Abstract
Product placement has been an often used tactic in the marketing, advertising and communication industries. Product placement within these emerging platforms is developing new income streams and as a result, over the past decade there has been a resurgence of product placement, in particular within new media platforms such as video games, virtual worlds, social media and reality television programs (Taylor, 2009). For instance, in Australia, the estimated value of in-game advertisements is AU$1.25bn (Cornwell and Schneider, 2005; Manktelow, 2005). Major brand names such as American Apparel, Starwood Hotels, IBM, Dell, Sears, and even Reuters have substantial presence in the popular online virtual world Second Life (Rubel, 2006)
