The Art of Marketing and Celebrity Placement
Celebrities, by and large, are entertainers. Sure, some are Supreme Court Justices, CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies, scientists, astronauts, etc., but for the most part, celebrities are there to entertain. Despite their seemingly single-faceted purpose, on many given issues, a famous pop singer would likely have more "pull" than a room full of Congressmen. This makes them perfect candidates for large-scale marketing projects, celebrity marketing projects to be exact. Everyday, we are watching celebrities use both their image and their creative prowess by influencing audiences to buy into a brand or a cause. Celebrity placement in marketing campaigns is a strategy more and more companies and not-for-profits are looking towards to maximize their exposure. The use of celebrity placement in marketing campaigns is something that's been going on for a long time now, and today it is one of the quickest and most effective way of getting your name out there.
