This latest product placement deal, which was brokered by Starcom MediaVest Group’s content division Liquid Thread, comes after a similar deal struck by Samsung to place its Galaxy camera in Little Mix's music video for ‘Change Your Life’.
The Little Mix video was posted on YouTube three months ago and has since been viewed more than 17.7 million times.
Rupert Britton, the content strategy director for Liquid Thread, said: "Product placement works best when it is editorially justified and we are very happy with the way the Galaxy S4’s Air Gesture functionality has been integrated into the video of The Wanted’s ‘She Walks Like Rihanna’."
