UNIT 3: Celebrity Branding

Clooney-2-224x300Celebrity Branding began in the 1940’s with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall advertising Robert Burns Cigarillos and Betty Davis selling Lustre Cream Shampoo. Now we see famous faces on hoardings, in magazines and TV advertisements extolling the virtues of one product or another, the implication being that if we buy into the fantasy, we too can be just like them.

In the new economic powerhouses of China and India the practice has also become hugely popular, giving cult status to the celebrities who offer the masses something to aim for.

The most influential of the celebrities tended to have to been singers, models, film stars and sports professionals, no doubt because they are the ones earning the big money. In recent times bloggers, executives and artists among others are also proving their social value via endorsements. They can have a huge impact on a brand; the celebrity can be forever associated with the product and it is advertising heaven. This unit will cover this phenomenon.

UNIT 4: Political Branding

obama-twitterPolitics has always been about making a mark and the way political branding has been used in recent times has been attributed to many of the successes of modern politicians.

Barack Obama’s first election win in 2008 via Social Media and re-election in 2012 are excellent examples. Online and offline branding techniques were used to build trust with his constitutes (customers), allowing him to become the first African American politician to be elected President in the White House.

The bets are now on that past senator Hillary Clinton will also embark on a similar campaign for the 2016 election – and could become the first woman to become President.

This unit will cover political campaigning and strategies that are now used online.
