Product Placement: Youve seen it in movies, you see it on every reality show
but where else? Become aware of it, and youll start to notice it everywhere. Take cell phones for example. If you really tune in and pay attention, youll notice that paparazzi photos now serve as daily advertisements for Blackberry or that music videos serve as an easy platform for singers like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera to flaunt the latest smart phone.
Check out the cluster below for some of the innovative ways in which products are now getting buzz; whether intentional or not on the advertisers part, and consciously or unconsciously taken in by you, the fact remains that youre being exposed to stuff all day, every day as long as youre checking out the media.
