Abstract(s)

This study represents a field experiment on the effectiveness of product placement in TV Shows. The author investigates whether product placement enhances brand awareness, positive attitude change and increased purchase intention. If this is found to be true, in which way should the product be presented to influence the consumer in the most desirable way? The results in this study show that the hypothesis is true and it is key for marketers to pick the right type of product placement for their brand to increase either brand awareness, positive attitude change and/or increased purchase intention. The results further show that marketers need to examine the target audience of a TV show to determine the right mixture of modality for the product placement. The mixture can consist of prominent, subtle, plot-connected, purely audio or visual or both audio-visual product placements and has to take into consideration multiple psychological processes which are discussed in this study.
