Celebrities create attention and bring prestige to brands, and may encourage higher recall (Erdogan, 1999; Tom et al.,
1992).

Kidman is looking nothing but Classy in the last Jimmy Choo campaign
Jimmy Choo’s new ad campaign featuring Nicole Kidman has a film noir feel — with a dash of the Hitchcock heroine. She’s no classy neither hot neither beautiful, she’s just Kidman and the next big actress of 2014 with the next multi million big production “Grace of Monaco” So Jimmy Choo doesn’t have to worry about if she’s terrible or sexy or not she’ll probably win an Oscar and she will wear Jimmy Choos shoes on red Carpet during an entire season of promotion. This mean big CASH !!!
Adidas Looks to Justin Bieber to Reach Teens
Justin Bieber turned 19 on March 1 and the grownup version of himself is a little different from the fresh faced youngster that a good chunk of female record buyers fell for back in 2009 when his first EP came out. Bieber may have apologized for the pot-smoking images, but he seems to be heading into another level of celebrity where he takes his Beliebers a little too much for granted and that’s not a good sign for Adidas, which signed Bieber on to be the Global Style Icon for its NEO line back in October. Last week the label released a new lookbook featuring Bieber trying to look tough and cool while wearing the apparel. (brandchannel.com)
