Spanish term

Telepromoción

Spanish to English Other Journalism Television
"Telepromoción" is a very common advertising technique in the Spanish-speaking world, where the presenter of the show advertises a given product in the middle of the show, usually speaking to the camera (i.e. not in the allocated commercial break). Do we have a term for this in English? (it isn't the same as product placement.)

Advertorial

I know exactly what you're referring to because they do it a lot on Mexican free-to-air TV, but I don't think I've ever heard the terms for it, either in Spanish or English. Could "advertorial" be the English equivalent here?

Have a look at this Wikipedia entry and see if you think it fits. The entry on the Spanish page calls it a "publireportaje", but the definition isn't quite the same as it's basically describing an "infomercial", which I believe are generally much longer and are complete programmes in themselves.

"An advertorial is an advertisement in the form of editorial content. The term "advertorial" is a blend (see portmanteau) of the words "advertisement" and "editorial." Merriam-Webster dates the origin of the word to 1946.[1]

In printed publications, the advertisement is usually written to resemble an objective article and designed to ostensibly look like a legitimate and independent news story. In television, the advertisement is similar to a short infomercial presentation of products or services. These can either be in the form of a television commercial or as a segment on a talk show or variety show."
