  • Celebrity Endorsers Vs. Social Influencers Vrinda Soma a Thesis
    Celebrity Endorsers vs. Social Influencers Vrinda Soma A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Business (MBus). 2019 Faculty of Business, Economics and Law 1 Abstract The purpose of this research is to measure how effective social influencers and celebrity endorsers are in persuading individuals to like, purchase and/or share information about a brand or specific product. Previous literature has discussed how different source characteristics and endorsers influence individuals. However, rapid change in information and communication channel evolution means that the research on endorsements conducted before social media channels arose is in need of updates and extensions to examine how current forms of communication drive brand conversations. Source characteristics impact how a social influencer or celebrity endorser is effective when communicating to an audience. In the endorsement setting, the most important attributes are trustworthiness, expertise, attractiveness, authenticity and credibility (Erdogan, 1999). As the literature shows, these attributes are the most likely to contribute to attitude change and eventual behaviour change (Erdogan, 1999; Kapitan & Silvera, 2016). These attributes have been individually studied for celebrity endorsers (i.e., Erdogan, 1999), however, the rise of online social influencers makes it important to re-evaluate and compare and contrast social influencers and celebrity endorsers so that brands, endorsers and researchers have a better understanding of what viewers are looking for. Two areas of interest drive the quantitative research undertaken in this thesis: (1) an evaluation between attitudes generated by social influencers and celebrity endorsers and (2) the willingness to purchase an endorsed product or brand depending on endorser type.
