Not All Placements Are The Same

Trade. Paid. Amplified. Which Path Fits Your Brand?

Some brands need product in the hands of productions. Others need guaranteed integrations, talent, content, media and amplification wrapped around the placement. The right answer depends on your goals, inventory, timing and budget.

  • Trade Placement: product-led access with little or no media spend.
  • Paid Placement: negotiated integrations with defined visibility and deliverables.
  • AMPLIFY: placement plus creators, content, PR, media and extensions that turn one moment into a larger campaign ecosystem.
