Recommended: Background of the study on the effects of advertising on consumer behaviour

Literature has laid a great importance of advertisement on the behavioral aspects of consumers. Different variables like sex portrayals, ad content, repetition of ad, feelings from ad and celebrity endorsement are going to be tested with attitude towards the advertisement and finally the attitude towards the advertisement’s relationship with the purchase intention will be illuminated. So far in the literature (Ilicic and Webster, 2011) while explaining the effect of celebrity being used in an advertisement said that if the celebrity is well known and at the same time the celebrity is endorsing multiple brands, it would eventually lead towards the decrement of purchase intention.
