My start in marketing was as a professional actor - where you spend 98% of your time doing marketing. If you do that well, you get to go to an audition. If you do that well, you get to go do your real job and get paid. (Eventually I moved into the tech world.)
Funny thing - this technique is as old as Hollywood. I've heard of tons of similar stories over the years. Heck, Stephen Furst (Flounder from Animal House) got his role when the producer saw his headshot in a pizza box.

Some people might be receptive to it, but a lot of other people are going to feel unsafe and like their physical space has been violated.
