Brand And Consumer Attitudes Toward Product Placement And Brand Integration

Our team conducted a survey exploring the best entertainment marketing strategies used by brands and agencies, and how receptive consumers are to these strategies. And it was a massive survey - with some surprising results along the way.

Product placement effectiveness and success of entertainment marketing, in general, depends on the existing attitudes toward product brand integration by the viewer - and the brand marketer. And there's some good news, brand integration is welcomed by all! In this blog, Hollywood Branded shares insight into how brands, their agencies, and consumers feel about product placement, and how product placement positively affects brand sales.

Making The Connection

In fact, 81% of brands, agencies, AND consumers we surveyed felt positively toward the practice. Less than 20% of respondents felt the practice is forced, annoying or disruptive - a big win for brand marketers as the risk of turning off consumers is just not that high. And from our survey, marketers vocally supported the practice, with high expectations of increasing budgets.

Product placement allows for a positive association with a brand or product and removes the forced feeling of traditional advertising. Overall, when a brand is considered to be organic, or natural in its integration, the brand is more likely to be positively received by the consumer.
