Publicity Before Decency

Heidi Klum's BoobDance for Victoria's Secret

— November 25, 2007 — Naughty
Watching Heidi Klum's boob dance will surprise you, as you may have never seen a celebrity endorse a major brand with what looks to be such an immature approach to getting publicity. Will it hinder Heidi Klum's personal brand? It's something you might expect from a lesser known model in a commercial for a more male oriented company like Axe.

This clip of Heidi Klum dancing in her underwear and grabbing her boobs definitely got a lot of attention, and I guess that's the intention of viral video. The Victoria's Secret model talks about what happens in chilly weather, then proceeds to yodel while bouncing her boobs and then rounds off the clip with a bit of femme-bot action.

As a celebrity endorser, I guess sometimes decency comes second to publicity.
Trend Themes
1. Controversial Celebrity Endorsements - Companies willing to take risks and associate with potentially controversial celebrities can benefit from increased attention and brand awareness.
2. Viral Advertising - The use of provocative or attention-grabbing advertising techniques can increase the likelihood of content going viral and generating widespread public attention.
3. Blurring of Personal and Professional Branding - The rise of social media and influencer culture has led to a blurring of personal and professional branding, resulting in celebrities and influencers willing to engage in more provocative or controversial behavior to maintain their public profile and gain endorsements.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry, particularly high-end or luxury brands, may benefit from controversial celebrity endorsements, as it can increase brand awareness and appeal to a younger demographic.
2. Advertising - Viral advertising techniques can benefit the advertising industry by increasing brand exposure and generating higher levels of engagement with target audiences.
3. Entertainment - The entertainment industry may benefit from the blurring of personal and professional branding, as it can create more buzz and publicity around celebrities and their projects, leading to increased revenue and popularity.
