Description

Standard European Union directives govern Branded Entertainment in Greece. A TV show that has product placement has to declare it before hand and with a special sign at the beginning on the program. In the last couple of years, there have been some branded cooking shows on TV and lots of product placement. The most known Branded Entertainment project in Greece was Lacta's branded feature film, "Love in the end", released in cinemas in 2013.

Execution

The documentary aired as a prime time TV special, on the eve of Valentine's day, on Greece's most popular TV channel, ANT1.

The TV airing was promoted with TV trailers for one week, on the national Greek TV channel ANT1, that aired the show.
