Pier3 Entertainment has also placed numerous brands in Hollywood movies, television, music videos and games. Prominent placements amongst these are the integration of AOL in ‘You’ve Got Mail’, Volkswagen and Kodak in a host of TV series, and the promotional partnership between ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and Google.
Ravi Kiran, chief executive officer, specialist solutions, Asia, Starcom MediaVest Group, remarks, “With today’s time-crunched and attention-challenged consumers, entertainment and embedded marketing is rapidly emerging as one of the surest ways of connecting with them. In the last three years, many of Starcom Entertainment’s clients have benefited from its operations in India and Philippines. Now, as we prepare to roll out the solution across the Chinese market, it is good to partner with an experienced company such as Pier3 Entertainment. We look forward to this partnership with productive results for both the organisations and their clients.”
