Why it worked
The video leverages the excitement of a major concert and a popular artist to create a relatable and aspirational scenario. The subtle branding and playful interaction with the crowd suggest a behind-the-scenes or exclusive experience, making the brand seem desirable and connected to popular culture.

Product placement
Hair Syrup ACTS: it is a brand of hair care products. The creator holds up a sign with the brand name and logo. The brand name is also visible on the creator's bio link. Removing it would change what happens in the video because the video is about the creator's experience at an Ariana Grande concert, and they are using the brand name to identify themselves and their purpose for being there. The brand is being used to identify the creator and their affiliation, which is a form of promotion.
