The Moderating Impact of Cognitive Complexity and Need For Cognition on the “Match-Up” Effect in Celebrity Endorsement
The precept that a celebrity should “match-up” with the brand endorsed is pervasive despite strong contradictory empirical evidence from product categorization and advertising. It is empirically shown that if consumers have the motivation to solve the incongruence (i.e., high need for cognition) and a solution within reach (i.e., a cognitively complex endorser), incongruent endorsements yield favorable evaluations.
