industry standards. Negotiating
placements best handled by
someone with industry
experience.

Placement is exchanged
for promotional support
Most common. Also known as in-
kind placement. Requires a direct
relationship with filmmakers.
Promotional support
strengthens the perceived
connection between the brand
and the film
The more projects placed, the
greater likelihood of securing
‘hero’ placements.
Types
Works best for commonly used
products such as electronics,
automobiles and beverages
Movie promotional
departments not always able
to impact placement
Paid placements usually allow
for activation and promotion of
the placement
