:10:01
You walk out
and wonder

:10:02
a lot of people must be
ordering from that company.

:10:04
Well what you don’t know is
that we paid the doorman

:10:07
to keep those
empty boxes there.

:10:07
You walk out
into the street

:10:09
and you hear some people
having kind of a loud conversation

:10:12
about a musical act
:10:15
and they are passing
headphones back and forth

:10:17
and going
this is great!

:10:20
Hey do you know that I heard
this C D is really hard to find

:10:23
but I heard they
sell it at store X.

:10:29
You hear that and
you register it

:10:30
and you might kind
of pick up on that

:10:32
and may be later
on you’ll think

:10:34
hey I wonder what the
hot act is bang

:10:35
that might be in your head.
:10:36
Now you get
into your office

:10:38
and there’s a certain brand
of water in the refrigerator.

:10:40
What is that?
:10:42
You take it out you drink
you slug it down it's there

:10:44
not really
thinking about it.

:10:47
Wow!
:10:47
That’s pretty good water.
:10:49
Who knows?
:10:50
Maybe someone placed
the water there

:10:52
You kind of go out
for your lunch break

:10:53
you’re sitting in the park and
people are kind of out there

:10:56
talking in the
park and bang

:10:57
all of a sudden you
hear another message.

:11:02
By the time you go to bed
you've probably received

:11:04
eight or nine different
undercover messages.

:11:09
People are always thinking
:11:10
well oh I know
product placement.

:11:11
That’s when they
put stuff in movies!

:11:13
Well yes kind of.
:11:14
I mean that’s definitely
traditional product placement.

:11:16
But real life product
placement is just that:

:11:18
Placing stuff in movies but
the movie’s actually your life

:11:22
Well take a group
of attainable

:11:25
but still
inspirational people

:11:26
they are not supermodels
:11:27
they are kind of
people just like you

:11:29
they’re doing
something for us

:11:31
whether they are having
a certain kind of drink

:11:33
or they are using
a certain laundry detergent

:11:34
whatever it may be.
:11:35
They are kind of the
roach motel if you will

:11:40
People are going
to come over to them

:11:41
and they are
going to give them

:11:43
this little piece
of brand bait.

:11:44
It could be a sound bite
of knowledge or a ritual.

:11:46
Consumers will get that
piece of roach bait

:11:49
then they
would take it.

:11:50
Oh pretty cool!
:11:51
Then they go out and
spread it to their friends.

:11:53
If you want to be critical
:11:55
if you want to go through
your life like that

:11:56
sure be critical
of every single person

:11:57
that walks up to you.
:11:59
But if they are showing
you something that fits
