Implications - Celebrities are always at the forefront of fashion, market changes and other products, but they always seem out of reach for the average person. This creates an opportunity for businesses to relate and connect with celebrities and see them in a more likeable way. Businesses can take advantage of this by marketing their spokesmen to be more relatable and therefore more influential on the consumer.
