Talk Details
Advertiser Funded Programming (AFP) and product placement are not new concepts. In fact, the phrase ‘soap opera’ comes from the 1920s when Proctor & Gamble frequently sponsored radio programmes.
By the turn of this century a plethora of show formats were being created for the small screen with brands stitched into the funding model – for example, The Apprentice.
Livewire distinguishes between, what they call ‘immersive media sponsorship’ and AFP. In their view, AFP is programming which simply would not exist without advertiser input. Livewire work with brands to move from AFP to Advertiser Created Programming, aka “ACP”.
This talk will explore how AIB created The Toughest Trade, the impact of the series and the role of the advertiser in this process. At the same time the benefits and challenges of the advertiser created programming model for broadcasters will be assessed by RTE.
