A New Trend in Advertising

Big brands are spending a lot of money on celebrities for their ads. They are putting more cash into famous faces while making fewer commercials. This is what a new study found.

Key Findings

The study looked at thousands of ads and payments made from 2019 to 2025. It showed that brands spent over $1 billion on celebrities in 2025. This is a huge jump from 2019.

Who Are These Celebrities?

Celebrities include:

  • Actors
  • Musicians
  • Athletes
  • Other well-known people

Brands are paying them a lot to appear in ads. This shows how important celebrities are in advertising.

Why the Shift?

Maybe because people pay more attention to ads with famous faces. Or maybe because celebrities can make products seem more exciting.

Fewer Commercials, Bigger Investments

However, brands are making fewer commercials. This means they are focusing their money on fewer but bigger ads. They are investing more in each ad to make it stand out.

Questions to Consider

This trend raises questions:

  • Is spending more on celebrities really worth it?
  • Do people actually buy more because of famous faces in ads?

These are things to think about.
