advertainment
Promotional media content
Advertainment blends advertising with entertainment, creating content designed to promote a product while genuinely engaging or amusing the audience.
The term covers branded videos, sponsored web series, and commercials crafted to go viral on their own merits: That Super Bowl ad was pure advertainment—people watched it for fun, not just the product.
