That Whole Myth Thing
Most people think they know about the world of brand integration and product placement, yet many people don't understand that many things they hear about the practice are just that - myths.
Myth 1: Product Placement Is Costly And Not Ideal For Small Brands
Alright, let say, you see a brand or logo onscreen and automatically assume it's a multi-million dollar deal and that your brand could never afford that. While yes, some massive integrations cost large companies lots of money (think Chevy in the Transformers franchise or Heineken and James Bond), But you know what? Most don't. This myth is very common and a lot of brands are hesitating to try product placement. Want to learn more about these myths - read this blog!
The Infographic You Don't Want To Miss
The truth is, most placements are cheaper than you think. We provided an infographic in Marketing Mistakes Podcast Episode 2 that we want to revisit - and make sure YOU revisit as well.
Getting Your Brand in Content - Money vs Access, Or Both?
Producers, set designers, prop masters, costume designers and pretty much the entire crew of a film are constantly looking for brands to use in their film. Smaller integrations come with a much smaller price tag, and many times placements happen without cash even changing hands. Often, placements are made for free, simply with your brand providing product to work with.
The most important part of getting your brand in a movie or TV show isn't the money - it's the access. As an entertainment marketing company that has been in the Hollywood industry for years and years, we have valuable relationships with the crews of these productions, and they look to us to partner them with brands they can use onscreen.
The Life Of A Product Placement
Your placement isn't just a one-time marketing move. It's something you can use in promotional materials, on social media and even in conversation while talking up your product. Product placement is truly the gift that keeps on giving - if you let it!
