Gaga about luxury product placement

Posted in Branded content, Online marketing, Social media by stateoflux on December 17, 2009

The modern luxury industry is arguably built on product placement in one form or another, but Lady Gaga is offering something quite remarkable to luxury brands: the opportunity to get in front of 35million YouTube viewers for starters.  The latest beautifully crafted product from Haus of Gaga is the Bad Romance video, which counts no less than 12 product slots for everyone from Burberry to Versace via Phillipe Starck, La Perla and McQueen.  Why?  Gaga’s opulent visual imagery is an inviting backdrop for a luxury brand.  It is the kind of lavish fantasy that strikes an attractive balance of desirability, edginess and mass appeal.  Couple that with an almost unprecedented reach thanks to social media and it starts to look like a very engaging marketing platform.
