The X Factor signs second product placement deal with Samsung
Samsung products will again be featured in The X Factor, as part of a partnership which includes paid-for-placement.
ITV, FremantleMedia UK, Syco Entertainment and Samsung today announced the renewal of the deal, which will see mobile phones, tablets and cameras from the brand appear throughout The X Factor; as well as within bespoke online video diaries featured on The X Factor website, The X Factor app and the X Factor YouTube site.
Avikar Jolly, head of brand and communications for Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland, said the brand was ‘excited’ to be carrying on the placement: “Last year marked the first product placement agreement for The X Factor, it was great to be part of such a landmark media event that delivered a noticeable increase in brand awareness and preference for the products that featured, proving it is the ideal platform for us to talk to our customers about our industry-leading devices and the Samsung brand.”
As an off-air licensing partner, Samsung will have access to tickets and have ATL rights for digital, in-store, point of sale, experiential and print executions.
The partnership was negotiated by Starcom’s content division Liquid Thread on behalf of Samsung.
