Probably yes. I mean, when I see an advertisement and my favorite celebrities are endorsing the product, I feel like, well, my favorite people are still using this product, and if I bought it and used it, I would be as cool as them. So, I'm a person who is highly influenced by advertisements. I'm the kind of person who would probably buy a product advertised after watching something I'm interested in.
