Advertisement in movies,television shows and even sports- Covert Advertisement


Hello to all you lovely people.

Well i m sure all of you might be love watching movies, television shows and sport match....i too love them so,Today finally, while watching few movies and some television shows, I notice various familiar brands such as mountain dew,McD,Nokia,Levi,TIME coaching class, KentRO on cricket talk show.... and i got one topic to share with you. 

Which is known as Covert advertising?

It’s really a unique way of getting attention of your target audience easily because they are available at the right place and engage in that activity of watching the movie, or their favorite   television show, or their favorite match between two teams.

This kind of advertising is proved to be impactful in case of liking of that particular movie, television shows and even sport match. At the same there are some negative results also if an advertiser have used particular movie to advertise the brand or product and if that movie went flop then because of less visibility that activity will also fail, some time because of  perception of consumer they find wrong association  between a particular brand and a television show because they failed to associate them self with that advertisement. 

For example- Assume that you are a 20 year old college going student and your favourate channel include MTv, Vh1,channel V  Etc...  if advertisement related to institute and various thing such latest technology might interest you but advertisement related to financial services might not.
