Celebrity Endorsements Vs. Campaign Objectives:
Vodafone positioning its brand as the leader in Egypt’s highly developed telecom sector and might get negative wave of criticism for choosing Fifi Abdou but whether you like her or not, you have got to admit that Fifi Abdou has succeeded in the past few years of becoming a sensational public figure, with 1.7 million Instagram follower.
What is the target audience perception of the featured advert celebrities?
Celebrity endorsements have potential disadvantages when applied based on market insights.
