DM Eric if you would like to participate in the VIP dinner. TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: How Fortnite & Audi Capitalized On A Marvel Blockbuster Movie [00:50] Avengers had the largest opening box office ever. [01:30] Fortnite used native advertising for Avengers. [02:21] Audi has had their cars in almost every Marvel film. [02:40] In Endgame, an Audi is featured prominently. [03:30] Product placement and branding is just another smart way to cut a deal. [03:45] Beats by Dre got every celebrity to wear their product. [03:58] Converse paid Will Smith to wear their sneakers in “I Am Legend”. [04:40] People want to be like their heroes, so native advertising makes sense. [06:10] If Captain America had a Nike logo on his shield, people would want to buy Nike products. [06:20] That’s it for today!
