Abstract

Olay personal product performance data in 2011 showed that TOM of Olay brand was 3.8 lower than the advertising TOM 11.0, which means that consumer recall of Olay ad is much higher compared to its products itself, it means consumers are more aware of its brand than the product itself. This indicates a problem in the advertising effectiveness of the Olay brand. Based on these findings the research problem formulated is “How to improve the advertising effectiveness through advertising creative and advertising endorser by taking advertising attractiveness factor into account.”

To answer the problem, data about the credibility of the endorser, advertising creativity, effectiveness of advertising, and advertising appeal is required.

While from hypothesis testing showed that all five hypotheses can be accepted and proven in this study, namely that the effectiveness of advertising is influenced by endorser credibility and advertising creativity and advertising attractiveness is influenced by endorser credibility, advertising creativity, and advertising attractiveness.
