A high-profile person, case, or event is one that many people notice — newspapers, TV, social media. Companies often want that on purpose: a high-profile campaign is meant to be seen. Though actually the dictionary’s “usually deliberately” is tidier than life: a high-profile court case can pull in cameras whether anyone asked or not.
