Celebrity Sell Out

The low-down on celebrity marketing news from Brand Republic

lynx1Little-known model Lauren Budd’s brief relationship with ‘Little Britain’ star David Walliams appears to have paid off as she has landed herself a Lynx ad campaign.

Lauren posed in a skimpy gold bikini inside a giant denim pocket on a billboard, or ‘thrillboard’ to use Lynx’s description, to advertise the new portable Lynx Bullet and its “pocket pulling power”.

The ads carry the strapline “Never miss an opportunity”, pretty apt for Miss Budd who found fame, well sort of, off the back of her liaison with Walliams, which mainly consisted of pictures of the 18-year old snogging 37-year old David Walliams.

Lauren posed on the live billboard in London’s Old Street, stopping guys passing by to persuade them to join her pocket pulling power revolution. I’m sure they were only too happy to oblige.

lynx2Lauren is still milking the Walliams connection telling everyone: “I want British guys to be prepared for the ‘laydee’s’ day or night, 24/7″ and “Guys are always looking for an opportunity to pull - I get chatted up on the train, in the shops and even when I’m in a pocket at 8am on Old Street!” Shocker.

Describing her experience on the billboard Lauren said: “I felt like a real pocket rocket up there!” This girl will go far.

  • Nice range of pictures - gives you a really good idea what the campaign is about. I just hope she doesn’t get a cold up there.
