## Prompt

```text
Help me place a product naturally in a scene.

**Product:** [WHAT it is and the one benefit to show]
**Format:** [YouTube video, short-form video, podcast, web series, short story, comic]
**Scene or story so far:** [PASTE script or describe the scene and characters]
**Characters involved:** [names, personalities, how they talk]
**Audience:** [WHO watches or reads, and what they dislike in ads]
**Brand requirements:** [must-say points, things to avoid, on-screen time]

Give me:
1. Four placement options ranked from subtle to prominent: background or prop, character uses it, product solves a moment in the plot, and a direct but in-character mention.
2. For my top two options: the rewritten scene or script lines, showing exactly where the product appears.
3. Why each option feels natural for these characters, and the risk of it feeling forced.
4. A clear sponsorship disclosure line suited to the format and platform, and where to place it.
5. Notes for filming or illustrating the placement (framing, timing, product visibility).

Rules:
- Keep characters' voices consistent. The product should never stop the story.
- No claims the brand hasn't approved; mark any as [CONFIRM WITH BRAND].
- Paid placements must be disclosed; remind me to follow the advertising disclosure rules where I publish (e.g. FTC guidance in the US) and the platform's branded-content tools.
