Celebrity endorsements not that useful

Advertising Age published an article today about the relative lack of effectiveness of advertisements with celebrities compared to non-celebrity ads.  The article discusses a study that showed Nike missed the mark with Tiger Woods’ come-back advertisement.

The article suggests that just because an ad is popular or memorable, it doesn’t mean that the brand message is being effectively communicated.  The writer explains that a poorly designed ad isn’t cured by simply sticking a celebrity in there.
