This trend has gone from product advertising to service advertising and even ideas. Telecommunication companies, food manufacturing companies as well as companies manufacturing skincare products have all joined.

This article therefore reviews the use of celebrities in advertising alcoholic beverages. Empirical reviews show that the use of celebrities has impact in advertising and sales of product. In light of the analysis, the researchers conclude that celebrities add color to the power of advertising.
