Celebrity endorsements, saviour or failure
We recently learnt of Abercrombie & Fitch's decision to pay members of reality show Jersey Shore to not wear its clothing. In the age of endorsements, businesses are very sensitive to the power and influence wielded by celebrities.
Mike Spicer, our CEO, says: “Brands are much more aware of the impact that media and celebrity culture have created with the growing need for transparency in the public domain. Brands are now responding more quickly than ever to negative associations and are now choosing celebrities or programmes that are closely aligned to the brand values in order to present it in the most positive, and plausible, way.”
