It's bribery when the benefit accrues to an individual instead of the organization. If a movie studio has a director of product placement, and said director solicits cash payments to determine whether Coke or Pepsi is used in a movie, that's bribery. If the director takes bids for the product placement, that's just business as usual.
It ceases to be a normal market transaction when an individual captures the benefit. If 100% of the payment from PepsiCo goes through the movie studio, the movie studio has captured all the information (esp the pricing information). If some percentage of the price is captured by an individual (ie as a bribe), then the movie studio has lost information.
