Entourage Season 7: Product Placement Gone Awry

July 27th, 2010  |  Posted by The Efficient Drinker

Though relying heavily on guest stars, Entourage Season 7 has been a bit of a rebirth and provided some compelling plot twists: Ari as a potential NFL owner, Drama maybe getting a sitcom and E’s impending marriage/work conflict. The plotlines avoid Vince — a good thing because Adrian Grenier isn’t the greatest. The writers get that viewers are sick of the redundant story: Vince is going to do the movie, Vince is not going to do the movie.

drinking Bud rather than vintage wine is an odd choice

As for product placement, Budweiser is everywhere and it’s absurd. Couldn’t the writers have been a little crafty and written in something about Vince getting a lifetime supply of Bud? That’s the only “plausible” explanation as to why that’s the only beer he has at his house with so many other choices. Who stocks Bud bottles as a go to beer? I’d guess the answer is: hardly anyone. Then to believe that Vince, E, Drama and Turtle drink it without hesitation is kinda far fetched. And to think that model/aspiring actresses do the same is beyond far fetched.

John Stamos and Vincent Chase with Budweiser

Hey look - it's Uncle Jessie!

Another funny part was seeing John Stamos aka. Uncle Jessie getting into the act too. Given his ball-buster personality, it seems odd that he didn’t have a comment when presented with a Bud. Nor was he offered an alternative. If I asked a friend if he or she wanted a beer and I came back with Bud, I’m pretty sure I’d get a funny look, if not a prompt for an explanation .

Tequila Avion in Entourage

the placements continue...

I’m ashamed to say that I was fooled into thinking that Tequila Avion was some fictional product, but a little research cleared things up. Tequila Avion is a premium tequila start-up, presumably positioned to compete with Patron. We can only hope that Turtle’s possible involvement in its marketing isn’t a recurring plotline, rendering Entourage an infomercial. That being said, Tequila Avion just got a multimillion dollar round of financing, so who knows. For those of you wondering, Tequila Avion is available in LA and NYC-area at this point. If Avion never returns to Entourage, its appearance was a nice little product placement campaign because most viewers won’t be sure whether it’s real and if they see it at a bar, maybe will try it. And a memo to InBev or whoever makes Bud now: product placement is a good idea, but choose your partners carefully. Entourage’s appalling lack of subtlety makes what you’re doing obvious and destroys the value.

Will Tequila Avion be a part of Entourage past Episode 4?

    I have to say, the Tequila Avion product placement on Season 7 of Entourage has to be the most appalling thing I’ve ever seen. I thought it was a fictional product until I saw a billboard for it on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and I almost threw up in my mouth. I can’t imagine being a writer, being told that I have to write an entire sub-plot-as-product placement, doing it, and then being able to sleep at night. Truly abhorrent, and one can only hope it wasn’t a sign of things to come.

    I have to agree with Andrew who left a prior comment. I think the over the top product placement of Avion on Entourage might be the most disgusting display of selling out a show to date. It really works in opposition to what Avion is trying to create as I would never even want to try the product since it has engaged itself in this ridiculous promotion. Sadly I am sure there are thousands who will fall for this lame attempt at marketing this brand. Oh well, what can you expect since Patron blew up after being in a couple hip hop songs.

    Wow! What a long explanation! However, Clinton has not been interviewed by the FBI and no indictment has been issued at this time. It is the end of June. Maybe she has done all these things, and maybe not. My only question is: if Clinton is not indicted or later convicted, are you willing to do another very long apology piece, and leave this profession in shame? Put your money where your mouth is; otherwise, you are just a conspiracy nut.LikeLike

    Hi Tim,Absolutely love this idea. The thing that pops up for me was being human, authentic, real, to make the email list grow quickly.I dig their creative approaching to boosting subscriber counts but feel more than anything, being personable is the way to go. Making special people feel special is the key to business success. It’s all about the feeling, the listening, and serving, and paying strict attention to detail.I launched a new blog 2 weeks ago. My #1 intent was to make each reader and social sharer and commentor feel really special, by doing all I could to respond to every comment and social interaction possible. I’ve been up late at nights, but it’s so worth it as my blog took off quickly.Listen, Engage. Connect. Ask. Answer. These simple acts preclude tremendous accomplishments, just like yours…..and the woolly mammoth doesn’t hurt either.I also note the strict attention to detail, including the research done to find the best, most comfortable but effective razor blade. Savvy marketing rocks but the product provides some serious juice too, and when you’ve made folks happy, they will spread the word for you, making your job a little bit easier.Thanks so much for sharing Tim. You rock.I’ll be tweeting in a little bit to get this one out bright and early, EST time.Signing off from Savusavu, Fiji.Enjoy your day!RyanLikeLike
