cameo visibility 

(n.) - The fact or state of something being at least visible in society, even if not everyone knows about it yet.

"You know, even if nobody has heard of my ideas for safer bike lanes yet, I hope that they can at least achieve a small degree of cameo visibility this century."

-- overheard at a watercooler at a national conference for
designers and inventors in San Francisco
