Promotion

Ed is interesting to look at as he has such a unique look. He has signature things that make him Ed (if that is understandable!) For example, a paw print tattooed on his arm- and the same paw print printed on his guitar! On an interview with the BBC he states that he likes to look like someone that people will know (a brother of a friend for example), but funny enough, Ed is the spitting image of Rupert Grint (who plays Ron Weasely in Harry Potter). Rupert plays the part of a crazed, starry eyed fan in Ed's music video Lego house; as Rupert is very popular with the public for being on such a world widely known set of movies (the Harry potters) i believe that Ed got a lot of publicity for this as in the video he looks so similar to Ed that for a second the audience really believes its him!

Ed also posts a lot of videos onto youtube for promotion; the first time I ever saw Ed was over the internet, when a friend showed me one of his videos called 'wafering stranger', a song where him mic is on loop and Ed beat box's and sings over it - brilliant!

  1. Why is using the internet such an excellent tool for self promotion?
