05 / Ad formats

Three ways in, from the billboard on Main Street to a line from his wife.

  1. Set

    The billboard on Main Street

    Your name on the town itself: billboards, storefronts, the bus stop he waits at.

  2. Prop

    In his hands

    He drives it, eats it, drinks it. The camera holds on the label.

  3. Cast

    A line from his wife

    A cast member names the product on camera, in character. Our premium format.

Plus the catalog. Everything on screen, from his car to her kitchen gadgets, is for sale in the Truman Catalog.

06 / On screen

Four products are placed in this kitchen. He has never spotted one.

Find them. Each one you find gets the label it should have had.

4 of 4 found

That label is what disclosure looks like.

07 / Specs and rules

The label faces the lens, and from 2026 so does the disclosure.

Spec Seahaven house rule 2026 rule
Framing Label to the lens, held long enough to read. Same. A good placement can still be seen.
Delivery Said in character, as if it were just conversation. In character is fine. Passing it off as a friend's advice is not.
The lead Never told. He thinks it is his life. Everyone on camera knows what is paid for.
Disclosure None. It is never called an ad. Labeled on screen every time, and listed in the catalog.

PPaid placement The on-screen label, as UK television uses it. Ours goes on every placement.

08 / Case study

Mococoa ran in prime time, mid-argument, and everyone saw the seam.

"Why don't you let me fix you some of this new Mococoa drink?"
His wife, to camera, mid-fight

Campaign reportPPaid placement

Brief
Launch a new cocoa drink to the whole audience.
Placement
Cast integration at home: his wife, the kitchen, the tin to camera.
What happened
It aired in the middle of their worst fight. He saw she was selling to someone else, and she broke character.
What we changed
Every pitch is labeled, and none is ever passed off as a wife talking to her husband.

09 / Why we label

The day he found the door in the sky, the audience changed the channel.

A placement nobody admits is an ad spends the audience's trust. Label it, and the trust stays yours.
