First it was Ellen’s Twitter selfie at the Oscars, and now, David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox has taken a selfie with the big man himself, Barack Obama, and posted it to Twitter. The selfie of David Ortiz and Barack Obama was snapped during the Red Sox’s visit to the White House and was taken by none other than a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, courtesy of Samsung.
Earlier this week, it has been reported that Samsung and Ortiz signed a deal, along with some other members of the Red Sox, to promote Samsung’s devices. The image was retweeted by Samsung with the hashtag #GalaxyNote3, and although the image hasn’t quite reached the Twitter-crashing viral nature of Ellen’s tweet, it’s still serving as a big part of Samsung’s marketing and advertising machine.
What do you think of all these celebrity endorsements for Samsung’s devices? Do you think they’ve figured viral marketing out for 2014? Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments.
