Question
"Hi Marrissa,I actually asked a question yesterday and now have a new one.My question is,is it unheard of if
we (the writers/creators of our potential reality show)get product placement
endorsement contracts for the show prior to a network wanting the show and in
turn wanting rights to product placements also ? In other words can we BOTH do
product placement endorsements and do this show.Thanks Marrissa. Micke"

Answer
Hi, Mickey.

Glad you liked the last answer.

This time, I can tell you that it is indeed possible, as long as your potential sponsors know that, if there is a conflict with the network buying the show, the network takes precedence.

I actually believe there is precedence for this in some of the deals that Reveille made for shows such as BLOW OUT.

Good luck! I can't wait to hear that your show is sold!

Best,
Marrissa
