6 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1(in this case only) spokesperson in a prelaunch ad campaign Explanation: "They signed actress Sayuri Yoshinaga as a spokesperson/ face in their prelaunch TV ad campaign......" or something like that. I don't know the origin, but it is often used to mean a speech/talk or an act as a lead-in, warm-up, opening, introduction, or preamble. It is close to 前置き, with a purpose of making audience anticipate what comes next. So in this case she is hired to appear their prelaunch ad campaign as herself, not playing someone else I believe. The Japanese text does not say she was really a spokesperson or not at that time, and so you may have to reword it. There is a very good article about a Prelaunch ad campaign here: http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3401921 |
