Why it worked
The video uses a relatable social situation and high-energy peer pressure to showcase a clip from a TV show, effectively acting as a teaser that encourages viewers to watch the full series.

Product placement
Off Campus (a TV series) — it ACTS as the content being promoted; the video is a clip from the show. Removing it would change the video entirely as it is the subject matter. Prime Video (the streaming platform) — it merely APPEARS as the account name and the source of the content. Removing it would not change the video content itself.
