6. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
Word of mouth is still the best way to promote, especially when it comes from a right
influencer. Even as an example if you keep on saying Nokia is a great brand, the colleague
around you may give a though to check that once, where digital branding may not
create that though to check.

9. DIFFERENCE B/W CELEBRITY
ENDORSEMENT & INFLUENCER
MARKETING
Celebrity endorsement attaches the fame of a celebrity
to a brand or product and they are not the one who are
expert in that field
Simply, Influencers are specialists. They are the who has
built communities around themselves in a very niche
space
Celebrity endorsements are meant to be seen, heard, but
not interacted with
Not the case here, there is generally two way
interaction or engagements
The celebrity is the face of a brand message.
In influencer marketing, the influencer is perceived to
be creator of the entire message.
