PR experts suggest that the recent divorce rumors surrounding Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are fabricated to distract fans from Lopez's career struggles, including poor movie and tour sales.
Experts suggest that rumors of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce might be a PR strategy to divert attention from Lopez's recent professional setbacks, including poor reception of her film Atlas, cancelled tour dates, and a potentially cancelled Las Vegas residency.
Jennifer Lopez's sudden tour cancellation and Ben Affleck's split rumours have sparked speculation that these issues are being used to divert attention from Lopez's career struggles, including low ticket sales and a lackluster return to film. PR experts suggest the divorce rumours may be a strategic distraction, advising scepticism until confirmed.
Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace announced that Kate Middleton will undergo planned abdominal surgery and King Charles III will receive treatment for an enlarged prostate, signaling a shift in the royal family's PR strategy towards transparency. PR experts note that the simultaneous and candid nature of the announcements aims to control the narrative, reduce rumors, and build trust with the public. This departure from the traditional "never explain, never complain" approach reflects a willingness to connect with the public and use their platform for good, drawing inspiration from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's transparency.
Experts believe that the recent release of a childhood photo of Kate Middleton by Kensington Palace is a calculated PR move to counter recent controversies and improve her public image. The photo, taken in 1983, has been well-received and draws comparisons to her youngest son, Prince Louis. Experts suggest that the photo's relatability and innocence evoke positive emotions and distract from recent negative press. While some would like to see Kate address the controversies, it is unlikely to happen as she adheres to the royal motto of "Never complain, never explain."
A leaked internal memo from Amazon reveals the company's plans to expand its influence in Southern California through various strategies, including philanthropy, countering labor agitation, and currying favor with local politicians and community groups. The memo highlights Amazon's efforts to address reputational challenges and resistance from environmental and labor activists in the region. It also outlines the company's intention to push back against state bills that threaten its interests, such as those prohibiting large warehouses near residential areas. Amazon aims to generate positive media coverage through charitable campaigns and plans to discontinue support for organizations that are antagonistic towards its brand. Critics argue that the memo exposes Amazon's strategy to downplay concerns about low pay and poor working conditions through donations and media manipulation.
Jada Pinkett Smith's revelation of her and Will Smith's separation after seven years is seen as a strategic move to generate interest in her forthcoming memoir, "Worthy." Celebrity PR experts believe that the timing of the announcement, just before the book's release, is a calculated strategy to create buzz. However, the decision to withhold this information for so long may affect the public's trust and raise ethical concerns. Fans may question the couple's credibility, but Hollywood's forgiving nature and curiosity about their dynamic may ultimately overshadow the controversy.
Warner Bros./DC Studios has relied almost entirely on supporting cast members to market "The Flash" movie, which stars Ezra Miller, who has been plagued by allegations of misconduct and erratic behavior. Miller's apparent muzzling is a studio strategy to manage a crisis of rare magnitude. There is no modern template for managing these kinds of allegations against an actor this essential to a movie with this much riding on it. The studio's best bet might be to put the film out and "pray to God that people focus on other things."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were both invited to King Charles' coronation last year, but Meghan declined the invitation to attend a 4-year-old's birthday party. Palace courtiers have no idea what plane Harry is taking or when he is arriving, and there are doubts about whether he will attend at all. Meghan and Harry's PR strategy is focused on putting a positive spin on their absence and keeping the limelight on them.
Jonathan Majors, one of Hollywood's hottest young stars, has been dropped by his manager and publicist amid domestic violence charges. He was arrested on March 25 for allegedly attacking a 30-year-old female. Majors has been axed from multiple projects, including The Man in My Basement and a Texas Rangers MLB ad campaign. Despite being one of Hollywood's "it" actors, he likely faces an uphill battle amid his legal troubles. His PR strategy may need to change depending on how the legal process unfolds.
