In shows that are considered “emotionally engaging” by their viewers, those viewers are 43 percent more likely to recognize products placed by advertisers either in in ads aired during the shows or in product integration within the show.
Brand recognition also increases 29 percent for product placements during “highly enjoyable” programs, according to new research in Nielsen’s Consumer Insight (via Brandweek). Recognition for commercial spots during highly enjoyable programs increased 21 percent, and increased 5 percent for the combination of a product placement and a commercial spot.
The research also found that:
Positive brand feelings during a highly enjoyable show increased by 85 percent for product placements, 75 percent for commercial spots and 68 percent for a combination of the two.
Purchase intent during highly enjoyable programs increased 145 percent for product placements, 120 percent for commercial spots and 97 percent for the two combined.
About the study: Approximately 10,000 individuals were questioned about their engagement with 50 programs and 200 consumer brands, around topics such as overall program enjoyment, entertainment value, believability, information value, emotional resonance and more.
