As the article “what we are to Advertisers” by James B Twitchell informs that Advertisers use the strategy of positioning to attract consumers to their product. Positioning is a marketing strategy that exerts a brand to get the attention of customers. The product itself doesn’t even have to attract the consumer, the advertiser just needs to make an ad that creates a spark into people's minds.

Market segmentation is a crucial marketing strategy and Roxy utilizes the four bases that are commonly used for segmenting consumer markets including geographic, demographic, psychographic, and benefits sought segmentation. The geographic segmentation is ideally unlimited for the Roxy target market because the brand offers clothes for both warm and cold weather, however, it focuses mainly on the “beach lifestyle” and is generally more popular in beach towns.

Over the course of viewing a movie, I keenly focus on real-life brands and companies that are featured throughout each scene. As a founder of a start up brand, I constantly prepare for unique market strategies and creative ideas that can provide the greatest promotion of the product. The use of brands in movies is critical to a company’s day-to-day operations, and it yields extremely high earning potential. Throughout the film Happy Gilmore, both Subway and Wilson are heavily featured in an attempt to spark interest among the consumer. I will be examining the use of Subway and Wilson in the film in an attempt to determine the effectiveness of these product placements in relation to my personal habits as a consumer.

As people become more used to watching televison on demand without adverts or with less adverts, companies are looking for new ways to market their products. They have come up with the idea of integration where a brand or service is shown in a film. The recent James Bond film “Skyfall” included integration of the brands Aston Martin, Audi, Aurora, Caterpillar, CNN, Coca Cola Zero, Heineken, Jaguar, Range Rover, Royal Doulton, Sony, Scrabble and Omega amongst others. Integration has always been there, but is now on the increase. Filmmakers may be expected to increasingly work around these brands which will have to feature in the film, a practice which threatens artistic integrity. However with funding platform sites such as Kickstarter this can be kept to a minimum.

One thirty second commercial can be seen instantly by millions, especially during the Super Bowl where the commercials attract their own set of viewers

Product placement, a teamwork approach to marketing, has continued to be part of a widely and successful form of marketing that benefits numerous parties at once.

Product placement is an advertising technique used by companies to promote their products through appearances in film. Most movies have some product placement, two of these, Yes Man and American Beauty do it sometimes subtly and other times so blatantly that they break the fictive stance pulling the audience out of the story.

Scott and Craig-lees (2010) organized an experiment that analyzed if product placement, inclusion of branded products that appear through audio or visual means, influenced audience engagement through levels of pleasure, arousal, and cognitive effort. The researchers focused on specific variables that may influence the effects product placement has on their audience. For example, engagement (attention), involvement( interest ), connectedness ( to the program), engrossment( absorption of media) , immersion (psychological state), and transportation (losing real world facets while viewing). However, the researchers are primarily focusing on engagement. They hypothesis that implicit measures, such as, verbal testing, word association and sentence

According to Schiffman & Wisenblit (2015), “product placements consists of featuring products within the contents of entrainment, such as TV, movies, video games, among other.” (pp. 203).
