(Celebrity marketing also known as celebrity endorsement) This piece synthesizes Iranian and international empirical research, recent regulatory signals, and contemporary case evidence (including the Pejman Jamshidi episode covered by MyIndustry) to offer an operational playbook brands can use to reduce risk while keeping the benefits of celebrity-driven campaigns.

Several Iran-based studies find that celebrity credibility, perceived authenticity and congruence with brand values predict positive brand attitudes and purchase interest. These effects are especially strong where institutional trust is low and consumers rely on familiar public figures as heuristics for quality and trustworthiness.
