celebrity endorsements

Famous faces advertise

Celebrity endorsements are promotional arrangements where famous people publicly recommend products, services, or causes.

The celebrity lends their image, credibility, or appeal to influence consumer behavior: The brand's sales doubled after they secured celebrity endorsements from athletes.

The practice spans advertising, politics, and charity campaigns, though effectiveness varies with how authentic the pairing seems.
