Celebrity Talent Westport Entertainment Associates has secured a wide array of celebrities over the years. Joan Lunden became the first celebrity ever to appear in a national advertising program for a prescription medication when she endorsed Schering Plough’s Claritin brand. Wesport identified Joan as an allergy sufferer and put together a program that ran for 4 consecutive years. When Georgia Pacific’s Angel Soft brand wanted hot, high profile celebrities for their Angels in Action program, Westport negotiated deals with Kelly Ripa, Jane Kaczmarek and Jennie Garth. The program has been getting national media attention on GMA, FOX, People Magazine, Extra, CNN and many other outlets over the past 5 years. When Hanes decided to lose the tags on their T-shirts and underwear, Westport assembled a star roster including Mr. T, Yogi Bera, Dick Clark, Alex Rodriguez and Rod Carew to launch this brand, like A-Rod launches baseballs. The result? Major national media coverage and a highly successful advertising program. Sears was looking for a fresh new image that would extend to private label brands. Westport brought the hottest reality star in America to the table, Ty Pennington, host of ABC’s runaway hit “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” This year Ty will appear in TV, print, radio and POS adverting. In 2005, the Ty Pennington private line will appear in Sears stores throughout the country. After all, you can’t spell STYLE without TY.
