Description

The brand entertainment scenario in Brazil is still in its very beginning. Brands usually use sponsorship or product placement to connect to pre-existing formats of entertainment, like concerts or TV shows. However, we don’t usually see Brazilian brands creating original content.Brazilian brands also use lots of local celebrity but when they do, they usually go for traditional advertising.In addition, we very rarely see brands use foreign celebrities in their communications in Brazil.
