?Beautiful and fresh-faced actress of the 1940s. This particular
picture is from Pepsodent ad. At the time, she was starring in "My Own
True Love". She really did have a Pepsodent Smile and young actor and
war hero Audie Murphy must have thought so too, as he made her his
bride off screen. She was discovered by a talent scout at junior high

Sachin Tendulkar - Colgate Total ? 2002
?During 2002, India's cricket captain, Sachin Tendulkar, was the
country's top brand endorser with 12 brands to his name ranging from
Pepsi and Colgate Total to Fiat Palio and Adidas. The survey showed
that in the case of cars, celebrity endorsers helped the brands attain
almost instant recall. The study also showed that consumers were not
na ve, and were able to identify a clear difference between a good
script and a good brand idea.?
http://www.biz-community.com/Article/196/82/3580.html
Is celebrity advertising effective?
December 05, 2003
?Think of Sachin Tendulkar. He means Pepsi in soft drinks, Boost in
malted beverages, MRF in tyres, Fiat Palio in cars, TVS Victor in
two-wheelers, Colgate Total in toothpastes, Britannia in biscuits,
Visa in credit cards, Airtel in mobile services and Band-aid.
Clearly, an overload of brands and categories associated with one star.?

commercial introduced her as "Martha Raye, actress and denture wearer"
- Martha then extolled the benefits of super-grip Polident.?
