Advertainment

Where advertising and entertainment converge, Advertainment creates a lasting memory in the minds of viewers by engaging them through visual storytelling. Advertainment is a shift away from product-centric messaging and has become the most powerful strategy for marketers to create an authentic emotional connection with their brand.

Branded content or brand clips, commercials vignettes that are packaged like mini-movies and barely mention the advertiser’s name.
Brian Dnazis, Chief Revenue Officer at Virool was quoted saying "This is the year of advertainment!" More and more advertisers are shifting towards creating entertaining and meaningful advertainment rather than 15 - 30 second infomercials.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
