Full textAbstract:
Seminario para optar al grado de Ingeniero Comercial<br>El product placement, “tie in”, inserción de productos o emplazamiento del producto es introducir productos publicitarios donde se pueda distinguir una marca generalmente conocida dentro de algún espacio publicitario que no sea una tanda comercial, es decir; pueden introducirse estas marcas (o productos) tanto en películas como en series de TV, programas estelares, videojuegos, en partidos de fútbol e incluso dentro de letras de canciones (donde se mencionan marcas de productos), con algún fin publicitario.
Es de nuestro interés investigar sobre el Product Placement ya que es una nueva forma de publicidad que surge debido a que la audiencia y televidentes empezaron a saturarse de la publicidad tradicional y antes vista. Por ejemplo cuando el televidente se encuentra en la mejor parte de la teleserie se les interrumpe con comerciales la mayoría de las veces largos y repetidos que a vista del ser humano se convierte en una rutina aburrida y persuasiva, siendo el único fin hacer que el televidente consuma el producto.
Este tema (PP), tiene argumentos a favor, pero también en contra. Las empresas cinematográficas se encuentran a favor del PP porque les conviene debido a que justamente cuando están en el período de producción de la película (con menos recursos), o series, o juegos, etc. obtienen ingresos por este medio. Pero la otra parte, los que aun no están totalmente convencidos de que el PP es favorable, como por ejemplo los probables auspiciadores no tienen muy clara si esta forma de publicidad en realidad sirve para aumentar la intención de compra, la recordación de la marca, la actitud hacia la marca, etc.
De esta manera el objetivo de nuestro seminario es presentar el concepto de product placement, diferenciarlo de otras formas de comunicación, clasificar los tipos de de PP, ventajas y desventajas, sus efectos y regulación, como es el proceso de trabajo y su rentabilidad. También para obtener un mayor conocimiento en esta

materia, ya que queremos saber si es efectivo y si funciona el PP, si realmente aumenta la intención de compra, recordación de marca, etc. y si es recomendable que las empresas inviertan en esta nueva forma de introducir la publicidad.
Respecto a la justificación nos parece interesante investigar sobre el PP ya que cada vez percibimos que aparece con mayor frecuencia en los cines, en la televisión, video juegos, deportes, libros, etc. y creemos que debido a esta profesión es interesante tener un mayor conocimiento sobre este tema para tomar decisiones acertadas.
Método que utilizaremos:
Trabajaremos un marco conceptual: Definiciones, Conceptos, Marco Teórico que se elaborará a partir de una revisión de la literatura acerca del tema

Full textAbstract:
Marketers have always been looking for alternative ways to reach the target population with their messages. One approach that has grown the last decades is product placement that has become a large arena for companies to involve in their marketing communication. It has been shown that people tend to dislike traditional advertisement such as commercial brakes in TV and tries to avoid it by switching channel. Since product placement is a type of advertisement that is embedded in a movie or TV-show and cannot be zapped away without missing the story of the movie or TV-show, it is a good opportunity to reach out with a company’s message. Several studies have been done in the field of mapping the attitudes towards product placement but no research has been done with the Swedish audience in focus. Therefore the purpose of this thesis is: “…to investigate what attitudes the Swedish audience has towards product placements in Movies and TV-shows”, which will lead to a greater knowledge for Swedish marketing managers about the attitudes towards product placement in Sweden. This thesis is a quantitative study with a descriptive single cross-sectional design. The data was retrieved through a questionnaire online. The sample frame was generation Y which is people that are between the ages 18-35. The study showed that the general attitude towards product placement is positive for the Swedish audience. When it comes to the different dimensions of product placement; visual-only, audio-only and a combination audio-visual it is shown that the visual placements is seen as the most positive way to place a product in a movie or a TV-show. It could also be seen several similarities with previous studies that prominent placement has a lower attitude while a subtle placements has a more positive attitude.

This thesis is an ethnographic study of the product placement decisions made on-set during the production of a feature film. A concise historical review of the use of products in film and television is followed by an overview of the current research literature.

The research question which directed the present study intends to add to the existing literature: product placement is part of a creative decision-making process that happens throughout production on-set with filmmakers using products to help tell their story. The method used to approach the research question is an ethnographic observation of the decision-making process on-set, supplemented by interviews with professionals in props, art and set decorating departments. The findings present the results of the study summarizing the observations and interviews supporting the research question. The last section outlines the conclusions and areas that call for further research.

Anil, Pillai Deepa. "Essays on Product Placement: An Analysis of Key Executional and Individual Level Factors that Influence the Effectiveness of Product Placements." OpenSIUC, 2011. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/dissertations/364.
Full textAbstract:
"Product Placement" or "Brand Placement" is the paid inclusion of branded products or brand identifiers, through audio and/or visual means, within entertainment media. This dissertation is a collection of three essays that investigate factors affecting the effectiveness of product placements. The first essay focuses on two measures of product placement effectiveness - audience recall and attitudes toward the placement. Extant empirical studies that address the antecedents of these constructs were integrated through a meta-analysis. Some key findings are as follows. The prominence of placements is a controllable executional factor that was found to have a significant positive relationship with recall. Recall was also affected by modality - audio-visual placements had better recall than audio-only placements which in turn performed better than visual-only placements. Audience attitudes toward placements had a strong relationship with the nature of the product - products that had negative ethical connotations were found to be less acceptable to audiences. However, viewers who were avid consumers of entertainment media tended to have more positive attitudes. Essay 2 focuses on the effect of repetition of placements of the same brand within a single television program. The results from an experiment show that unlike advertising, there was no negative-U relationship between the frequency of placements and audience attitudes toward the brand placed. In the case of visual placements, attitudes actually improved with frequency as a result of the mere exposure effect. However, this effect was not observed in the case of audio placements. Essay 3 addresses "Need for Cognition", an individual level variable that was found to affect audience response toward the brand placed. Data were collected through an online survey and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The mood of the viewer and their parasocial attachment with the character in the program that was associated with the placement had significant positive relationships with their attitude toward the specific placement, which in turn had a strong positive relationship with the attitude toward the brand. However, the latter relationship was moderated by NFC, with the effect being significantly stronger for those viewers who did not engage in, or enjoy analytical activity. Limitations of the studies, the relevance of the findings to marketing practice, and the contribution to scholarly research are discussed.

Korčeková, Andrea. "Product placement and its legal aspects." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2009. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-17010.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with analysis of legal aspects of product placement. First, it looks at product placement from a general point of view. The work explains past legal framework where product placement was a part of "unfair competition" both in EU and Czech Republic. Then, it analyzes particular articles of directive 2007/65/EC which regulates the term product placement as the first in the history. The analyses showed that there are a lot of vague and disputable terms, e. g. "significant value", provision "free of charge", or ensuring that viewers are "clearly informed" about existence of product placement. Further, the work analyzes an implementation of the directive to the czech law and its comparison with Slovakia. Product placement was translated into czech law as "umístění produktu". The implementation is reflected in the "on-demand audiovisual media services Act" but also in the amendment of Act Nr. 231/2001 Sb. By contrast, Slovakia did not create a new special Act for non-linear audiovisual media services, just amended Act Nr. 308/2000 Z.z. and some other affecting laws. Finally, the work confronts the legal theory with praxis. This is done by a survey. The most important result of the survey showed that almost a half of the respondents think that product placement is not a commercial practice. This fact highlights the importance of ensuring that viewers are "clearly informed" about the existence of product placement and also the provision of consumer protection.

Previous issue date: 2014<br>A publicidade objetiva persuadir o consumidor sobre determinado produto ou serviço; o cinema tem por premissa o entretenimento, mas também informa e pode defender uma ideia ou conceito. A constante mudança do perfil dos consumidores, cada vez mais críticos e munidos de diferentes tecnologias que alteram suas práticas sociais – para a publicidade e o cinema – faz com que não só as mensagens persuasivas se adequem ao público e suas exigências, mas também a produção cinematográfica considere um novo potencial a ser trabalhado nas películas. O trabalho pretende investigar de que forma a comunicação persuasiva se insere no ambiente cinematográfico do país e de que maneira esses discursos dialogam. Para alcançar tal objetivo, serão pontuados diversos filmes no intuito de exemplificar os níveis e tipos de inserções existentes e já categorizadas. Anúncios publicitários serão também detalhados buscando localizar as etapas fundantes do roteiro. A pesquisa agrupa referenciais teóricos da publicidade, do cinema e das narrativas, passando por estratégias contemporâneas utilizadas na prática suasória e teorias da linguagem que inspiram o hibridismo entre as áreas. Como culminância, analisa-se um roteiro fílmico nacional, buscando aprofundar o conhecimento sobre as negociações de marca, bem como a interferência das inserções na trama.

Object of the search is the advertising phenomenon of the "product
placement", with reference to that it has been investigated legality’s limits,
as well as the relationship with the constitutionally protected liberty of
expression.
Particularly, it has been analyzed, in first place, the problem of the
relationship between the freedom of expression and the liberty of economic
initiative, with particular reference to the different circles of guardianship to
these prepared: or, larger, the one provided for the first from the 21th article
of Costitution, more circumscribed, instead, the one established in the 41th
article of Costitution, with reference to the second. This analysis has been
made with the purpose to investigate the coordination among such liberties
in those forms of communications that, for the proper peculiarities that
characterize them, can be qualified, according to the concrete circumstances
in which they are spread, so much forms of liberty of expression, how much
exercise of an activity of enterprise.
Under this last profile, it has been taken attention on the advertising activity
and, specially, on the non transparent publicities, or not immediately
perceivable as such from their receivers, and, therefore, in contrast with the
advertising trasparence’s principle: or, the so-called cases of hidden
publicity, what the editorial publicity, both "in narrow sense" both "in
general sense", as well as the phenomenon of the product placement (or
positioning of product), by now diffused in the commercial routine.
Therefore, it has been proceeded to a complete and exhaustive examination
of innovations introduced by the recent legislative discipline in subject of
“planned placement of marks and products” in the cinema works,
appraising, in the specific one, the effects, juridical and no juridical,
consequential from the introduction of a first form of regulation of the
phenomenon of the product placement and, particularly, from the express
provision about the legality of the use to such advertising, if it has realized
according to specific requirements or condition. In relationship to such
profile, it has been also investigate limits (sub kind of normative gaps) from
which the recently introduced discipline in subject would seem
characterized.
Finally, a further circle of investigation has concerned the possible
organization of the phenomenon under a negotiate aspect, as particular
contract of advertising, in which the object consists in an promotional
activity. Concerning this, the experience of foreign countries (above all the
Anglo-Saxon one) has been very important, because of the absence, in our
arrangement, of a general normative discipline about advertising contracts.
Consequently, I’ve investigated principal characteristics of similar
contracts, in first place the atypicalness, because of the lack, in Italy, of a
legislative discipline of this contract. Such investigation has also been
developed through a comparation between the positioning of product and
the other advertising contracts, among which, particularly, the sponsorship,
as well as the contracts for the advertising exploitation of the name and
other people's image, and, specially, the contract of testimonial and the
contract of endorsement.

The aims during this work with the purpose in mind were to utilize quantitative methods in the pursuit of fulfilling the objective of answering how certain placement strategies can affect individual consumer’s attitudes. As said, quantitative methods are used in combination with deductive reasoning, hence meaning that researchers of this paper make use of such programs like google docs questionnaire (for collecting data and creating surveys), SPSS statistics (for measuring the given data and assembling patterns/relationships).

All hypothesis except the third one was accepted through 2 produced positive results (H2, H3) while one produced negative results (H1). As a wrap-up summary of this, consumers who play games seem to have a more positive attitude towards brands utilizing screen and plot placement rather than script placement. Hence having a better attitude when it comes to product placement in games compared from the previous studies.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this Master's Diploma Thesis was to compare the use and perception of the product placement promotion technique in the Czech Republic and in Russia. It focuses mainly on the use of this technique in films and TV shows. First of all, the term product placement is defined, its history and measuring of its effectivity are described briefly, plus some examples of successful and unsuccessful product placement are presented. Subsequently, the legal framework regulating product placement in the Czech Republic and in Russia is compared, together with examples of the use of product placement and with available data from public opinion polls. The practical part presents the results of an online survey among 190 Czech and 190 Russian respondents / viewers. It appears that there are no great differences -- although Czechs watch TV more (and domestic TV shows), and Russians go to the cinema more. However, it does seem that Russian respondents tend to buy promoted products more often. Still, the survey only had a form of a tentative probe.

Full textAbstract:
The so-called family-viewing hour, the eight to nine o’clock hour of prime time, is one of the most watched hours of television by both adults and children. Advertisers, of course, favor shows that draw large audiences so their product presentations or commercials are witnessed by masses of people. Now, because of videocassette recorders and other similar control devices, viewers are eliminating commercials from their viewing experience1 and advertisers are clamoring for new ways to get their products into the mind of the consumer.2 To counteract this commercial avoidance by consumers, advertisers are embedding products within television programming thereby hindering the viewer’s ability to eliminate commercials or product promotions. The result is that products that are normally not viewed become part of the viewing experience. This study revealed that the family-viewing hour is laden with product placements that include a variety of different types of products and brands.

It analyzes Product Placement as the embedding of an advertising message within a fictional one, as the insertion of a trademarked object into the realisms of filmic space, and as the incorporation of corporate remakings of the world with film fictions. Product Placement images are therefore seen as a systematic surfacing of frameworks and discourses - legal, corporate, economic, and filmic - as both seamless and disruptive layers in film images and film making.<br>by Winnie Won Yin Wong.<br>S.M.

Full textAbstract:
Many companies use product families in order to offer product variants that appeal to different market segments while minimizing costs. Because the market demand is generally not uniform for all possible product variants, during the design phase a decision must be made as to which variants will be offered and how many. This thesis presents a new approach to solving this problem. The product is defined in terms of performance parameters. The market demand is captured in a preference model and applied to these parameters in order to represent the total potential market. The number and placement of the product variants are optimized in order to maximize percentage of the potential market that they span. This method is applied to a family of mountain bikes and a family of flow-regulating disks used in industrial applications. These examples show that usage of this method can result in a significant increase in potential market and a significant reduction in production costs.

Full textAbstract:
Immersive environments are part of a recent media innovation that allow users to become so involved within a computer-based simulated environment that they feel part of that virtual world (Grigorovici, 2003). A specific example is Second Life, which is an internet-based, three-dimensional immersive virtual world in which users create an online representation of themselves (an avatar) to play games and interact socially with thousands of people simultaneously. This study focuses on Second Life as an example of an immersive environment, as it is the largest adult freeform virtual world, home to 12 million avatars (IOWA State University, 2008). Already in Second Life there are more than 100 real-life brands from a range of industries, including automotive, professional services, and consumer goods and travel, among others (KZero, 2007; New Business Horizons, 2009).
Compared to traditional advertising media, this interactive media can immerse users in the environment. As a result of this interactivity, users can become more involved with a virtual environment, resulting in prolonged usage over weeks, months and even years. Also, it can facilitate presence. Despite these developments, little is known about the effectiveness of marketing messages in a virtual world context. Marketers are incorporating products into Second Life using a strategy of online product placement. This study, therefore, explores the perceived effectiveness of online product placement in Second Life in terms of effects on product/brand recall, purchase intentions and trial.
This research examines the association between individuals’ involvement with Second Life and online product placement effectiveness, as well as the relationship between individuals’ Second Life involvement and the effectiveness of online product placement. In addition, it investigates the association of immersion and product placement involvement. It also examines the impact of product placement involvement on online product placement effectiveness and the role of presence in affecting this relationship.
An exploratory study was conducted for this research using semi-structured in-depth interviews face-to-face, email-based and in-world. The sample comprised 24 active Second Life users. Results indicate that product placement effectiveness is not directly associated with Second Life involvement, but rather effectiveness is impacted through the effect of Second Life involvement on product placement involvement. A positive relationship was found between individuals’ product placement involvement and online product placement effectiveness. Findings also indicate that online product placement effectiveness is not directly associated with immersion. Rather, it appears that effectiveness is impacted through the effect of immersion on product placement involvement. Moreover, higher levels of presence appear to have a positive impact on the relationship between product placement involvement and product placement effectiveness. Finally, a model was developed from this qualitative study for future testing.
In terms of theoretical contributions, this study provides a new model for testing the effectiveness of product placement within immersive environments. From a methodological perspective, in-world interviews as a new research method were undertaken. In terms of a practical contribution, findings identified useful information for marketers and advertising agencies that aim to promote their products in immersive virtual environments like Second Life.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Advertising channels in today's marketplace are becoming more limited with the development of ad-free sources of entertainment. The phenomenon of product placements is therefore becoming one of the most important sources for advertising in media. Especially film productions have turned into a canvas for companies to display their brands upon. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the case of product placements in Hollywood blockbuster movies. In particular, brand recognition and audience's ac-ceptance of a brand’s presence in movies were examined. Method: A mixed method approach was applied in order to fulfill the purpose of this thesis and answer research questions. A questionnaire in the form of a handout and focus group discussions were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data from audiences consisting of international students. The questionnaires were handed out after the movies had been shown in a setting resembling that of a movie theater, meaning that respondents were not aware of the study beforehand and were therefore not biased. The focus group discussions gave us information needed in answering the second research question and getting more insights of the practice. Conclusions: Our research showed that product placements in movies lead to brand recognition, and audience’s acceptance of a brand’s presence is influenced by congru-ency of product placement in movies. This outcome resulted from the combination of four determining factors: movie genre, execution factors, appropriateness in the movie setting and brand characteristics.

Krieg, Roland. "Protagonist placement and pseudo protagonist placement : merging elements of sponsorship, product placement and endorsement in one powerful marketing communication tactic." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2012. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/59326/.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose – While considerable research has been dedicated to sponsorship, product placement and celebrity endorsement, hybrid forms that employ two or more of these approaches in a single execution have been largely neglected. A documentary that is woven around a single brand and employs elements of endorsement, product placement and television sponsorship to an extent unprecedented on German television is analysed here. Such "Protagonist Placement" had not previously been explored empirically. The purpose of this research was thus to identify, whether Protagonist Placement (PP) has a significant impact on intermediate consumer response. The second objective was to identify a potentially existent mediating role of Persuasion Knowledge (PK) on PP outcomes. The second unit of analysis – Pseudo Protagonist Placement (PPP) – is a broadcasting sponsorship with characteristics that suggest a strong association of the sponsoring brand with the sponsored programme. Again, the focus was laid on the identification of the impact of PPP on intermediate consumer response and the mediating role of PK. Design/methodology/approach – The research covered two studies – one on PP and the other on PPP. Each consists of a qualitative analysis of the programme itself and of theoretical thematic interview analysis using the NVivo qualitative research software. Each study further included an experiment employing a 2x2x2 factorial design. The experimental data was analysed using ANOVA and Chi-square. The scales used in the experiment were subjected to a panel of judges and a scale purification procedure in order to arrive at a common core of items to be used in the subsequent analysis. The approach was guided by the philosophical foundation of critical rationalism. Findings – It was possible to identify a positive impact of the chosen example of PP on intermediate consumer response in the form of a significant increase of unprompted and prompted brand awareness immediately after exposure. While PK did not adversely affect the observed impact of PP, it induced a special kind of 'Sleeper Effect' in the form of increased purchase intention after the delay period, without any noticeable suppression of advertising impact in the immediately-after condition. The researcher suggests the existence of a third route towards the Sleeper Effect, that adds increased association to the two already existent explanations, namely differential decay and disassociation. Similar results were found for PPP, which elicited a significant and favourable impact on brand awareness immediately after exposure and increased purchase intention after the delay period. Again, this increased persuasiveness over time was not caused by suppression of an immediate impact and, therefore, also indicated a third route towards the Sleeper Effect. Practical implications – The findings provide new empirical data concerning merged forms of indirect marketing and in particular such intense forms as PP and PPP. The studies offer new insights for both the academic researcher and the marketing practitioner. In particular, the way in which PK mediates the advertising outcomes and the way in which it triggers delayed persuasiveness are subjects that offer new insights for both marketer and researcher. Originality/value – Both studies offer new empirical evidence that broadens the research in the field of indirect marketing, and augments the concept of PK by offering an indication of its ability to elicit increased persuasiveness over time. Furthermore, this PK-induced Sleeper Effect demonstrates the existence of a third route towards increased persuasiveness after time delay. Both observations suggest the need for an augmentation of both the PK and Sleeper Effect theory.

With this new order, retailers have had to design warehouse solutions that fit the changing operational requirements of online retail. Over the last several years, Amazon.com has become a market leader, capturing almost 8% of all online retail sales in 2005. As Amazon grows in size and scope it is faced with unique challenges in warehouse system design and strategy. A significant portion of Amazon's total fulfillment cost is in the "picking" process which is where associates pick items to fulfill customer orders. Picking costs are directly influenced by the upstream stowing process which determines where to physically store Amazon's retail items. Currently, Amazon's fulfillment centers stow inventory according to "profiling" rules which direct inventory to various locations in the warehouse in order to optimize the space utilization of the facility. However, these profiling rules do not account for the impact of the stowing decisions on the cost to pick and replenish products downstream.<br>(cont.) While facility space reaches capacity during peak season, the fulfillment centers are well below their physical space capacity the remainder of the year. Due to the cyclical nature of customer demand at Amazon, the current profiling strategy of optimizing space utilization may be sub-optimal during the low demand periods when space capacity is not a constraint. This thesis will test this hypothesis by exploring alternative product placement strategies for Amazon's fulfillment centers.<br>by Linsey Rubenstein.<br>S.M.<br>M.B.A.

We also wanted to study the relation of those variables with age (children before and after entering into primary school) and gender. For it, 75 children were presented to a controlled experimental approach called “the theatre methodology”. Surprisingly, no differences among ages were verified in the detection of advertising as well as significant difference among the effect of advertisement between genders. Other important considerations for advertisers, parents and policy makers are presented in this report.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores fantasy brands and product placement in order to determine which method
serves to be more effective to a targeted audience. A fantasy brand exists only in a virtual or
fictional world. Reverse product placement is the process of transforming brands in a virtual
world into products or services in the physical world. Common fictional brands include Willy
Wonka Chocolate (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Duff Beer (The Simpsons), Dunder
Mifflin Paper (The Office), Bubba Gump Shrimp Company (Forrest Gump), Central Perk
(Friends), and Stay Puft Marshmallows (Ghost Busters). Previous research has suggested that
people who are fans of a television show or movie are more likely to purchase a fantasy brand
than those who are unfamiliar with the show or movie. Additionally previous research indicates
that some people believe product placement is invasive and results in negative brand image.
However, no previous research directly compared product placement to fantasy brands, and
which a consumer might prefer. This paper will explore the advantages and disadvantages of
both product placement and fantasy brands. The study conducted tested 175 subjects in a
moderated laboratory setting to discover which form of advertising was more likely to drive a
purchase interaction. This study goes on to provide evidence that consumers are more likely to
purchase a fantasy brand when there is a high level of “fandom”. However, if they have a low
level of “fandom” they are more likely to purchase the item in the form of product placement.
This paper contributes to the idea of branding, experiential consumption, and advertising in an
overcrowded era.

Full textAbstract:
Product placements are gaining more importance in corporate marketing communication budgets and marketers need to understand the effectiveness of these placements to justify investments into them. Three studies were conducted to study the effectiveness of product placements in movies. Essay one studied the economic worth of product placements on the long term profitability of the firm through an event study. Analysis of 467 placements of movies released during 1968-2007 shows that product placements generate a mean cumulative abnormal return of 0.21% during the (-1, +2) event window. Hierarchical linear modeling of the abnormal returns in cross-sectional analysis indicates that placement duration positively impacts the abnormal returns. Placement blatancy was found to negatively affect placements' worth. We did not find any support for the effect of critical reviews or presence of a star director on the worth of product placements. Crime and comedy genres were found to positively affect abnormal returns of placements. Additional MANCOVA analysis, using different event windows as the dependent variable, suggests that a period of two weeks might be required after a movie's release for the information about placement execution factors to be incorporated by the market in its evaluation of the firm. In essay two we study the effectiveness of product placement from a memory perspective by means of a longitudinal study, using a student subject panel. Subjects were exposed to a full- length movie and recognition was tracked at weekly intervals for a period of four weeks. Results of a dynamic panel analysis using generalized estimating equations indicate that audience recognition for a movie placement significantly diminishes one to two weeks after exposure to the movie. In addition, recognition of placements is enhanced by audiences' attitude toward product placements. Recognition is further affected by placement execution factors. Specifically, we found that audio placements and placements of longer duration positively affect placement recognition. Plot connectivity and character association did not significantly impact recognition over time. Essay three examines the impact of brand-character association on consumer attitude toward the placed brand. A 2x2 within subjects experiment, using a full-length movie as a stimulus, was conducted on a panel of student subjects to assess the interaction effect of character-brand valence on consumer attitude. Results support a significant interaction between character and brand valence. Analyses also indicate that congruency between character and brand valence enhances affective measures toward the placed brand, supporting the congruency theory and Meaning Transfer Model. Additionally, we found that brand familiarity fully mediates the character-valence interaction. Limitations and Implications of the studies were also discussed.
