Upcoming Award Show Opportunities
It?s becoming an increasingly celebrity driven market – celebrities have the power and money to get the best of everything. If celebrities are seen with your product, it is a powerful implied endorsement. In the backstage area of most celebrity events there is a ‘product introduction area’ where each celebrity is personally introduced to new and exciting brands. Within 24 hours of the event, photos are made available to media world-wide and can then be incorporated into your product website or added to a news release to show which celebrities are utilizing the product. In addition, these events are regularly featured on Entertainment Tonight, E!, Entertainment, CNN, Access Hollywood, Women?s Wear Daily, People, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and many more.

Game Product Placement – The New Trend For those brands looking to target that elusive 15 – 34 Male Demo – you’ve got move towards integrating your product with video games. Not just product placement within the game, but cross-promotion and contests relating to release of new games. According to the study conducted earlier this year:
Recall of In-Game Ads Can Enhance Purchasing Decisions Often, participants who recalled seeing a specific brand advertised in-game were much more likely to express an interest in buying the associated product than were participants who did not recall seeing the brand. Gamers Generally Perceive In-Game Advertising Positively Of the male gamers who participated in the study, about 40 percent said that in-game ads made a game more appealing, and made them more inclined to buy the advertised product.
