On social media, celebrities in 2020 don’t have much more to offer you than the occasional solemn video about how “we’re all in this together,” filmed from the socially distant comfort of their 200-room mansions. But what if they could offer benefits that were a bit more practical? In Geico’s campaign launched this summer, expanded…
An easy target, to be sure, but here’s a clever bit of celebrity newsjacking from a New York chain of gyms.
New York Sports Clubs ran the ad above in today’s New York Post, just a few days after the tabloid wedding of the year between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Of course, the message is a bit confusing, since it’s unlikely that Humprhies suffered some sort of failed physique during his brief few months as a married man.
Cue the many follow-on response ads addressing Kim about Kanye’s shortcomings in 3 … 2 …

Today we say goodbye to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Over the next few months, the general public will dissect all things MJ — what will happen to his three children, and what his musical legacy will become. I’m more interested in is his impact on the advertising world.
Until 1984, it was virtually unheard of for a superstar to endorse products on TV, until Pepsi inked a $5 million deal with Jackson, paving the way for future deals with Madonna, Cindy Crawford, Ray Charles, and Britney Spears. In fact, Jackson’s relationship with Pepsi was so successful that brands such as Buick, American Express, Cover Girl, and Jell-O also pursued celebrity deals, elevating those brands to unseen levels of popularity.
The Pepsi-Jackson deal also broke creative ground — at the height of “Thriller,” Jackson rewrote “Billie Jean” to create a version specifically for Pepsi, rather than sing the original jingle, thus taking the concept of branding to a new level. The Wall Street Journal credits Jackson for breaking barriers that gave way to iPod commercials starring Coldplay as well as car commercials featuring indie rock songs that have yet to get radio play, but are sure to be the next big thing.
Not bad for a kid from Gary, Indiana, huh?
