What You Should Learn from Media Investment and Content Strategies (that Work) for Use in 2024: What Big Brands Are Doing

(By Marcelo Maurizio) In the captivating realm of "product placement," some brands shine brightly, becoming undisputed queens of the screen. Who leads this game of advertising subtlety? Discover it with us! We share super tips for "Product Placement" (or product integration or placement) that dominates screens. This strategy works versus a very direct action with one or two influencers or on a TV show (non-traditional actions), as the product is truly placed in the script and the story. This can be done correctly in all influencer campaigns but must be scheduled, scripted, with strategy, production, and branding.

Micro-Summary: Some specific products stand out as true protagonists in "product placement."

Key Tips:

What always happens, and you haven't noticed for years, in 2024 hire a strategist to define your brand and strategy plan. Then generate cross-media and phygital branding actions, hire a comprehensive Head of Culture agency, and then run campaigns with content placements in content.

 

In other words, place your products in ludic games, in your neighborhood square, in your city's club, in the local TV program, on a radio program for your target, in the natural lives of many influencers (don't use one, use many, and script and produce the "natural" placement of content in their lives. If it's noticeable and is a "spot," it only benefits the influencer; if many influencers use your product or service and show it naturally, it benefits you - the brand).

(Por una cocreación junto Ristretto, con Taylor-Molina-Alonso-Maurizio) Imagine que su cerebro tiene un interruptor tribal. Cuando se activa, su córtex prefrontal —sede del razonamiento— se apaga, y la amígdala —centro del miedo— toma el control. Este mecanismo, descrito por el neurocientífico Marco Iacoboni en "Mirroring People", es el arma secreta del populismo del siglo XXI.

Impacto mundial: ¿por qué acciones y oro marcan máximos históricos en un mundo que teme el alza de tasas? (cuando las malas noticias… son buenas)

(Por Taylor desde Silicon Beach) Los máximos históricos simultáneos de renta variable y oro no reflejan optimismo económico; al contrario: celebran el temor. En los mercados modernos, la probabilidad de recortes de tipos por parte de la Reserva Federal y otros bancos centrales convierte las noticias macroeconómicas negativas en catalizadores alcistas. Paradójicamente hay mucho de positivo en todo esto, y no.

Asesinan a Charlie Kirk, aliado de Trump, en tiroteo durante evento en universidad de Utah: reacciones y claves del crimen
