2014

Advergames are branded video games that blur the line between entertainment and advertising. Advergames are gaining momentum among advertisers and advertising agencies fueled by their capability to engage teenagers and young adults with branded communications.

The proposed model was empirically tested using a sample of 304 college students. Major findings suggest that attitudes toward advergam…

To this end, the resources in the Web of Science Citation Index wer…

Product placement in video games: The effect of brand familiarity and repetition on consumers´ memory

2017

Product placement in video games is gaining momentum as a means to target audiences in an indirect and engaging way.

Results suggest that consumers recall better familiar than unfamiliar brands placed in the video game and repetition increases recall for familiar brands. Results also suggest an interaction effect of repetition on brand recognition for unfamiliar brands but not for familiar brands. Managerial implications, limitations, and future research…

Esta tesis tiene como objetivo principal aportar nuevo conocimiento a la ef…

At the Roots of Product Placement: The Mere Exposure Effect

2013

The present study aims to analyze the effect of product placement on attitude change and takes into consideration psychological models of the mere exposure effect. A sample of high school students watched an excerpt from two widely-distributed movies in which several products were shown by using the technique known as product placement. The results indicate that students who saw the commercial brand liked the products more than those who didn’t see it. This effect, in line with the literature on the product placement effect, seems to be independent from the recognition of the brand in the movie excerpt. This study also shows that, in the high involvement condition, one exposure is enough to…

Motivated by earlier studies, we investigate the cross-national measurement invariance of scales to measure four research constructs related to the product placement domain (attitude toward credibility of advertising, attitude toward advertising-in-general, attitude toward …
