Behind a Not-so-Genuine Image

When celebrities endorse products, other than keeping up to the contract, the highest demand is for the celebrity to be a patron of the product, especially when he/she is in public.

Nowadays, celebrities are technologically adept. As such, part of their packaging is defined by how they conduct themselves in public and virtually in various forms of media. For example, some of them have gained fame and/or notoriety over twitter, instagram, or facebook. Their presence and behavior in these media undeniably help ignite and fuel public interest in them, particularly on what they post on a regular basis.

Celebrity Endorser (CE) is no different as she is very active in interacting with people in both traditional and virtual media. However, unlike most of her colleagues, CE is articulate, credible and sincere - the very requirements to be an effective product endorser.

At present, CE is an endorser of an electronic brand, in particular a gadget which is as famous as its next competitor, but not yet as popular among the hip generation. CE was actively promoting the brand in social media and declaring her pride in being chosen to be part of it and its campaign. Imagine the surprise and dismay of some of her followers when they saw CE using the competitor’s mini product while she was in a high-end mall.

Smart as she is, surely CE knows that acceptable endorser's demeanor in public is the gauge and/or barometer by which she or anyone like her would be judged. Such is critical to her image and the product/s that she endorses. Anyone in advertising will tell that amongst all prerequisites, a star's credibility is what makes the cut.

Lucky for CE, no one has yet snapped a photo of her tinkering with the competitor's item and posted it online. Otherwise, that would be her biggest gaffe.

    ReplyDelete
  35. malakas ang raket nitong si B... Di ba may A version naman ang ineendorse niya?

    ReplyDelete
  36. B is not that st*pid to go to a mall and display the gadget from a competitor of the brand she's endorsing! Insecure lang ang mga fans ng ibang celebrity sa kanya because B is being groom by A as the next QUEEN OF TALK! And sa dami ng mga endorsements niya she will soon be the QUEEN OF ENDORSEMENTS! IMO, siya ang dapat na Social Media Queen ng Pinas at hindi si A. Sa lahat ng celebrities, siya lang ang pinaka may sense mag tweet at may social relevance pa

  38. Nako ganyan naman ang mga celebs! Yung mga endorsers nung gawang pinoy na cellphone i doubt kung ginagamit nga nila yung gadgets na yun in real life!

    ReplyDelete
  39. busted si b. niluluko lang ang tao.

    ReplyDelete
  40. are you really sure that it's the mini product? since the bi is telling that the product is not yet as popular among the hip generation, then they might have mistaken it with the competitor since the two look almost alike when i checked it on the internet. just saying...

    ReplyDelete
  41. She's a brand ambassador of the fruity smartphone's rival but she's not endorsing its entire range of products - she's the brand ambassador of its the digital appliances, the inverter refs in particular. So I don't see the conflict.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Correct!! People are just so fickle minded and ignorant about certain things little as that, that they dont think of certain "lines" that a brand has. They assume right away and judge a person/endorser. Do you even know what is stated on her contract before you began to say things such as shes a fake on her endorsement? Think first.

      Delete
    2. You're wrong. She is, according to her IG post, the "proud" endorser of the particular new 8 tablet of fruity's rival, but she was seen at the mall using the fruity's pad mini.

  53. B has no IG app and Mansanas has but please take note hindi sila competitors. mansanas versus S -milky way. so from this, hulaan nyo sino si morenang endorser na may love affair daw sa kanyang tablet but she's using a mini haha:)

  55. The product she is endorsing and the mini version of the competitor look very similar. Even down to the color. Baka naman nagkamali lang yung nakakita. I don't think B is that careless especially with such a big endorsement.

  62. si B ito na border dati.... :-)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Thanks for the clues (initials).

    I don't like her. Siya iyong pangit ang katawan kahit payat naman at saka siya iyong pangit ang balat. Di ba uso o tumatalab ang lotion at gluthathione sa kanya? At saka what's with her shoulders ba kahit anong ganda ng damit parang ewan lang pag sinuot na niya? LOL

    Sayang ang endorsements niya, di siya sulit. Magaling kasi maglako ang manager niya - si kalbong bakla na super lakas sa isang station na trying hard sumali sa news and public affairs.

    Solo na niya ang mga endorsements since iyong ka-classmate niya (ka-peg) niyang hosts din eh nagober da bakod na sa isang channel simula ng asawahin si liver lover boy. Buti naman, mas I don't like her iyon. LOL
