Branded Entertainment Marketing is a marketing discipline that blends brand messages with entertainment to engage consumers, build brand awareness and create positive brand associations to drive consumer sales. Branded entertainment aims to capture the consumer’s attention and elevate a brand’s image by associating it with popular personalities, media brands, organizations or events, such as TV characters, news outlets, sports teams, among others.

Usually related to Branded Entertainment but not the same, Product Placement is a Marketing tactic increasingly used by marketers as part of multimedia campaigns in which the objective is to place or integrate brand names, logos or specific products within the non-ad content of various media. The goal of advertisers utilizing product placement is to prominently place or creatively integrate brands or products into particular story lines or scenes to promote brand awareness, favorable brand attitudes and purchase intention.

In fact, Mexico and Brazil now are among the top 5 global Branded Entertainment Markets.

Product placement is a smaller, but faster-growing segment with global revenues increasing 13.6% in 2014 to US$10.58 billion, as the US, Brazil and Mexico combined to account for more than three-quarters of the total. Brands are increasingly forming dedicated teams within their corporate structures to manage branded entertainment opportunities by partnering directly with content providers on various aspects of product integrations. Brands are also focusing more placements in media content favored by younger audiences, with digital media integrations producing the highest growth of the eight platforms tracked by PQ Media, rising 35.8% in 2014, followed by the growing popularity of placements in recorded music and related music videos of leading pop artists, driving 15.9% growth.

PQ Media projects global branded entertainment revenues to grow 6.8% in 2015 and generate an 8.1% CAGR in the 2015-19 period to US$108.04 billion.

“Leading brand marketers are seeking improved methods to engage younger audiences used to ad-skipping and on-demand media usage, and branded entertainment provides omnichannel possibilities to more effectively engage post-boomers, particularly Millennials and iGens,” said Patrick Quinn, CEO & CCO, PQ Media.
