Doing The Deal in Branded Entertainment | Patrick Collings 2010Patrick Collings
油
This is one of two presentations I gave at the branded entertainment conference in Johannesburg on 24 March 2010. This particular presentation focuses on structuring branded entertainment deals, primarily the insertion of brands into film or television scripts. Many of the points are applicable to other forms of branded entertainment and branded content.
