Expert endorsement : A product recommendation by someone presented as having relevant professional knowledge. Expertise can provide product-specific authority where celebrity fame alone may not.

Source credibility : A communicator’s perceived expertise and trustworthiness in a particular context. Consumers’ beliefs about a celebrity’s credibility shape how persuasive an endorsement can be.
Product placement : The inclusion of branded products or services within entertainment content. Celebrity-led stories can expose brands through their characters, settings, or props.
Customer testimonial : A promotional statement in which a customer describes personal experience with a product or service. It offers consumer experience rather than a celebrity’s public persona as persuasive evidence.
Consumer attitude : A person’s favorable or unfavorable evaluation of a product, brand, or related idea. Endorsements seek to shift how consumers evaluate the associated brand.
