New Service Offers Product Placement Contact Database

LA CANADA, CA (May 5, 2006) – Spotlight Branding is the newest offering from the premier media list company for public relations professionals and business owners, The Gift List. They have consolidated industry contacts for film, television and gaming on one searchable online database for product placement and branded entertainment opportunities. It is the first of its kind for the industry.

“Reaching beyond the traditional 30-second spot, we are entering a new wave of marketing and promotions: product placement,” explains Amy Bates Stumpf, president of Spotlight Branding (www.spotlightbranding.com) and The Gift List (www.giftlistmedia.com). “It is important for marketing professionals to gain direct access to the right contact before it’s too late. That is why we developed this database.”

Product placement can be as simple as strategically placing a product on the set or as developed as integrating a particular brand into the script. In both cases, the audience reach is larger than any print medium and the effect on sales can be equally as dramatic.

Spotlight Branding continually updates their online database of contacts looking for specific products to include in their productions, including direct contact names, outlet details, shooting schedule, deadlines, product preferences, and more. It allows subscribers to gain the exposure they need without wasting time.

“Let’s face it, Hollywood has always been an inside-track industry. Getting inside information doesn’t come easily to most outsiders. Our research is done by film and television professionals, and managed by a twenty-year veteran of the business.” says Stumpf.

“We’ve been doing media research for years and understand the value of old fashioned leg work,” she explains. “We’ve interviewed each and every contact in person so you’re guaranteed accurate, complete and current data every time you log in.”

The Spotlight Branding yearly subscription is available for $549.
