Topic: Exposure (Perception)

Learning Objective:
To make students able to understand the concept of exposure and product placement.

Learning Outcome:
After attempting this activity, students will be able to identify different media where brands/products can be placed to gain maximum exposure.

Background:
Media (TV, the Internet, magazines, billboards) exposure is a great concern for marketers due to the increasing rate of consumers’ ad avoidance. In response to the growing tendency of consumers to avoid ads, marketers are increasingly seeking to gain exposure. One of the many ways to gain exposure is by placing the brands within entertainment media such as in movies, seasons, dramas, and TV programs, in exchange for payment or any other consideration. Such brand placement provides marketers with the exposure that consumers do not try to avoid as the placement is well integrated with the scene. It shows when and how to use the brand together with enhancing its image. The product/brand manager or brand placement agent meets with the scriptwriter and approves the script with optimal placement of brand within the scene. One example of best brand/product placement is when the Cornetto by Wall’s ice-cream was featured in Karachi Se Lahore movie in most of its scenes and even in a song. In different occasions in the movies, the lead character is seen eating ice-cream, perfectly blended in the scene.
