Question 1

How does MAD Influence select the right celebrity for my brand?

Accepted Answer

We start with a deep brand audit — mapping your positioning, target demographics, and campaign goals. From there, our team runs an audience-overlap analysis across our 50+ celebrity roster to shortlist names whose fan base, values, and public persona genuinely align with yours. We prioritise strategic fit over headline-grabbing fame, so every partnership drives measurable results rather than just awareness.

Question 2

Which celebrities are available for India and UAE campaigns?

Accepted Answer

For Indian markets, our network spans Bollywood A-listers, IPL cricket stars, OTT personalities, and regional-language celebrities across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Marathi entertainment. For UAE and MENA, we work with Arab-world personalities, South Asian diaspora stars popular in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and cross-cultural icons who resonate with Gulf audiences. We can brief you on availability and rates during an initial discovery call.

Question 3

How long does it take to launch a celebrity endorsement campaign?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by complexity, but a typical campaign moves from brief to live in 4–8 weeks. This covers talent shortlisting and negotiation (1–2 weeks), contract signing and creative development (1–2 weeks), and production and platform rollout (1–3 weeks). Rush timelines for topical or festive campaigns can be accommodated, though lead time should be at least 2–3 weeks for quality output.

Question 4

How do you protect brand safety throughout the partnership?

Accepted Answer

Brand safety is built into every stage. Before any talent is presented, we conduct a reputation audit — reviewing the celebrity's recent public statements, past controversies, and social media sentiment. Contracts include morality clauses, content approval rights, and exclusivity provisions relevant to your category. Our team monitors the partnership actively throughout the campaign, ready to respond if circumstances change.

Question 5

Can a celebrity campaign run across multiple platforms at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — and multi-platform execution is where celebrity campaigns deliver the strongest returns. We coordinate simultaneous rollouts across Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, and traditional media such as TV and print, ensuring consistent messaging with platform-native creative. For major product launches, we layer social content with press coverage and event appearances for maximum impact.

Question 6

What does MAD Influence's celebrity endorsement service cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on the celebrity's market rate, the scope of deliverables, exclusivity requirements, and campaign duration. Celebrity fees in India typically range from ₹5 lakh for emerging regional stars to several crores for top Bollywood or cricket personalities. Our agency fee covers talent sourcing, negotiation, creative direction, and campaign management. We provide transparent cost breakdowns in every proposal so there are no surprises.
