I am a marketing senior at San Diego State University, and if I have learned one thing in my time here is how significant (if executed correctly and appropriately) of an impact a celebrity's image, or presence can be to a new product's launch, marketing campaign or transitioning a company's brand image. Imagine how saught after the Toyota Prius would be for females age: 16-25 if Paris Hilton all of a sudden started driving one, and claiming "its hot!" Now, maybe thats not a perfect fit, but it is certainly food for thought.
