Consumers selectively integrate perceived values and behavior of celebrities they admire, to build and communicate their own identity. Celebrity endorser is a person who enjoys high reputation and prestige, beeing known to most people. Celebrity endorsement is a relevant strategy for the product categories which improve the image (such as fashion, perfumes or cosmetics).

Celebrity endorsement has become one of the communication strategies used in marketing to build congruence between brand image and consumers. Famous persons exert their influence on consumer through perceived attributes such as expertise, trustworthiness, attractiveness, familiarty and likeability.
