Line 5:
Compare [[Commercial Switcheroo]], where you lead in with a fake commercial then bring in the real one, and [[Product Switcheroo Ad]], where you open with one product then bring in the actual product later to show up the first one.
{{examples}}
* As mentioned above, kids' meals often come with toys themed after a big-name intellectual property. The fast food joint inevitably makes sure everybody in the country knows. Not every chain engages in these shenanigans, though.
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
* The American furniture chain Furniture Row has multiple brands which allows a customer to shop their four different brands in the same building in different stores, saving advertising and rent money aplenty. It also makes it very easy to dump a fad furniture trend without closing an entire store (they started out as a waterbed retailer and when that went belly up, they just dumped it and moved on to other brands).
* In 1985, there was an Italian TV ad where a man drives home a luxury car, checks the hour on a luxury watch, pulls the dress while casually showing the tag (with the name of the stylist), and then enter his home, where a party is going on. It's a spot for Barilla, a brand of pasta (as in spaghetti, rigatoni, etc.).
* In the 2010 NBA playoffs, you saw this one a lot—there were ads for the new ''[[Prince of Persia: The
** [[ESPN]] absolutely loves this trope, really. ''[[Sports Center]]'' tends to be littered with [[Enforced Plug]]s for pretty much every movie Disney (who owns 80% of the network) wants to hype up, and even some non-Disney ones.
** Since obviously its players are right within its demographics, ESPN's coverage of the Little League World Series is always peppered with [[Disney Channel]] cross-promotion nowadays... as in having acts related to Disney Channel's Flavor of the Month perform a [[Title Theme Tune]] and appear in [[Eyecatches]], advertisements, etc. In recent years, these have included the [[Jonas Brothers]], ''[[High School Musical]]'', etc. Though, beginning in 2010, its been ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' themed, complete with a parody of the show's usual intro.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* Rhode Island family-owned furniture chain Cardi's self-produces its local ads. When other local companies use Cardi's production services, the Cardi brothers will have a cameo in those ads as well.
* Raytheon Sarkos had a press conference showcasing the XOS 2 exoskeleton on the date of the DVD release of ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man 2]]''. They even invited Clark Gregg, the actor who played Phil Coulson in the movie, to the demonstration.
* Dodge once did an ad for one of their vehicles... which also somehow became an ad for two different video games and several other things (I seem to also remember{{verify}} an [[MP3]] player, a computer and a TV). It's an awful advert due to the constant product placement and the fact that one of the kids in the commercial can't even remember her brother's name.
* Dodge's sister make Jeep plays up the fact that its vehicles are featured in ''[[Call of Duty]] Black Ops''.
* A Band-Aid[[Tradesnark™|™]]/Neosporin ad features puppets singing their praises and how "when put together/they work exponentially better", just in case you never thought of bandaging those wounds you put goo on.
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
* Lampshaded in an Old Spice ad that simply has to be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvYP_d2S1Pg&context=C3b66c1dADOEgsToPDskKPvi23mxUTZ_MzcLr2n9Sp seen] to be believed.
* "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." This jingle was used to plug both Almond Joy and Mounds candy bars.
* Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candy bars were often mentioned in the same ad in the
* ''[[The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]]'' (new movie) + Denny's (or was it IHOP?);{{verify}} The Lorax himself is eating pancakes in the chain restaurant, and has some light comedy with his buddy. Full of [[Fridge Logic]]- why would the Lorax be eating a chain restaurant in an industrialized neighborhood?
**
* [[Jumper]] + TV provider (directv i think);{{verify}} While playing the standard commercial advertising the shows to be had at low low prices, the main character from Jumper would leap around being mildly interested
* An advertising campaign by Dole in the 1970s used to sing "...those nice pineapple people, and a great banana too." At the time, Dole's primary products were pineapple products and bananas.
* A series of radio commercials for website developer americaneagle.com consists of
* There were commercials for Verizon [[FiOS]] high-speed internet featuring [[Michael Bay]], complete with product placement for his Transformers Film Series.
