Following the controversy of the Kiss-Cam incident, a startup company has enlisted Gwyneth Paltrow, former spouse of Coldplay lead singer, for a publicity role.
In a surprising turn of events, Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow has taken on the role of a temporary spokesperson for the tech company Astronomer. The actress, who is known for her roles in films like Shakespeare in Love and Iron Man, is promoting the company's core products and services in a new promotional video.
The video, which has been released recently, finds Gwyneth answering general questions about Astronomer. She humorously addresses the questions, subtly pitching Astronomer's technology and upcoming events, such as their Beyond Analytics data conference in September.
Astronomer is a company that specialises in data orchestration, and Gwyneth's video emphasises the company's expertise in running Apache Airflow, which unifies data, machine learning (ML), and AI pipelines at scale. The focus of her promotion is on Astronomer's data workflow automation, rather than any consumer product.
The video's release comes after the resignation of Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot, who stepped down within a week of an infamous "Kiss Cam" incident at a Coldplay concert. The incident led to an immediate investigation by Astronomer's board, but the company has yet to comment on the matter.
Despite the recent events, there are still spots available for Astronomer's Beyond Analytics data conference in September. Interested parties are encouraged to sign up for the event to learn more about Astronomer's data and AI products.
