One one hand we need to do "brand clearance" whilst on the other hand companies want "placement" with their products.

It does confuse me at times.

There is a definite difference -one wants you to put the product in the film, the other requires permission. And you will find that the nature of the scene is very important. For example we had to make sure that with certain negative portrayals such as drunkness and drug dealing etc, that any branding was removed or not seen, as no brand would agree to having their product associated with such activities.
