What
meanings does celebrity endorsement bring to the brand in this advert?
This advert of Tag
Heuer is endorsed by Tiger Woods world champion of golf, he has been recorded
has the player of the year for eleven years, making him a successful sportsman
having a long life span, this can be significant towards Tag Heuer as being a
long lasting, champion, watch of all time like tiger woods. Targeting at most
male that are currently climbing to their career success, aiming to be as
successful as Tiger Woods. Making tiger woods as the leader to aspire to, with
the slogan of “what are you made of?” also illustrates the pervious point of
how this watch that Tiger Woods wear symbolize the success you can achieve with
the watch, and also for those are already as “well made” as Tiger Woods, this
is the watch that is made for them, that supports their identity, and status.
With Tiger Woods face looking straight in to the camera with a very slight
smile, can also supports the brand identity of Tag Heuer being confident,
simplistic but classic like the clothes of tiger wood that is wearing in this
advert.
In 2009 Tiger Woods was accused of having an external affair
with a new york city night club manager, at the end of the year over a dozen
of women claimed in the media that they have had affairs with Tiger Woods. As
this is not the brand identity of Nike as being, not trust worthy, not loyal,
and does not care about their family. Tiger Woods was successful in
advertisement endorsement, not only because of his talents in gold, but also
his image of a good dad, family image. Therefore Nike was under pressure of
dropping him as their endorser. Nike did not dropped him is because of the
cheating he did was not on the sports aspect, Nike turned their direction from
a family guy image, towards a fully altheltic image, as a recent Tiger Woods
slogan in Nike has said, ”Winning takes care of everything.”
