primeval new zealand TV program and product placement

Postby wayno » Tue 17 Jan, 2012 6:51 pm

anyone just watch the programe "Primeval NZ"? seemed it was as much a product placement exercise for macpac clothes as much as anything, was a bit over the top in one shot they had a hat on him seemed for no other reason to advertise the brand more.... seemed he wore a good portion of their catalogue in the show
I hope macpac paid them well for that advert

We paid the sum total of $0.00 . Same as we paid Marcus lush in south and Craig Potton for wearing macpac gear in his tv series. In fact they paid for their gear! I bet that is rare, but it is totally true :)

Still lookin' good!

With Macpacs increasing mass market appeal, it's only a matter of time until it magically becomes Australian, yeah?
