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.

Since the introduction of the internet, to go on a shopping spree doesn’t require more than a computer or a smartphone. Channels of communication for companies to reach out to consumers has expanded, and personalized marketing is a fact. For physical retailers, product placement and merchandising in the department store is one way to compete against e-commerce and personalized marketing. The purpose of this study was to examine how department stores works with product placement and other means to reduce consumers buying decisions with regard to modern e-commerce and personalized marketing. With qualitative, semi-structured interviews. These where analyzed using theories built with behavioral patterns of the individual and of theories about product placement. The results showed that product placement´s main role is to keep customers in the store longer and attract customers to more purchasing decisions. E-commerce is considered according to the department stores to not pose any threat. To create added value for customers in department stores are just as important as product placement, which is the largest difference between e-commerce and department stores.

Background: To align with the new trend of using social media in the marketing mix, product placement has been adapted to social media platforms as one strategy to create attention. Especially on Instagram, product placements have gained popularity among companies. While scholars have focused on measuring the effectiveness of the strategy, suggesting that credibility is one component necessary for success, a gap in the research is illuminated when focusing on what makes a product placement on Instagram credible. Previous studies regarding credibility and its relation to traditional media have concluded that there are some factors essential in consumers’ credibility evaluation process. Since social media differs from traditional media, there was a need to investigate the applicability of credibility to the social media platform Instagram. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis was to examine key factors of product placement on Instagram that influence credibility. Method: To meet the purpose of this thesis a study with a mixed method research design was conducted. The qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews with the intention to discover how consumers evaluate credibility. The scales and items developed from the findings of the qualitative study were tested using a questionnaire to identify which factors that have the most influence on consumers’ credibility assessment. Conclusions: The overall findings indicate that consumers evaluate credibility based upon source, message and receiver characteristics. The empirical evidence suggests that the Expertise of influencer, Professionalism of picture, Trustworthiness of influencer, Connection to influencer and Causes of irritation are the factors that have the most influence on consumers’ credibility assessment of product placement on Instagram. The findings further implies that it is not only the factor itself that influence, credibility can additionally be transferred from one factor to another.

Thesis (M.M. (Strategic Marketing))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, Graduate School of Business Administration, 2014. / The world as we know it is rapidly transforming into what is frequently referred to by many scholars as the era of „postmodernism‟. The postmodern consumer is more flexible, instinctive, more individualistic in preference and needs, and builds an identity through the products he/she consumes. Postmodern consumers are exposed to increased levels of advertising clutter and are becoming difficult to reach via traditional media. As a result, marketers have found alternative methods to get their message across and have looked at innovative ways to engage postmodern consumers and have turned their attention towards non-conventional advertising practices such as product placement within mass media entertainment. Reality television has emerged as a prominent genre in South Africa among young adults (Generation Y) and the incidence of product placements within these shows has grown substantially over the past few years. With marketing spend allocated to traditional television advertising (when marketing to Generation Y), the research aims to explore if traditional television advertising is effective compared to product placement in reality television in creating brand awareness and brand identity. It also aims to identify if product placement in reality television can be integrated as an element in IMC strategies.

Due to ineffectiveness of traditional advertising, the notion of "product placement" quickly reinforced to be a new forming trend in recent years. Companies incorporate their products into movie films or television media. Those placements attempt to generate positive attitudes of target audiences for the brand. Unfortunately, this strategic intent does not always work. Using the magazine as the medium, this research investigates how to optimize the effects of placement characteristics and advertising position. Product placement is presented in a fictitious article about the introduction to new Canon digital camera. An experiment of 2 (placement characteristics: prominent placement vs. subtle placement) ¡Ñ 4 (advertising position¡Gbefore the article vs. next to the article vs. after the article vs. no advertisement) factorial design is conducted. Eight different scenarios are established through fictitious a product placement, and eight experimental conditions are developed. The advertising effectiveness is measured by purchase intention and attitudes toward the brand. The results suggest that a subtle placement is more effective than a prominent placement. More importantly, an interaction of placement characteristics and advertising position is observed. The results indicate that product placement is most likely to backfire when a brand advertisement is shown next to the placement article. According to these findings, marketers should consider the ¡§placement characteristics¡¨ of their brands before choosing an appropriate advertisement position appearing in the product placement.

The aim of this thesis is to describe marketing communication and product placement in the theoretical part, consequently analyze examples of product placement from the practice and last but not least also analyze the perception and examples of product placement based on the survey research. Therefore the thesis is divided into three main parts. The first, theoretical part, describes the marketing mix, concept of communication, communication mix, new forms of communication, integrated marketing communication, history of product placement, legal framework in the Czech Republic and the forms of product placement. The practical part then focuses on concrete examples of product placement in selected industries (namely TV shows and series, music videos, publishing and novels and computer games) followed by real offers of product placement in the Czech market -- concretely offerings within TV shows of Czech TV channels of Česká televize, Nova and Prima. The third part of the thesis analyses perception of product placement and examples of good and bad product placement based on personal questionnaires. In conclusion, there is an evaluation of the presented information and overview of the survey findings.

This thesis deals with the functioning of product placement in Czech television and film production. The theoretical part describes its role in marketing communication, its specifics and characteristics. Also, these characteristics are illustrated in specific examples. The practical part deals with the current situation in the country. It examines the attitudes and experiences of professionals implementing product placement and production of film and television works. It discusses the process of implementation of product placement. It also describes how the correct product placement should look like, which is then illustrated by specific examples.

In recent years, the product placement industry has seen a significant boom. The growth of product placement continues as media seeks funding and branded products vie for increased audience attention. Because of the increased product placement, there are many studies that examine the attitudes towards product placement, the experiences and interpretations of brands post-product placement, the effects of product placement, and memory of product placement. However, while product placement is a popular trend, there are occasions when branded products are altered in movies and television (this thesis refers to the altered products as “brand-modified products”). Little, if any, research has been done on the effects, perceptions, or reactions toward brand-modified products. The brand modifications are made for various reasons, including branded product's lack of desired affiliation with the message of the media and/or casting a product in defamatory light. This study, through a test of unaided recall and aided recognition of four brand-modified products, demonstrates the immediate associations that were made between brand-modified products and authentic products when the four brand-modified products made appearances in various movie clips. The results of a survey of 211 undergraduate students' unaided recall and aided recognition of brand-modified products are reported in this study. It is demonstrated that the participants recalled and recognized authentic brands rather than the actual brand-modified products that appeared in the shown movie clips. Schema theory suggests that the brand-modified products were assimilated into preexisting knowledge structures, and that the recall and recognition of the products was due to prior exposure of the authentic brands. In terms of brand-modifications, this study demonstrates that associations are made to authentic products more often than to the brand-modified products that appeared in the movies.
