From the “this is weird” department comes this news from phone maker Oppo:
Chinese smartphone maker Oppo whose brand is already in strife in Australia, due to falling demand and massive losses by their distributor is now fighting a global problem, with market share crashing worldwide and in China, their answer is to hire Elon Musk’s mum. Their response is to cut a deal with supermodel Maye Musk, the mum of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk to spruik their new Oppo Find X6 Pro which is not being sold by smartphone retailers or carriers in in Australia.
The arrangement will see the supermodel will be the brand face and global ambassador position for the business.
The 75-year-old dietician will see her appearing in commercials and other events to promote the flagship.
Beyond what I have above, a video has leaked onto YouTube which you can watch below:
Now Maye Musk was on the cover of the Swimsuit Edition of Sports Illustrated in 1974. But beyond that, I seriously doubt anyone who would be in the target market of Oppo would even know who she is. At least not beyond her son is Elon Musk. And he’s incredibility polarizing at best at the moment. Thus, I’m really not sure how this helps Oppo. But I am a computer nerd and not a marketing expert.
