Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender como ocorre o processo de celebrificação – isto é, a transformação de uma pessoa em celebridade – na internet. Para investigar este fenômeno, optou-se pelo estudo do caso da cantora de forró Stefhany do CrossFox, cujo clipe amador da música “Eu Sou Stefhany”, disponibilizado no YouTube, foi reproduzido e comentado amplamente em sites, blogs e redes sociais após ser postado no Papel Pop, em 2009. Neste blog, de 5 de fevereiro de 2009 (primeira postagem) a 9 de novembro de 2011 (última postagem), foram publicadas 24 notas sobre a trajetória da carreira da jovem, de onde foram coletados todos os 2.611 comentários feitos nestes posts. Estes comentários compuseram o corpus da pesquisa, ao qual foi aplicada a técnica da análise de conteúdo para mapear dados sobre o processo de celebrificação pelo qual Stefhany passou. Para a análise das informações coletadas neste mapeamento, foram utilizadas quatro categorias. A primeira categoria – que trata da descentralização midiática da internet e seus canais de publicação, o que possibilita a circulação de conteúdos e personagens amadores – apresenta como Stefhany despertou interesse a partir da primeira nota postada a seu respeito na rede pelo Papel Pop. Na segunda categoria, analisa-se como Stefhany chamou a atenção dos leitores pela sua performance neste vídeo (coreografias, roupas, locações, a letra da música e outros elementos da gravação), o que fez com que ela se tornasse assunto das conversações. Na terceira etapa, examina-se a atuação do blog como plataforma midiática que deu grande visibilidade à cantora e a popularidade do blogueiro neste processo. Relata-se também como o digital trash – linguagem com que o blog e Stefhany são identificados – funciona como atrativo para a leitura do Papel Pop e na mobilização em torno dos personagens e produções nele expostas. Na quarta categoria, sob a perspectiva performática, é analisado como o posicionamento dos leitores (ao discutirem entre si a performance da cantora e dados referentes à jovem) fez com que Stefhany fosse situada no centro das atenções. Os resultados deste estudo apontam para a internet e seus canais de publicação como plataformas de visibilidade onde personagens anônimos – a partir do interesse, da mobilização e das conversações que despertam em torno de si pelas suas performances – são transformados em celebridades do meio, como ocorreu com Stefhany do CrossFox. / This work aims to understand how the process of internet celebrification occurs – that is, the transformation of a person in a celebrity in the internet. To investigate this phenomenon, was chosen the case study on the forró singer Stefhany do CrossFox (Stefhany of CrossFox), whose amateur video clip of the song “Eu Sou Stefhany” (I Am Stefhany), available on YouTube, was widely reproduced and commented on websites, blogs and social networks after being posted on Papel Pop in 2009. In this blog, from February 5, 2009 (the first post) to November 9, 2011 (the last post), 24 notes were published on the career trajectory of the young woman, from where were collected all the 2.611 comments of these posts. These comments are the research corpus, on which was applied the content analysis technique to map data on the celebrification process through which Stefhany went. For the analysis of information collected on this mapping, we used four categories. The first category - that deals with the media decentralization of the Internet and its publishing channels, allowing the movement of amateur content and characters – presents how Stefhany has sparked interest from the first note about her posted on web by Papel Pop. In the second category, was analyzed how Stefhany caught the attention of readers from her performance in this video (choreography, clothes, locations, the lyrics and other elements), what made her to become the conversations subject. In the third step, was examined the role of the blog as a media platform which gave great visibility to the singer, as well as the popularity of the blogger in this process. It was also reported how the digital trash - language with which the blog and Stefhany are identified - works as an attraction for the reading of the Papel Pop and the mobilization around the characters and products exposed on the blog. In the fourth category, under the performative perspective was analyzed how the players positioning (when discussing among themselves about the singer's performance and related information on the young woman) have situated Stefhany in the center of attention. The results of this study point to the internet and its publishing channels as visibility platforms where anonymous characters – from the interest, the mobilization and the conversations they create around themselves because of their performances – are turned into celebrities of that medium, as it happened with Stefhany do CrossFox.

O presente estudo buscou entender a influência da utilização da celebridade Gisele Bundchen em anúncios de propaganda no comportamento do consumidor por meio de uma das técnicas de Neuromarketing: o eye tracking. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa objetivou analisar se é realmente importante a presença da celebridade em propagandas de anúncio impresso analisada sob o ponto de vista do Neuromarketing por meio da análise da atenção visual ao estímulo \'celebridade\'. Para a verificação dos objetivos, das hipóteses e da proposição advindas destes objetivos, foi empregada uma metodologia em que se buscou avaliar a atenção visual dos consumidores acerca do estímulo \'celebridade\' em relação aos demais estímulos presentes nos anúncios impressos como a logomarca, nome ou símbolo que representa a marca; o produto; e outras pessoas não famosas. Essa avaliação foi realizada por meio da técnica de Neuromarketing que utiliza o equipamento de eye tracking. Assim, os participantes foram divididos em três grupos (um que avaliou os anúncios das seis marcas com a celebridade; o outro que avaliou os anúncios destas mesmas marcas com a presença de pessoas não famosas e um último grupo que avaliou os anúncios das marcas sem a presença de pessoas). No final do foi aplicado um questionário para confirmação de alguns dados e para análise em relação à lembrança da marca. Os resultados, no geral, demonstraram que, de alguma forma, os participantes prestaram atenção na celebridade considerada na pesquisa (o que foi evidenciado, principalmente, pelos mapas de calor apresentados). Quando as celebridades foram comparadas às pessoas não famosas, em alguns casos (com a confirmação de algumas hipóteses), foi evidenciada a importância da presença da celebridade; porém, em outros casos, houve mais destaque para a presença da pessoa não famosa. Na pesquisa ficou evidente, também, que a presença de pessoas (sendo elas celebridade ou não) pode atrapalhar no processo de atenção para a marca e o produto e que, quando não se utilizou pessoas, houve mais atenção dos participantes para estes outros estímulos. / This study intend to understand the influence of the use of celebrity Gisele Bundchen in advertising announcements on consumer behavior through one of Neuromarketing techniques: the eye tracking. Thus, this study aimed to analyze whether it is really important the presence of the celebrity in print ad advertisements analyzed from the point of view of Neuromarketing through analysis of visual attention to the stimulus \'celebrity\'. For the verification of goals, hypotheses and proposal arising from these, we used a methodology in which it sought to evaluate the visual attention of consumers about the stimulus \'celebrity\' in relation to other stimulis presents in print ads as the logo, name or symbol is the mark; the product; and non-famous people. This was accomplished by Neuromarketing technique which uses eye tracking device. The participants were divided into three groups (who evaluated the ads of six brands with celebrity, the other evaluating the ads these same brands with the presence of non-famous people and a last group that evaluated the announcements of the marks without the presence of people). At the end was applied a questionnaire to confirm some data and analysis regarding the brand recall. The results in general show, somehow, that the participants paid attencion to celebrity considered in the survey (which was evidenced mainly by heatmaps shown). When celebrities were compared to non-famous people, in some cases (with the confirmation of some hypotheses), the importance of the presence of celebrity was evident, however, in other cases, there was more emphasis on the presence of non-famous person. It was evident, too, that in the search, somehow, the presence of people (celebrity or not) can disrupt the process of attention to the brand and the product and that when not used people, there was more attention from participants to these stimuli.

The practice of celebrity endorsement has been widely adopted in advertising industries around the world. In the Chinese advertising world, celebrity endorsement has been a commonly used strategy since 2010. Celebrities from the entertainment and sports industries have been frequently employed to promote messages about advertised brands or products. This is a traditional way of celebrity endorsement. Recently, however, the development of new media has led to the emergence of self-made micro-celebrities, termed 'online influencers' in this dissertation. Facing the popularity of online influencers in the digital world, marketing communication practitioners have started using them to advertise brands and products, and to engage target audiences in advertisements. A new way of celebrity endorsement has developed. As a result, advertisers need to make decisions on whether to adopt traditional celebrity endorsement or online influencer endorsement. In this regard, it is necessary to figure out which celebrity endorsement method, traditional celebrity or online influencer endorsement, is more persuasive. Our study aims to explore how celebrity-audience relational motives (information, entertainment, and involvement motives) interact with celebrity endorser's typology (traditional celebrities or online influencers) to determine the persuasiveness of celebrity endorsement appeals in advertising. The study's conceptual framework hypothesized that celebrity-audience relational motives play a determining role in the audiences' attitudes toward celebrities, whereas celebrity typology adjusts the impact of celebrity-audience relational motives on the audience's attitude toward celebrities. Also, it was theorized that audiences' attitudes toward celebrities would influence the persuasiveness of advertisements containing celebrity endorsements. In this causal relationship, the celebrity-product fit moderates its impact. A mixed methodology was applied in this dissertation. The first method used was qualitative personal interviews, conducted with 15 Chinese respondents between August 2018 and February 2019. This exploratory study's purpose was to get audience's insights on their perceptions of traditional celebrity and online influencer endorsement, and to develop a conceptual framework based on the empirical data. Results in the first exploratory study revealed that compared with online influencers, a much closer relationship was found between interviewees and traditional celebrities. Also, the overall affective evaluation of traditional celebrities and their endorsement appeal was found to be more positive than that of online influencers. The second study confirms that celebrity-audience relational motives significantly determine the audience's attitude toward celebrity endorsers. The stronger the relational motives are, the more positive audience's attitude could be. Besides, celebrity typology effectively moderates the impact of entertainment motive on attitude toward celebrity endorsers. Moreover, if audiences evaluated celebrity endorsers positively, the persuasiveness of advertising with celebrity endorsement would be significantly improved on both affective and behavioral levels. Furthermore, the celebrity-product fit further enhances the advertising persuasiveness. Based on the findings, theoretical and marketing communication implications are suggested to enlighten communication practitioners on how to select celebrity endorsers and what factors to consider to guarantee the persuasiveness of advertising through celebrity endorsement appeals.
