RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Brand Placement Prominence: Good for Memory! Bad for Attitudes? JF Journal of Advertising Research JO J Advert Res FD WARC SP 151 OP 153 DO 10.2501/S0021849909090199 VO 49 IS 2 A1 Eva van Reijmersdal YR 2009 UL http://www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com/content/49/2/151.abstract AB This article presents two laws about the effects of brand placement on audience reactions. Brand placement is the compensated inclusion of brands or brand identifiers within media programming. The first law states that brand placement prominence has a positive effect on brand memory. This effect has been found for placements in audiovisual media. However, placement prominence has a negative effect on brand attitude under specific circumstances. The second law states that brand placement can affect attitudes and behavior without memory of the placement. This means that brand placement can have implicit effects. Implications of these brand placement laws are discussed.
