摘要:This paper examines the attitude of a brand and its transference on the celebrity endorsing
the product. Past studies of celebrity endorsements have analyzed the effects of the celebrity on
the endorsed product but not the reverse transference. This study found that a celebrity’s overall
credibility, as well as expertise, is influenced by the perceived attitude toward a branded product.
Additionally, a poorly perceived brand may also influence a celebrity’s attractiveness and
trustworthiness negatively. However, it was found that a positively viewed brand does not
necessarily increase the same attributes of attractiveness and trustworthiness on a less admired
celebrity.
