Outside of the obvious marketing channels like PPC, SEO, Social Media – many more marketing techniques are not discussed, or used as much. Celebrity marketing and celebrity endorsements can be that different and new marketing channel for you.
The publicity and credibility that follows can be a game-changer, including powerful networking. If you are somehow associated with an A or B-list celebrity, you must be powerful yourself. By association. Makes sense. Mostly. Brad Pitt and you? Perhaps!
Interestingly enough, for business marketers that live in the entertainment capital of the world: Los Angeles (Hollywood) – it’s still almost too obvious. It’s like, when you live at the beach, you don’t go as much as if you are located far away. Funny how that works.
