Campaigns That Prove They Are The Champions

With Oscar season on the horizon Hollywood has begun to roll out their potential nomination flicks in anticipation as we've entered November, and Bohemian Rhapsody is no different. After having been in talks for almost a decade, amidst cast, crew, and script changes, the wait is finally over, and the long-time, highly anticipated Freddie Mercury and Co. biopic held a big weekend opening in its debut.

Along with every movie comes a slew of co-promotions and partnerships, but which brands stood out amongst the rest? In this blog, Hollywood Branded explores the diverse and unique campaigns to come from the top brand partnerships with Bohemian Rhapsody...

The Most Asked Question Of Our Agency - How Much To Budget

The one question our agency can count on to hear at least once a day from a brand inquiry is... so how much does it cost.  And quite frankly, that's a hard question to give an instant answer to. It is not like there is a schedule out there even similar to a network's media rate card that defines cost A, B or C.  And there are so many variables that have to be considered that it makes each brand's inquiry completely unique.

And there is no way to compare apples to oranges as far as content partnerships go - because each is unique in its content creator team, distributor limitations, cast allowances and of course, storyline.  But I'm willing to give it a shot! In this blog, Hollywood Branded shares some generalizations on how much product placement costs - from single one offs to comprehensive programs.

Podcasts Are A Massive Opportunity For Brand Advertising

Our team knows a thing or two about podcasts, as we produce one every week on topics centered around helping brand managers best leverage content partnerships to impact their sales.  And maybe it's our fixation with our own podcast, but it caused us to start looking at podcasts as a marketing vehicle for our brand clients.

And what we have discovered along the way is that most marketers are absolutely missing out on leveraging this fantastic branded content opportunity to get their brand integrated into third party content.  In this blog, Hollywood Branded is going to talk to you about a fairly new marketing practice, and how you can leverage podcasts for branded content partnerships to get tremendous engagement for your brand. 

Get Yeti For Some Big Partnerships

Breaking the myth that brand partnerships are only successful with live-action movies, Smallfoot set out to find new, creative ways to help bolster box-office success, and more than one brand heeded the yodel, I mean, call. But what exactly did those partnerships look like? We have you covered.

Animated movies offer a brand mecca of advertising partnerships. In fact, some of the most successful brand partnerships we have ever seen have been with films that have no options for product placement within them - either due to being a period film, or an animated family friendly movie that is going to crush the box office.  In this blog Hollywood Branded explores the legendary brand partnerships with Smallfoot (no parkas needed)... and how brands leveraged co-branded promotional partnerships in an animated movie to target families.
