Entertainment partnerships have stood the test of time—for one simple reason: they deliver results. While some aspects of impact can be hard to quantify, brands consistently report meaningful lifts in key performance metrics like brand awareness, affinity, click-through rates, website traffic, and overall ROI. So why do they work so well? This article covers the top 4 reasons.

Co-marketing entertainment partnerships—where advertisements feature both a brand and TV show or movie content—are emerging as a powerful strategy in the digital advertising landscape. This approach embeds familiar entertainment IP into brand ad creatives and is reshaping how brands capture attention and resonate with audiences. Early evidence suggests that such partnerships can significantly boost engagement, recall, and brand perception [1], [2]. They enable brands to tap into pre-existing fan bases and the emotional capital of popular shows, creating a “brand halo” effect in which positive associations with the entertainment content transfer to the brand [3]. Thesis: Co-marketing provides a significant improvement to marketing performance by enhancing ad cut-through, fostering a strong brand halo, and delivering multi-objective lift in both B2C and emerging B2B contexts. Conclusion: When executed thoughtfully, co-marketing entertainment partnerships outperform traditional advertising methods in cutting through media clutter and achieving sustained brand lift.
