Branded Entertainment Expert Urges Brands to Think Bigger
In an interview with MEEDIA, Sandra Freisinger-Heinl, CEO of Brandplace and Chairwoman of the BCMA, discusses the evolution of branded entertainment and product placement. She emphasizes that brands must move beyond standalone placements and integrate entertainment into a broader ecosystem of community building, events, and digital activations. Freisinger-Heinl highlights the importance of real-life touchpoints and community experiences, citing examples such as Vodafone's placement in 'Maxton Hall' and an ATU campaign with influencer Knossi. She also introduces 'micro dramas' as an emerging format in Germany, which are short vertical video series with cliffhangers that can be produced with low six-figure budgets. She argues that branded entertainment offers long-term value that should not be compared directly to performance marketing.
