The Power of Celebrity Endorsements in Social Media Marketing

Turn on the TV, check Facebook, look at an ad in print or online and there's a good chance you'll see a celebrity endorsing a product. This very common marketing practice has been around for decades and has only picked up more traction in today's social media driven environment. Add to our culture's fascination with celebrities and their lives, social media has enabled many people to connect and keep up with their favorite celebs on a daily basis.

The Celebrity Culture

We live in a world which is based on illusion and perception. We are obsessed by the way other people live and look. We look enviously at the world of celebrity, and we wish that we had their lives instead of our own. This is amplified tenfold when we see how people look on the covers of the multitude of magazines out there. Beautiful faces and bodies grace magazine covers and advertisements.

The Stresses Of Celebrity Life

How Celebrity is Celebrity

What really makes a celebrity a true celebrity? Is it the news coverage? The pursuit of tabloids? Perhaps sheer popularity is what drives us to call movie stars, musicians, and politicians celebrities. If that is the case, are the non-traditional stars celebrities as well?

The algorithm takes into consideration the amount and timing of news items pertaining to celebrities as well as the popularity of the celebrity as a portion of online portfolios. But does this adequately measure the amount o...
