Errores históricos del Product Placement: lo que Stranger Things Evitó con maestría y te enseña para que lo apliques en todo contenido

(Por Maqueda-Maurizio) En 'Stranger Things', (como en Top Gun, por ejemplo) los personajes nunca describen productos.

(Por Otero, Maurizio, con la colaboración de Maqueda) La conexión Messi-Adidas (contrato vitalicio reportado en USD $200 millones) crea halo effect implícito para Stanley.
