...industries became prosperous, and the international cosmetics brands occupied most of the market shares. This research focused on the relationships between the source credibility and other variables. This is the quantitative research, and 301 participants received the questionnaires. All of the participants were divided into two groups: the low- and high-source-credibility group. In H1, the source credibility was proved to have positive influence towards the purchase intention and product favorability. H2 was investigated that the audiences’ favorability to the overall advertisements can influence the purchase intention. However, in H3, this research cannot prove the dominant elements which can significantly influence the perceived price. Moreover, the separate dimensions of source credibility and overall source credibility showed different impacts towards the buying behavior. In conclusion, the celebrity endorsers with highly source credibility create positive associations and influences to the target audiences. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank...

These advertisements are ruining people’s lives. When children, teens, and even adults see advertisements they waste their money purchasing it. They think that since this celebrity has it they can too. They do not realize that they do not have the same amount of money that those people do. That is why people usually go into debt because they spend money they do not have on the product they desire. They need that product to experience. They only want it because someone else has it. For example, the old spice commercial they say if you wear their product it will bring you the attention of every “hot girl”. Now you and I both know that is not true, but you only buy it because it is on television. Even though that is not a bad, product to buy because you need that. It is the...

...Next, the soccer culture will be viewed from the player's perspective, in terms of: celebrities, deaths, ethnicity, and role models. When referring to the category of celebrities, it is important to note that players considered as celebrities are also known for their activities outside of their work and on the field. Having celebrity status means being hired by large sporting goods manufacturers to sponsor their products. Players such as world famous Pelé went on to become a UNICEF ambassador and even a spokesman in several large advertisements. Having soccer players like Pelé being the face of a campaign shines a whole new light on soccer and pulls even more people into the game. The British soccer player David Beckham is viewed as a trend-setter in England and across Europe, due to...

...A Study on How Celebrity Endorsers of Bench and Penshoppe Affect the Buying Behavior of Assumption Communication Students A Thesis Presented to The Department of Communication Assumption College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement For the Degree of Bachelor of Communication Major in Advertising Stephanie Rae D. Galeos Rameya Christelle C. Ramoso February 18, 2013 Chapter 1 The Problem and the Review of Related Literature Background of the Study Advertising is predominant to everyone. People are bombarded with advertisements. They rely on it; it makes their lives easier. Easier because they can get information from all the types of advertisements they see and hear everyday – print, billboards, online, television, radio, etc. Advertising can be perceived as an answer to one’s needs (basic and daily necessities) and wants (what they buy, but they do not need). Each of us is different, so we all have our perceptions toward a brand/product or other advertisements we see or hear. However, companies still look for the real reason why consumers buy, what they buy, and when they buy. This is because it will help them know what brand/product or service to offer in order to satisfy them, and possibly maybe, let them become loyal buyers/users. Consumers buy as they aim to satisfy their needs and wants. Consumer needs are their basic and daily necessities, while wants are the things they buy, but they do not really need, those which will improve/enhance...

...Katy Perry is the main face of Proactiv, P!nk is the face of Covergirl, Peyton Manning is the face of PaPa John’s Pizza and Nationwide Insurance, these are all reasons of why Sue Jozui is flustered with using celebrities as promoters for big companies. Sue Jozui in her passage claims that using a celebrity in an advertisement to further promote a product is an injustice to all consumer minds. She supports her point of view by first explaining that it could be misleading due to the misinterpretation purposefully brought to attention within the advertisement. She continues by asserting how it insults the mind of its buyers due to the mere fact of trying to persuade its audience with a famous subject. Advertisers who use celebrities as promotion of their product have a right to do so, due to the face of free market....

...their body. It has created the way people see an ideal physical appearance, which emphasises the shape and size of a man and/or woman (Diedrichs, Lewis-Smith & Paraskeva 2015). There was a study conducted by Australian Institute of Family Studies which surveyed 4,000 children. The study found out that more than half of the children from ages 8 to 11 years old wanted a slimmer body rather than an average one (Wilson 2014). There was also a study done by the King’s college London and Harvard, suggests that some children develop early body dissatisfaction due to the pressure received from media, family and peers (Fleig 2015). Another survey conducted by the Today Show and AOL.com discovered that 80% of teen girls compare themselves to celebrities and say that the images that they see make them feel displeased with their body (Common Sense Media 2015). This is alarming because children as young as 8 years old should not have to worry about how pleasing their body looks. Media exposure affects how children perceive their bodies and they can carry these perceptions about themselves when they get older. C. Facts Relevant to the Issue * The Australian Government was appointed by the National Advisory Group on Body Image in 2009 to develop a code to provide guidance on how they portray beauty in popular media called The Voluntary Code of Conduct on Body Image...

...Are famous people treated unfairly by the media? Should they be given more privacy, or is the price of their fame an invasion into their private lives? The question of unfair treatment of famous people by the media is one that cannot be easily answered without a close examination of all that is involved. Fame is a state of being well known either by one’s personality or a result of one’s accomplishments and cannot happen without the media. The media makes people famous. The world is now in an information age that is totally driven by the media. You view events happening around the world via satellite TV in the comfort of your living room; you get the latest gist and gossip on smart phones connected to the ubiquitous internet that is proliferated with social media like Facebook and Twitter; propagation of gossips has not been easier! Success, being synonymous with fame is something people naturally love to identify with. The most intricate affairs of successful people thus become goldmine of information for people who have made them role models. They believe they can also achieve success by patterning their lives after their models. Likewise, famous entertainers like the late Michael Jackson also are idolized especially by young people. The ‘wannabes’ of these entertainers will do whatever it takes to get information about what things make their favourite acts tick. On the other hand, the unhealthy secrets of the private lives of famous people make good sources of scandal...

...Research Hospital, both in Los Angeles. Both facilities cater to and are championed by Hollywood celebrities, so in many respects they are similar. Their positioning and differentiation is distinctive in other respects, however. This paper will examine the positioning and differentiation of both organizations, noting their similarities and differences. Cedars-Sinai can boast that “Many a star has been born, literally” there (“Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,” 2008). Its location, “where Los Angeles meets Beverly Hills and West Hollywood,” ensures that it serves movie stars and other Hollywood celebrities, and this visibility prompts exceptional care (“Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,” 2008). In addition to its star-studded patient list, the hospital is also known for being a teaching and research hospital that has approximately 600 different research programs (“Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,” 2008). Even its Board of Directors boasts such notables as Steven Spielberg and Sherry Lansing, and it enjoys celebrity supporters such as Barbra Streisand, Denzel Washington, Mel Gibson, and others (“Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,” 2008; “Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,” n.d.). Cedars-Sinai’s positioning and differentiation are both related to its celebrity image. It has positioned itself as the hospital to the stars by extending special privileges to stars at the expense of its ordinary, non-celebrity patients. It provides “private, 24-hour nurses, gourmet meals and, in adjacent rooms, plush beds...
