Page 10: brand personality (amitabh bachan)

MARKETERS LEVERAGING CELEBRITY APPEAL

As soon as a new face ascends the popularity charts, advertisers queue up to have it splashed all over.

Spectacular rise of Sania Mirza and Irfan Pathan in endorsements.

Multiple celebrities are endorsing one brand and super celebrities are promoting several products.

Page 11: brand personality (amitabh bachan)

A UNIQUE PHENOMENON

Sportsperson retires or the actors loses charm at the box-office or the TRPs of the TV programs come down, the endorsements also dwindle.

Amitabh Bachchan is an exception to this normal life cycle of a celebrity in terms of endorsements. His best days at the box-office are well behind, yet, his endorsements do not seem to stop.

Page 12: brand personality (amitabh bachan)

UNBLEMISHED PERSONALITY Cadbury's exploited this

strength of his well. Controversy of worm-infested packs. One of its responses to regain public confidence was to show him visiting its plants and vouching for the safety of chocolates in a commercial.

Nerolac Paints leveraged his credibility by having him assure the audience, `Hum keh rahe hain' in its commercials.

Page 13: brand personality (amitabh bachan)

Eveready's torchlight Jeevan Saathi revolved around the product as a dowry item, Amitabh put his foot down and refused to endorse it.

Campaigns for Pulse Polio, Unicef and People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) featured him prominently to have a big impact on the audience.

Page 14: brand personality (amitabh bachan)

THE CRITICAL ISSUES

His endorsements cost between Rs 5 crore and Rs 12 crore.

MNC’s with deep pockets such as Pepsi, have Amitabh as a brand ambassador and renewing the contract is affordable.

But ICICI & Maruti did not renew there deal after it expired.

Overexposure, is the major issue.

Page 15: brand personality (amitabh bachan)

The enigma of his personality faces the risk of being unraveled.

Exclusivity can no longer be associated with him.

The audience gets confused when the same celebrity plugs many brands.

Page 16: brand personality (amitabh bachan)

MARKETERS AT CROSSROADS

The challenge for marketers is - how to stretch such a widely leveraged personality?

How does one ensure that

the enormous amounts invested in this expensive brand ambassador are well-utilized?
