The third European Sponsorship Association (ESA) Evening Seminar will look at the development of product placement in entertainment and film partnerships.

It includes case studies on product placement and a takes a closer look at the Vodafone/Bridget Jones film tie-up as well as an interactive panel discussion to conclude the evening.

Speakers include:

Mark Boyd, head of content, Bartle Bogle Hegarty & Chairman of the British Content Management Association

Edward Sharp, head of film, Performance

Steve Read, managing director, 1st Place Product Placement

Nick Johnson, partner, Osborne Clarke

Tony Robinson, vice-president, International Marketing Partnerships, MTV Networks Europe
