5 brands that used the Brangelina divorce as an advertising opportunity

Published by Business Insider on Tue, 27 Sep 2016


The news of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce has taken the world by storm hitting the front pages of most national publications and setting social media alight.While heartbroken fans of the Hollywood couple are still digesting the news, it has not taken long for marketing masterminds to turn the latest celebrity breakup into a business opportunity.Brands that are 'brave enough' to embrace real time news and trends into their marketing strategy can reap big rewards, according to Maria Vardy, managing director at marketing agency Jaywing.However, she warned that businesses should be careful when it comes to delicate situations such as divorces, especially when children are involved.'There's a fine line in getting the approach and sentiment right, especially in the case of brand Brangelina. The end of their relationship is also the end of a lot of the emotional development associated with them as a couple and as a family,' Vardy said.Here arefive examples of Brangelina marketing from businesses around the world.1.
