Product placement

Maker's Mark (a) ACTS: The video shows the specific, branded wax-dipping process used to seal the bottles, which is the defining feature of the product. The video explains how this process creates value and rarity for the brand. Removing the brand name would change the video from a specific case study about this company's manufacturing process to a generic video about wax dipping.
