Qualitative Research: Qualitative Research RESEARCH & INSIGHT Work Research: Expert Interviews Industry Experts: media practitioners, psychologists, neuroscientists. 2. SPA Future Thinking: The consumer view January 2011 8 groups , demographic cross-section Test footage; mix of broadcast and digitally inserted brands UK/US
Examples recalled…: Examples recalled… RESEARCH & INSIGHT The expert view…
The key findings - Experts: RESEARCH & INSIGHT There are 4 main reasons why Product Placement works differently to traditional marketing communications: The ‘ Para-social’ relationship with TV allows brands to use characters to reinforce existing preconceptions, or to instigate new ones 2. Product Placement helps normalise brands by showing them into everyday situations 3. Product Placement works on an implicit level 4. Product Placement doesn’t prime consumers in the same way as traditional advertising The key findings - Experts
Examples recalled…: Examples recalled… RESEARCH & INSIGHT Viewers’ perspective…
The key findings - Viewers: RESEARCH & INSIGHT Product Placement is not a new concept for viewers Audiences welcome Product Placement because it has the potential to build credibility of content 3. Viewers recognise that Product Placement can work for both the viewer and the brand Overall, Product Placement is likely to have long term benefits for a brand Viewers see Drama and Soaps as being the most natural fit for Product Placement but each programme genre brings a different Viewer Benefit The key findings - Viewers
What product placement can deliver: RESEARCH & INSIGHT What product placement can deliver Overall feeling that Product Placement has the potential to deliver benefits to both brand and viewer that are not possible through other ‘marcomms’ What it could deliver for the viewer Validate Consumer Relationships with Brands / Products Unique ability to increase a viewer enjoyment by adding realism Less obtrusive than other forms of advertising What it could deliver for the brand Allow brands to engage with rejecters of trad advertising Increase sense of aspiration around a brand Build familiarity with the brand or product
Sensitivity to Product Placement: Sensitivity to Product Placement RESEARCH & INSIGHT Product Placement is predominantly welcomed with the only caveat being the overt “sell” that undermines the viewing experience. … PP must not PP must… Add realism to a show Be sensitive Be credible i.e plausible Be too overt or intrusive Be seen to drive content
Sensitive application critical for optimum results: Sensitive application critical for optimum results Viewers preference for PP is to be as natural as possible to ensure credibility of both programme & brand Less Appeal Higher engagement/appeal Advertising Messages Brands as background presence Verbal Usage (physical) Brands Clearly within scenes Source: Sky Media Research/SPA (Fieldwork November 2010)

Complimentary to ’Prop’ Placement: Complimentary to ’Prop’ Placement ‘Prop’ a producer cost saver particularly for high value/must-have items e.g. cars, furniture, clothing, computers. Adds necessary realism in Film and Drama Provided gratis and no commercial contract “Undue Prominence” and “Editorial Justification” Rules also apply Route for HESS, Alcohols, Children’s Programmes and access to the BBC Unlikely any prominent branding long term. If prominent likely a one-off. No activation or licensing-led sales promotion off screen When/where/how often tbc
PowerPoint Presentation: Prop Rules Typical Example
Clever Application of PP under UK Regs: Clever Application of PP under UK Regs Select programmes with longer ‘tail’ for longevity, scale and value Lateral thought on ‘Product’: Clothing? Music? People? Brand Characters ? Rotation of Brand Assets to boost frequency and prominence Licensed integrated off screen support campaigns Different Applications by genre : Sit Coms? Docs? Studio Formats? Reality? Sport?
Placement Approach by Programme Genre: Placement Approach by Programme Genre
Drama and ‘soaps’: RESEARCH & INSIGHT Drama and ‘soaps’ Viewer benefit Enhances plot and character credibility Natural usage are appropriate creative routes to support plot Rule 1 In-scene product/logo creates a more realistic environment Rule 2 May need to work harder due to viewers engagement with the content Rule 3
‘Reality’ TV: RESEARCH & INSIGHT ‘Reality’ TV Viewer benefit Can support the sense of realism Extra care in ‘staging’ to avoid undermining credibility Rule 1 Avoid dialogue references Rule 2 Product needs to behave as it might in real life Rule 3
Scripted Comedy: Scripted Comedy Viewer benefit In sitcoms can be used to enhance situation credibility Natural usage will support plot and characters Rule 1 Limited opportunity for higher visibility placements (credibility/brand ridicule) Avoid single character links for best value. Background but continuous placements more appropriate Rule 2 Rule 3
Lifestyle Factual: RESEARCH & INSIGHT Lifestyle Factual Viewer benefit High audience receptivity to product ‘education’ Natural usage by experts vital Rule 1 Must NOT be seen to be endorsing products Rule 2 Inherent credibility means placements can be more subtle Rule 3
Researching the effectiveness…: RESEARCH & INSIGHT Researching the effectiveness… We know that Product Placement works on an implicit level but how do we measure it? IMPLICIT RESPONSE TEST Shows strength of intuitive associations with a brand by measuring speed of response to key brand metrics and thus the full impact of PP on brand affinity and other key measures HOW IT WORKS Task involves respondents seeing brands paired with specific concepts and asking if they agree or disagree with the match A quick response identifies a strong implicit association This IR test will be incorporated into the standard pre and post effectiveness surveys
