To begin Jozui states that, “Advertisers frequently use the testimony of a celebrity to support a claim”. I most definitively agree, for example as an avid TV watcher I have seen a good amount of commercials and whenever there is a big company (Pepsi) trying to promote a new product, there is almost always a celebrity in the ad.
