From Storytelling to a Participatory Culture. Analysis of a Historical Case Study on Reverse Product Placement in the Spanish Communication
Abstract
This paper is an investigation on the use of the inverse product placement tool in the context of Spanish commercial communication in a pioneering way. It is an exploration of the application of a technique that served as a vehicle to build the prototypical discourse. We are talking about the case that happened with the Limón & Nada brand of Coca-Cola. We have used an exploratory-descriptive methodology divided into phases. First, a bibliographical analysis of this practice has been carried out. Next, the creative Ángela Pacheco has been interviewed, who provides a pragmatic vision of the process. Finally, a qualitative analysis is carried out by crossing the data from the previous phases. As a result, we reached a study that detects the communicative dimensions related to this pioneering technique within our historical context.
