You might think Lady Gaga is a little odd, but you can't deny her marketing savvy. Using her talent as a pop star, she inked several marketing contracts with various products. She is even the Creative Director for Polaroid. That's right, that defunct camera company that sells the instant film hired Lady Gaga as their Creative Director. That is probably a genius move on their part, even though I wouldn't recommend that move for most companies.
The best part? It turns out that Lady Gaga's video "Telephone" is just one big ad. Well, it's actually a chart-topping song, marketing ploy and amazing video production all rolled into nine and a half minutes.
Go ahead, count the product placements. I lost track, but I'm sure you can spot all of them. And the next time you look at the products on your shelves, stop and envision them in the hands of your local celebrity. Who knows? It might just work.
