Dynamic ad integration through instructional, how to, and DIY videos

Brand-integration is one model that many large and small producers look at as a feasible revenue stream for the financing of their content. DIY, how to, instructional, and general personal interest and non-fiction content all provides a very easy platform to be able to integrate brands as part of the process through a form of soft sell that does not feel like a commercial. While this has been done for awhile on many different platforms, on-line videos are becoming a sort of brand ambassador for specific products while the audience is gaining hopefully useful information.

The one area that this could get better is if a sort of exchange was set-up where content producers could pitch for the opportunity to use a specific brand in a DIY/How To/Instructional video.
