Bravo released findings from a commissioned study that suggests that advertising for products related to the content of the program it's shown in are more likely to "resonate" with audiences.
The research looked at the live brain response of 150 people who saw various combinations of ads and program content. Researchers found that brain activity in the region where long-term memory is stored was, on average, 15% higher when ads were contextually relevant to the program content, than when they weren't.

A “stronger impact” comes when the creative content has a certain appeal -- even if it is in a somewhat unrelated category -- such as when a car ad highlights the “beauty and glamour of the driving experience” airs during a fashion program.The Bravo network sales team often pitches the use of vignettes that can blend elements of a program with a brand. They claim that such "hybrid" spots have the highest recall, and average an increase of 19% in neuro-activity.
