What is Indirect advertising

Handbook of Research on the Future of Advertising and Brands in the New Entertainment Landscape
It is a type of advertising present in both entertainment and informative content. It has a pull strategy that seeks to attract the consumer to a content of interest or main content. Advertising is a secondary content that is present and forms part of the main content, even though it is not the main objective of the activity. Depending on the type of indirect advertising, the receiver may or may not be aware of the presence of the brand. If the focal attention is primarily focused on the main activity, the advertising present in the activity may also be processed unconsciously via parafoveal or peripheral perception.

Abstract
The transformation of the advertising system is the result of the dynamic interaction of three dimensions: advertising proposals, consumer response, and advertising effectiveness resulting from the interaction. The decrease in advertising effectiveness at the end of the last century, together with a set of technological and socio-cultural factors, has given rise to new advertising proposals distributed through new multidirectional communicational contexts and new formats that continue to privilege a type of direct advertising. However, these new advertising proposals have focused on the first dimension of the advertising system and have not sufficiently taken into account scientific advances on the psychological nature of the consumer. This has produced a series of imbalances whose analysis has led to the identification of a phenomenon of masking and transfiguration in a type of indirect advertising, emerging in the culture of digital entertainment, which benefits from scientific advances on the current conception of affective-cognitive processing.
