In today’s world, product placement is a marketing method used to increase brand visibility on platforms such as television, film, and digital media. Unlike traditional advertisements, it does not directly address the consumer and is usually integrated naturally within a story or content. This method aims to offer a more organic advertising format, allowing brands to reach their target audiences more effectively. In addition to increasing brand visibility on platforms like television and digital media, product placement is becoming more widespread, especially in the film industry, thereby enhancing its potential to shape the digital marketing landscape. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of product placement in both Hollywood and Turkish cinema in the context of consumer retention and to analyze its role and importance in increasing brand visibility. The scope of the research is limited to films selected from a specific period in both Hollywood and Turkish cinema. A comprehensive literature review was conducted within the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework to provide the theoretical background of the subject. Then, examples of product placement for advertising purposes in the selected films were analyzed using a qualitative research method. The findings from the research reveal that product placement in the films examined is an effective element of advertising strategy. This research contributes to the field by exploring the role of product placement as an advertising strategy in Hollywood and Turkish cinema, demonstrating its impact on brand visibility, and its influence on modern digital marketing practices.

Günümüz dünyasında, ürün yerleştirme, televizyon, sinema ve dijital medya gibi platformlarda marka görünürlüğünü artırmak için kullanılan bir pazarlama yöntemidir. Geleneksel reklamlardan farklı olarak, doğrudan tüketiciye hitap etmez ve genellikle bir hikâye veya içerik içinde doğal bir şekilde sunulur. Bu yöntem, markaların hedef kitlelerine daha etkili bir şekilde ulaşmasını sağlayan doğal ve organik bir reklam formatı sunmayı amaçlar. Televizyon ve dijital medya gibi platformlarda marka görünürlüğünü artırmanın yanı sıra, ürün yerleştirme özellikle sinema endüstrisinde daha yaygın hale gelmekte ve böylece dijital pazarlama dünyasını şekillendirme potansiyelini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ürün yerleştirmenin Hollywood ve Türk sinemasındaki kullanımını, tüketici bağlılığı bağlamında incelemek ve bu bağlamda ürün yerleştirmenin marka görünürlüğünü artırmadaki rolünü ve önemini analiz etmektir. Araştırmanın kapsamı, Hollywood ve Türk sinemasındaki belirli bir dönemden seçilen filmlerle sınırlıdır. Çalışmada, konunun teorik arka planını sunmak amacıyla PRISMA (Tercih Edilen Sistematik İncelemeler ve Meta-Analizler İçin Raporlama Öğeleri) çerçevesinde kapsamlı bir literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Ardından, seçilen filmlerdeki reklam amaçlı ürün yerleştirme örnekleri, nitel bir araştırma yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, incelenen filmlerdeki ürün yerleştirme uygulamalarının etkili bir reklam stratejisi unsuru olarak kullanıldığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu araştırma, Hollywood ve Türk sinemasındaki ürün yerleştirmenin bir reklam stratejisi olarak rolünü keşfederek, marka görünürlüğü üzerindeki etkisini ve modern dijital pazarlama uygulamaları üzerindeki etkisini göstermesiyle alana katkı sağlamaktadır.
