Ernest Owens also has multiple endorsements with other companies as well. 

At a press conference, Ernest quoted “ I’m excited to be endorsing fast food. If you look at the majority of the top brands in the world, they all have one thing in common, an athlete. “Athlete Endorsements , when used effectively,will boost a company’s overall brand, identity and increase their public image. 

Ernest described McDonalds as ” McDonald’s is the most popular and common fast food in the USA and Canada. Its menu includes hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, French fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, shakes, and deserts and kid-friendly stuff like play places and happy meals. They all taste great. “Athlete endorsements can enhance a company’s entire brand, identity, and public image when done correctly.Having an athlete with millions of followers on social media helps the company gain access to an already established audience, which in turn helps the brand.

As long as a business chooses the proper athlete to represent it, they can be sure that their target audience is one that is already familiar with their brand’s mission and values because they have chosen an athlete who shares those values with them.People assume that because celebrities have enormous bank accounts, they only buy, use and support high-quality items or services.

As long as a celebrity likes it, so should the rest of us. Product sales have been boosted via social media. It’s getting harder and harder to stand out in a crowded advertising environment like Facebook, where there are millions of marketers. Seeing a post from a celebrity that consumers respect or follow is more likely to cause consumers to pause than a post from someone or something consumers have never heard of.

Using well-known celebrities eliminates a lot of the legwork and attracts a large audience. Other athletes who endorsed McDonalds were Charles Barkley, Kobe Bryant , Michael Jordan and many more.
