Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame: a college course.



Yes, you heard right, 24 year old Joanne Angelina Germanotta, AKA Lady GaGa now has a university course dedicated to her and her remarkably quick journey to worldwide fame."Lady Gaga and the sociology of fame" is one of the latest courses to be added to the curriculum at the University of South Carolina for the spring 2011 semester. She is often heard quoting her "Obsession" and non-stop study of the topic. Her debut album in 2008 sold over 15 million albums worldwide, placed, number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and nabbed six Grammy Award nominations.

Seeing this blow up of a worldwide pop star in a matter of years has to make you wonder this chick might know a little something on the art of fame.

And any business entrepreneur can only dream of this kind of sensation for their business,

Lady Gaga has not been far from the headlines this year. Which I think we all know. At the MTV awards in September she strutted onto the stage wearing a "meat dress" - made entirely of raw steak!

I believe we can learn something from every single person we encounter and I feel we may even be able to learn a little marketing skills from this 24 year old, non-conforming, shock value loving girl from New york.

So in conclusion, Maybe putting on a metaphorical "meat dress" on your business tonight may catapult your business into the mornings headlines.


Plus she has an amazing PR team who works for free. An organizations dream marketing team.
