For youngsters, Brand Ambassadors are of two kinds. One that they can connect with in the brand story & can see a little of themselves in that person. The other type is an aspirational figure (such as a bollywood icon) where there is the admiration or a wow factor, but no personal connect.

The effectiveness of both types is product / brand specific & both have their own set of pros and cons. However having a celebrity youth icon gives you the momentary attention.

So, according to you who is the most influential face for a brand??

A Quality Product

idea posted by Ravindra Sharma Managing Consultant, CHEF-India

A Quality Product does not require crooning as it has the power to represent on strengths of customer appreciation.

Anyone who has the power to turn on the consumer minds.Every individual needs success in their life. And any successful person endorsing a product can easily influence the consumer in their buying decisions.

Brand Name, Logo, Quality, Service are the main drivers of the Brand. EG: - Apple (Are they having any Brand Ambassador for India?) Brand Image is the most influential face for Brand. New idea is to create a theme as per the product & include good humor or emotion with proper one liner & good piece of music. The Best Ad in recent times is of the Cadbury’s.

Perfect theme with good acting & perfect emotions for replacing Mithai with their SKU’s.

Hello Sunita, Consumer will select the Quality Product and not the brand. Ambassadors only influence to choose the product/brand depending upon the customers requirement and the budget.

The most influential face for a brand is the product itself. If the product does not do well, the customer may buy the product initially based on the celebrity appeal but subsequently he will switch the brand. In some cases like lifestyle brands which are based on perception, a celebrity may be able to swing the sales slightly. 

In order for the product to sell more or improve sales, other layers of marketing channels may be added like celebrity endorsements, free offers, discounts, etc.

However, the core factor is that if the product/service is not good as perceived and experienced by the customer, it is not practical to subscribe to that brand based on hype.....

MS Dhoni

idea posted by Sunita Mohapatra Product/Brand Manager, Tata Motors

I think MS Dhoni is the most influential person for a brand. People blindly follow Dhoni & are likely to follow the brand that he endorses. Moreover brand Dhoni is the most happening brand in the industry.

Thus Dhoni is the most suitable face for a brand..

Even though the product is qualitative, it doesn't fetch the attention of market alone,,, it should be accompanied by a well known face. and obviously Dhoni can be picked to be that face

We have seen in many Ads that Kids are used for being a natural one. In every second Ad we can see kids. Even with popular person too i.e. kajol, amitabh, srk, Aamir, sachin etc etc...

*Brand quality with creative ad

idea posted by anish kumar O&M Hub Lead (KL & TN Circle), TVS interconnect systems

I feel creative ad cuts into the mind of people rather than some celebrity face

Product & Service

idea posted by Kashif Billal Training & Induction Manager, H&M Hennes & Mauritz

Technically speaking, Product is the real hero of this game. While the Brand Ambassador keeps coming and going, its solely the Product which remains there. So we cannot say that X, Y or Z is the Best Person. Its the Rite Person at the Rite time and with the Rite Brand.

Brand Needs face for Identity bt at the end of the days face can vary from brand to brand

idea posted by Tejaswi Dubey CEO, Aastha HR Solution/www.aasthahrsolutiuon.com
Face can be vary bcoz its entirely depend upon the product classifications which face can represent our brand.in some of the products we can see to promote we dnt need ant face just bcoz of the quality of products ant related or ordinary face endorse the brand. Like Johnson & johnson they never call any brand ambessador to promote thier brandrather than they are clicking the psychology of people & promoting mother & child relation. So a good sentiment realted to the brand & related personality represent the brand successfully
