Product Placement Research: Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going?
Abstract:
Product placement, or the integration of branded information in media content, has been extensively studied in the past few decades and is regarded as a hot topic which gets hotter (Taylor 2011). Previous research has made significant contribution to the field while there are still a few less explored areas. In this research seminar, we will focus on the latest themes include the role of humour in product placement, the effect of prior disclosure of commercial initiatives, the short- and long-term memory of co-appearing brands and the perceptions of domestic and foreign brand placements. The results have significant theoretical and practical implications for the field, which will be discussed together with future research avenues
