner, drive thru, or nondescript burger joint

@joedesparrois2241 Год назад

Excellent explanation, Without going over the top.

@SlaughterDog 2 года назад

Anytime a brand logo is clearly visible and unobstructed, it jumps out at me as product placement. Why don’t we see more casual and realistic product usage, such as a likable character occasionally snacking on Brand X but holding it in such a way where you’re seeing the side of it with only a portion of the logo visible? Partial logos are still recognizable, especially in context such as being on a red soda can, or the back of a metal notebook computer.

@zackkatz7815 2 года назад

[Fact check] In the beginning of the episode where you are showcasing examples of product placement you have a screencap from the walking dead of Rick taking a Polaroid picture. In this instance, this is not actually product placement. This is from season 8 of TWD which came out in 2018. Polaroid (the original company) went out of business on 2008 and the particular camera in the shot stopped being produced around 2006-2007. No way this was paid for by polaroid as at the time of filming this camera was already an antique and not being sold commercially.

@charlesajones77 2 года назад

Advertising time in the US is so ridiculous that no one is willing to watch commercial television anymore. In trying to cram more commercials in for more money, the TV industry vastly decreased the effectiveness, and therefore value, of those commercials.

I stopped watching Bones when she went on about the features in her new Prius. The show was already starting a downward spiral of more and more unlikely situations, but that was just a last step for me.

@casey91222 2 года назад

I remember loving the new version of Hawaii 5-0, but completely stopped watching it because I was so turned off by the nonstop product placements. GM, Microsoft, Subway.. it was a never ending commercial that would at times completely take away from the plot of the show.
