You could say the designer fragrance industry and Hollywood go hand in hand, due to their long history of using actors for inspiration to promote a campaign.

Edutainment Solutions for Real World Problems
2 SepWe understand that education can be good for us; yet, we don’t always see the value of entertainment.
