Paris Hilton
To kick-off their promotion of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, NBC partnered with the high-profile celebrity who shares the city’s name. The promotional video pairs humor with excitement as we catch a glimpse of Hilton and are informed ‘all eyes will be on Paris’ before the video cuts away from her to a montage of all the different sports viewers can expect to tune into during the games. At the end of the video, Paris Hilton realizes the narrator wasn’t talking about her in the first place. He was talking about the capital of France where the games will be held, so she said “Oh, the other Paris”. The celebrity also shared the promotional video on her Twitter account. She added that she couldn’t wait for the Olympic Games, even though they’re not going to be all about her. In response, the official account for the Paris Olympics replied that it’s going to be all about the Paris Olympics. This campaign for the unveiling of the logo from NBC was praised by users across social media platforms. People said it was great attention-grabbing marketing. Some even started urging the broadcasting network, and the Olympics association to get Paris Hilton to carry the Olympic torch next year.
