Many studies have been carried out on the effectiveness
of celebrity endorser. However, the important role of
the degree of match-up between celebrity endorser and
advertised product was not spotlighted. That's the mediating
role between celebrity endorser's attributes and advertising
effectiveness. The hypothetical model focusing on the
mediating role of the degree of match-up was proposed
and tested by experiment using bogus advertisements.
In result, the hypothetical model proposed in this study
was valid at lagre, but several structural estimates
were not significant. Implications are as follows. The
degree of match-up can explain the impact of celebrity
endorser's attributes on advertising effectiveness comprehensively.
In practice, the degree of match-up will be very useful
in selecting fittest celebrity endorser for specific
product advertisements.keyword : celebrity endorser,
