The iPhone’s “buzz” got a bump after Apple started using celebrities in its Siri ads
But a new YouGov BrandIndex survey suggests that Apple marketing may still know how to do its job.
According to a report issued Tuesday, the Siri ads featuring Deschanel and Jackson coincided with a boost for the iPhone brand among the all-important demographic of 18-34 year old Americans:
“Just as the new Siri campaign premiered on April 19th, iPhone’s buzz score in the 18 – 34 demo was 16, several points below Android’s 26 score. Five days later, iPhone’s buzz score passed Android, 30 vs. 29… The iPhone’s buzz score peaked on May 4th with a 51 score, while Android moved a couple of points down to 27.”
Both men and women responded positively to the ads, according to YouGov, but men registered the strongest push.

This is very true though! People are more likely to find a companies product appealing when it is promoted by respected and talented celebrities like Zooey Deschanel and Samuel L. Jackson.
I agree especially because Zooey Deschanel has impacted the stereotypical women since she has gained so much popularity through her personality and quirkiness rather than using her appearance. I think that the spike in iPhone sales, although along with the other ads, is such an example of how a woman can impact society using her attitude and strong will.
