The Hidden Formula Behind Celebrity Endorsements: Elevating Brands with Emotion

This groundbreaking research reveals how celebrity endorsements can supercharge your brand by turning weaknesses into strengths! Through the concept of "complementarity," celebrities lend their star power to fill in the gaps where your brand may be lacking. With three studies to back it up, the research shows how a celebrity’s influence transfers enriching benefits to your brand—regardless of prior brand awareness. The real kicker? These benefits stick even more when consumers don’t know where your brand is weak. Plus, the key to making it work: triggering positive emotions through "elevation." Marketers, take note—this is the strategy you’ve been waiting for!REFERENCE:Jun, Mina & Han, Jeongsoo & Zhou, Zhimin & Eisingerich, Andreas B., 2023. "When is celebrity endorsement effective?
