The moderate growth rate of the restaurant industry results in many competitive rivalries and the nature of business allows customers to switch freely. Therefore, among porter’s five forces, the pressures from substitute products tend to drive the most competition in the restaurant industry today (Restaurant 2015). In addition, restaurants face the threat of customer’s ability to choose other leisure activities such as going to the movies, bowling, or other social outings (Restaurant 2015). To effectively compete under such conditions, restaurants are heavily investing in brand building to create customer loyalty. Another trending strategy used to increase customer returns is servicing beyond food and beverages; restaurants are heavily investing in providing individualized, memorable and entertaining

Their endorsements are big business. We are surrounded by product promotions from the stars of sport, television and cinema. The ubiquity of these endorsements testifies to their impact in a complex, communications based society. Endorsement occurs when

Celebrities can have significant influence on consumer choices because they are recognizable audience. Michael Jordan has been known to sell his shoes to a company and is a basketball player. This example shows that Michael Jordan show’s that he can sell good shoes because he is a famous basketball player. So this makes people want to buy things that Michael Jordan shows or has.

Laura and her boss Isabel have the garden variety marketing problem in the age of ubiquitous media advertising; how to reach the customer and sell your product amidst "ad-zapping devices and a decrease in consumer attention spans" (USAToday.com. October 10, 2006. PP. 1). Bob Gamgort, President of MasterFoods indicates that "the average American is exposed to 650 advertising messages a day" (Peebles, Ellen. October 2003 P. 32), however; that number may be drastically low, as a second estimate pegs the figure at 3,000 to 5,000 a day (USAToday.com. October 10, 2006. PP. 2). Regardless of which figure is correct, Bryant's marketing team must find innovative ways to compete in an ad frenzied environment; leading to the question of the efficacy of Laura's product placement/ celebrity endorser idea.

A single photograph - how it is captured, the angle in which it was shot, the context behind it - can alter the perception of reality. One image, if executed maliciously, can create such an intense pernicious effect on the individual photographed, that it can cause undue effects on their reputation, or even psychological state. Celebrities often find themselves victimized by the paparazzi in this way, and breakdowns due to a negative appearance in the spotlight have become prevalent in modern day socialite culture. Today, with everything just a click away, it is surprisingly easy to find intimate details of a celebrity’s life, and even easier to find incriminating photos with falsified headlines. The paparazzi has a negative connotation in society, and has generated an aversive effect on celebrities, because they have fabricated images with negative portrayals of celebrities, impeded on a celebrity’s right to privacy, and appropriated a celebrity’s fame in order achieve material that is deemed as newsworthy.

This bond that is created between the viewer and a celebrity helps understand the effectiveness that endorsements have where marketers have failed. 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. These three steps not only

In the modern America, there are many celebrities who are very popular of their own fame, but not famous for their skills on their industries. To list the famous celebrities: Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber, and Kim Kardashian. These three celebrities are very popular for being famous on TVs that fame could come from bad or good images. They are well known for their lack of personalities than their achievements in the celebrity lives. For an example, Justin Bieber has many male anti-fans who hates him for his personalities or lack of musical skills, and maybe some are just jealous of Justin's fame because he got popular so quickly on the internet. These ideas go same as the other two celebrities that I mentioned, yet, Kim and Paris are also well known for the leaked sex tapes that issued the whole world because they have the attractive physical bodies that everyone looks for when looking at a female celebrity.

Celebrity culture is a growing issue that has been cultivated by the prosperity of social media in the modern world. Celebrity culture effects society in many different ways both positive and negative, such as celebrities being portrayed as role models in the media, and corporations using celebrity endorsement to gain clients from the existing fans of the celebrity used. The first article, titled ‘Celebrity, youth culture and the question of role models’ discusses how celebrities are portrayed as good and bad role models in the media based upon previous actions. The author of the editorial piece was ‘Kirsty Fairclough’ who published the article to ‘The Conversation’ on September 15, 2015. Fairclough takes the side of celebrities being irresponsible and not set for being role models of growing teenagers, as well as this, celebrities set extreme unreachable standards of physical beauty resulting in mental illness. The second article, authored by ‘George Monbiot’ is titled ‘Celebrity culture isn’t just harmless fun – it’s the smiling face of the corporate machine’. The opinion piece was published in ‘The Guardian’ on the 21st of December 2016. It debates the effectiveness of celebrity endorsement by large corporations in an attempt to reach out to existing fans of the celebrity. The third piece takes the form of a magazine cover from the magazine ‘Who’, the magazine publication was released on the 23rd of October 2017.

Brands have been influence celebrity appearance for a long time. Across categories, whether in products or services, many brands are investing on the bunch appeal of celebrities locally and also internationally. Once a new face enters the popularity charts, advertisers’ line up to have it marked all over. The benefit of celebrity endorsements can be justified by the following advantages by using celebrities on the overall brand. First benefit is Establishment of Credibility. In establishment of credibility, approval of a brand by a star fosters a sense of trust for that brand among the target audience- this is especially true in case of new products. Again as mentioned earlier, we have the Corneto Walls ice cream campaign. At launch, Akim and Stacy endorsed Corneto ice cream to share with the loves ones and this ensured that brand awareness was created in a market, to people which did not even know the brand. Secondly, Ensured Attention which ccelebrities make sure the attention of the target group by dividing the confusion of advertisements and making the advertisement and the brand more visible and understandable. Furthermore, PR coverage is one of the advantages for using celebrities. Managers perceive celebrities as current and up to date, which create high public relation coverage.

How sad if this is actually true, if a celebrity decides to downgrade a teenager for a diasblity they can't control. First off individuals with autism and all other disablities are actually smarter than you may believe. They see this world for what it really is and more. I am tired of people making it seem like being different is a bad thing when actually normality is. A lot of disabled individuals are in college, have a family, and some are wealthy despite they're disablities. For you to point out they're dissimilarity between what you feel is acceptable and what they are is a

Celebrities consult with marketing agents who uses three strategy efforts for personal branding. First, the pure selling approach where “an agent presents a client’s qualifications to potential buyers until he or she finds one who is willing to act as an intermediary” (Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2016). Second, the product improvement approach where “an agent works with the client to modify certain characteristics that will increase his or her market value” (Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2016). And third, the market fulfillment approach where “an agent scans the market to identify unmet needs. After identifying a need, the agent then finds a person or group that meets a set of minimum qualifications and develops a new product” (Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2016).

My sincere thanks to Ms. Kokil Jain ,my Marketing teacher for giving me an opportunity to work on this project whereby I was given a chance to study the impact of celebrity endorsement as a source of brandbuilding and on consumers buying behavior which helped me to increase the span of my knowledge and developed my thinking on more practical lines.
