So if I choose someone I will make sure he or she is famous. Another factor is making sure the synergy between the endorser and the soda advertised is good. The greater connection between the endorser and product, the higher the persuasiveness of the message.

The celebrity builds character in the eyes of the public and that character carries on into the product he is endorsing, and even though a part of the persuasion has to exist in the product itself, but a celebrity uses his status and the character he has built to gain credibility and likeability among the target audience. This character the celebrity transfers to the product is known as the “meaning “(2). The transfer of the meaning to the product goes through three stages. The first stage is in finding the celebrity with the desired meaning that they want to carry to the product this requires casting from the wide world of celebrity endorsers. The second stage is choosing which celebrity embodies the meaning the marketing campaign requires for the product, this stage is subject to expense restraints and availability. After deciding on an endorser stage three is the most complicated stage as in this step the endorser has to be able to transfer that meaning into the product, they have to make this meaning “available to the consumer in a material form”(2), this stage allows the consumer to accept the meaning they are given and accept the product and you use is a tool to build their own character.

This causes the business to spend more money on more influential people leading to the assumption that celebrities are endorsing products that they do not actually use on a daily basis for money. After one is able to think critically about the logistics of the celebrity endorsing the product one can find that it is most likely about being paid or reaching a new
Celebrity endorsement is possibly the most successful form of advertising. The fact that a celebrity approves of a product is often enough for people to get on board. Advertisements create a false life or image. Chiat says in his article: “Advertising--including movies, TV, and music videos--presents to us a world that is not our world but rather a collection of images and ideas created for the purpose of selling” (Chiat 212) .There is no better way to sell a false life or idea than to have a celebrity sell it for you.

Should Beyonce be allowed to star in soda ads? This question has started a big controversial argument. My personal belief is she should be able to. I believe this because many other famous people have helped sell soda before, Americans already drink soda all the time, and it is the buyer’s choice to buy the soda or not.
