Presenter Effects in Advertising: the Viscap Model
ABSTRACT - The choice of presenters in advertisements requires a great deal of care. The VisCAP Model (Rossiter & Percy, 1997, pp. 260-268) provides a mechanism for evaluating the Visibility of an endorser along with Credibility, Attractiveness, and Power, among target audiences. Presenter characteristics should align with the communication effects that need to be boosted. The manager should seek a presenter who offers a profile of characteristics that have positive hooks to the targeted communication objectives and is not negative on others. This paper presents new data supporting this position and suggests a possible resolution of the theoretical differences in presenter psychology.
