#32: The Celebrity Cameo
Celebrity-endorsed advertisements have always been popular. Every day people like us want to emulate and copy famous people that we look up to and think are cool. It’s the truth whether we like it or not! This 1987 Sony ad shows how celebrities were used to promote products before social media influencers.
This ad features none other than the famous band Genesis. They record their amazing albums with Sony equipment and sell their CDs so you can play them on your Sony compact disc player. How convenient is that? This ad is brilliant because it promotes Sony and Gensis’ new album at the same time. Two for the price of one never sounded so good.
