People are attached to their favorite celebrity, and they are generally well-trusted by their fans. If they use your product, it shows their fans that it is a product worth using and builds trust in your brand.
Using a celebrity to represent you helps to differentiate your brand from competitors. It also can improve ad recall, making consumers remember your ad and that your brand is connected to their favorite celebrity.
Choosing the right celebrity can open up your brand to new markets. For example, when Nike wanted to expand from primarily sponsoring tennis and track, they partnered with Michael Jordan – and this partnership has been so successful it has expanded into its own subsidiary company.
One challenge small companies face is finding new users for their products. Local celebrities in advertising appeal to customers as well as those who have never tried the brand. The latter may be users of competitive brands. However, those who continually see the local celebrity in a commercial for a certain product may be convinced to try the product.

what are celebrity endorsements ?
Celebrity endorsement, also known as celebrity branding or celebrity advertising is a marketing strategy that uses a celebrity’s fame and image to promote a brand or product. Other use cases include not-for-profit organizations that leverage a celebrity’s fame to raise awareness or funding around a cause. Or event marketers leveraging a celebrity’s fame and popularity to create buzz and prestige around their virtual or hybrid event
Your celebrity of choice doesn’t need to be a movie star, per se. Brands have produced excellent branding campaigns with music artists, sports personalities, social media influencers, or even fictitious characters like cartoons. The two basic requirements that will define your choice of celebrity are image (does the celebrity represent your values) and following (how large an audience will you reach via this celebrity). More on that in the next section.
common mistakes to Avoid when signing up celebrities
when you decide to invest in celebrity endorsements here are few mistakes we help you overcome.
Falling victim to internal bias - Many times, the celebrity selection process begins with the brand team sitting around a table talking about celebrities they like and know and even celebrities their children or spouses like.
Relying on vanity metrics - Marketers will often think they’re taking a rigorous approach to selecting celebrity talent, but they are typically only beginning to scratch the surface in regard to metrics.
Assuming your creative agency has it covered - Brands will often trust their creative agency to take a more rigorous approach when choosing a celebrity endorser. In reality, creative agencies do exactly what the brand might: fall victim to internal bias
Blindly trusting talent agency recommendations - The issue here is that talent agencies and brokers exist to represent celebrity talent, so they’re not necessarily recommending clients because of their alignment with the brand.
