It is almost as old that successful music -creating products are promoted as magnetic capitalism. Some liaison seems badly bizarre. Would you like a few examples? Advertising block!
1. Katy Perry
Effort in the media with a CO₂ slingshot for a space tourism company, in order to open up again in the desert ten minutes later-for Katy Perry it was not the first excursion into advertising. In 2022, the squeaky-colored delivery area campaign did not mean “I ordered a pizza and i liked it”. Only the delivery service hell probably knows why you have left the allusion, but at least Katy Perry wears a cake as a dress, a fried egg on his chest and a cheese. Also a statement – just what one?!
2. Lou Reed
The grumpy uncle Lou Reed when advertising a product?! Who came up with the idea? Honda! When the Japanese company wanted to introduce a new scooter in the USA, Lou Reed was immediately signed as a testimonial and his song “Walk on the Wild Side”. In the end, the Velvet-UNDERTROUND TEXTER stands on a street corner and snaps the viewer: “Hey, Don’t Settle for Walking!” You wouldn’t buy a Honda scooter from fright.
3. Devo / Grace Jones / Miles Davis
Speaking of Honda! Someone in their marketing department had too much (or too little?) Of a good music taste, because in addition to Lou Reed, in the 1980s, they also hired Miles Davis, Grace Jones and the post-punk pasture from Devo as advertising media for their scooter. Compared to Lou, Devo could To a larger speech role. And gave the viewer helpful information – for example, that you should always wear two shoes. Thank you, Devo!
4. Smudo
The Swabian rapstar with the latent office chair swag was a VW driver in 2009 and put a completely unbelievable autoraserry in his commercial as if the next sequel of “The Fast & The Volkswagen” in Wolfsburg was playing. But Smudo can’t get out of his skin, because in the end the driving instructor breaks through in him and he lets the car key rotate on the still raised index finger: “First driving safety training, then GTI!”
5. Iggy pop
Iggy in spring 2021 as the king of the Bavarian Forest, which sells sustainable sinks: he is now sitting as a fairy tale uncle on a throne in the moss and an animated owl in superhero cape and red glasses watches him when he tells the history of the quartz sand sink. Shock is called the company, shock is the effect.
6. Roberto Blanco & Sodom
One of the successful commercials brings Roberto Blanco together with Sodom in 2011. In the spot of the German Alzheimer Society, Roberto Blanco plays self -ironic with his advanced age and accidentally ends on the stage of Sodom. The
However, pioneers of the Thrash Metal cannot be asked twice and wobbles to enthusiasm of the long-haired audience together with the indestructible hero of the German hit his biggest hit “a bit of fun must be”.
7. Blixa cash
The cooperation of Blixa Bar money with a hardware store in 2004 was a strange way. The new building front man reads from the Hornbach catalog (“ISO renovation plaster 25 kilos!”) As if the nonsense bladed painting poems of Dadaism would be invented.
8. Nina Hagen
Hardly anyone has its recognition value: No wonder that Nina Hagen is happy to be asked for commercials. For 11880 as a crazy aunt, the number of telephone information gives through (Even Nina can be too much) or slips out of a silver egg for swatch in pink skirt, Nina Hagen
9. Jack White
In the strict red/white corporate identity of the White Stripes, an offer from Coca-Cola was probably essential, which the garage rocker of the 2000s too Promptly assumed. Incidentally, the displeasure of Noel Gallagher, the Jack White’s performance called: “Damn, he no longer belongs to the club. And besides, he looks like Zorro on donuts.”
