What Can Entertainment Creators Monetize
Almost everything in a scene
Storyline Integration
Seamless brand integration into the entertainment IP that’s designed specifically for a brand. … Storyline integration is the weaving of a brand into the existing story line of film, TV, streaming, video game, music video or social influencer production.
Brand is Essential to the Plot
Each good story has an arc, where you introduce characters or scenarios, followed by a conflict or problem, which then leads to a resolution. Branded storylines involve a plot that develops throughout the narrative, in order to make the brand itself feel more emotionally connected to the situation.
Contextual Relevance
Create an emotional connection that you can’t get with traditional marketing or advertising media.
Brand Used by Principal Cast
Apparel worn by leading characters, electronic devices held by lead roles, beverages consumed at a cafe, autos driven during a chase scene…the list is endless.
If your principal cast uses a recognizable brand in a scene(s) it can have a monetary value. This is slightly different than storyline integration because it may not be relevant to the overall plot.
Brand Used by Secondary Cast
Similar to principal cast. If your secondary cast (aside from extras) wears, holds, consumes, visits, or uses a recognizable product, logo or brand this can have monetary value.
This is slightly different than storyline integration because it may not be relevant to the overall plot.
Foreground Placement of Brand
Branded foreground objects in a scene can also have monetary value.
These objects, within the composition of the shot, are often closest to the camera and in focus. Unlike objects further from the camera that may be obstructed by other things in the scene.
Background Placement of Brand
Branded background objects in a scene can have monetary value similar to foreground objects.
These objects, within the composition of the shot, are often further from the camera but still in focus. These tend to be larger objects.
Visual Integration
Brand name or product is visible, though often not the focus, and often integrates seamlessly into the context of a scene. These integrations allow set designers and art directors to stage every scene with realistic products as opposed to fake, generic products.
Audio Integration
These integrations allow screenwriters the ability to bring realism into character dialogue. Brand or product name is mentioned though often not the impetus, and should integrate seamlessly into the context of a scene.
Mention of Brand by Principal Cast
Character dialogue can also hold monetary value when a company name, product name, brand name, or product description is integrated into the conversation of your primary characters.
While this is similar to ‘Storyline Integration’ the distinction is whether the mention of this brand is integral to the plot of the story.
Mention of Brand by Secondary Cast
Similar to mentions by principal cast, character dialogue of secondary characters can also hold monetary value when a company name, product name, brand name, or product description is integrated into the conversation.
While this is similar to ‘Storyline Integration’ the distinction is whether the mention of this brand is integral to the plot of the story.
Mention of brand by Narrator
Similar to mentions by principal or secondary cast, narrator dialogue can also hold monetary value when a company name, product name, brand name, or product description is integrated into the conversation.
While this is similar to ‘Storyline Integration’ the distinction is whether the mention of this brand is integral to the plot of the story.
Posters, billboards, or other branded artwork
Another way to integrate branded messaging into a scene is by showcasing material provided by the advertiser in a scene.
In modern society, numerous types of branded signage occurs. eg/ outdoor billboards in Times Square, posters in windows of shops, neon beer signs in bars, table tent displays in restaurants,… the list is endless.
Use these naturally occurring advertisements as a source of revenue for your scene.
"Sponsored by..."
Often these are intro screens and can include supplemental marketing sponsorship funding.
Embedded Commercials
Similar to linear or streaming commercials, embedded commercials can occupy either a full screen takeover for set period of time or…a commercial that plays in the scene while other action takes place.
One of the primary differences compared to traditional commercials, is this is embedded into the content and lasts the lifetime of the video. Which means it gets viewed more overtime versus a fleeting :30 seconds.
Signage
Similar to visual integration of a product or logo, signage integration allows naturally occurring posters, billboards or other artwork to be sold. In addition, intro clips and embedded videos can be sold.
