Hollywood Sells: How Brands can get Results with Celebrities and Placements

Within the realms of tv and film production, product placement and celebrity endorsement can be a creative and innovative way to create strong ad campaigns that connect with your audience.
Product placement 'allows brands to show the now, in the modern day, it allows them to show their historical authenticity when they're shown in period pieces and it even allows a brand to show what they might look like in the future when we have something that's a little more sci-fi'.
When used in the right way, this type of campaign can support your brand awareness strategy, elevating your brand reputation and having longevity for your investment.
In this episode of Digital Marketing Answered™, CEO and Founder of Innovation Visual, Tim Butler, is joined by the CEO and Founder of Hollywood Branded, Stacy Jones to discuss key topics including:
- Why you need to think about how your brand can be mutually beneficial to tv and film production or celebrity
- How a business of any size can create opportunities within this space

Such an interesting podcast, especially around product placement, as connecting with the audience is always difficult and changes so rapidly. Great ideas, thank you.
