London, England (PRWEB UK) 21 July 2015 -- London School of Marketing (LSM), a leading institution offering accredited marketing and business qualifications in the heart of London, has released its latest whitepaper titled The Power of Celebrity Endorsement Today. Of value to marketers at all levels, this whitepaper explores the state of celebrity endorsement including its benefits and the risks involved when things go wrong.
"Celebrity endorsement has long been a time-honoured strategy for drawing attention to a brand," the whitepaper states. "The practice of celebrity endorsements has come a long way since its inception, with significant shifts in both the advertising and celebrity worlds opening up a range of new possibilities."
Complementing a wealth of free downloadable marketing resources, this whitepaper details the history of celebrity endorsement and explores the ways in which it has evolved.
