PR - CELEBRITY PRODUCT PLACEMENT
At Fashion Mode we understand that product is budget, an investment and as such should not be given away without
due consideration and a carefully planned strategy. We only put forward recommendations where we strongly believe
the outcome will create positive opportunities.
It is important that we choose the right celebrities to product place as this is a source of brand endorsement and
negative associations can affect future product placement opportunities.
Each item gifted is always tracked and we pro-actively search paparazzi images so we are able to leverage these
opportunities and “sell in” each success placement to additional media
