Explain how do you believe celebrity endorsements influence consumer decisions

The Celebrity Davie Brown Index (DBI) is an independent index for brand marketers and agencies that determines a celebrity’s ability to influence brand affinity and consumer purchase intent. The DBI provides brand marketers with a systematic approach for quantifying and qualifying the use of celebrities in marketing campaigns by evaluating a celebrity’s awareness, appeal and relevance to a brand’s image and their influence on consumer buying behavior. Created by the entertainment practice of The Marketing Arm, a leading entertainment marketing and promotion agency, the Celebrity DBI includes more than 2,800 celebrities and is powered by a 4.5-million domestic consumer research panel.
