When movies made brands viral...

We all remember the increase in sales of Yakult after To All The Boys I Loved Before...From Tom Cruise's Rayban to Lara Jean's Yakult, here are a few more examples.

The perks of movie marketing have been tried and tested to the point wherein certain brand placements led to the product going viral.

Everything about a movie is iconic. It's like a fairy-tale people choose to believe in. So, when they see their favorite actor wearing Aviators or their dearest actress wearing a dazzling dress, they want to wear it too. It doesn't matter if the brand has integrated a paid promotion or the product placement is to signify the characteristic of a character or a scene, that the product represents too.
