Framework for choosing a celebrity
All the above mentioned metrics
are to be considered while
selecting a celebrity endorser, but it is
nearly impossible to find a celebrity that scores perfectly in
all the areas.
Moreover our celebrity of choice may not always be available given the budget constraints
and schedule of the celebrity
Therefore we need to device a system
in which we can prioritize our needs
according to the above metrics
Also we need to decide how much weightage is to be
given to each factor.

Each category of factors is given a weightage according to importance
High category metrics are given a weightage of 0.5, medium 0.3 and low 0.2
For evaluating a celebrity, a scale of 1-10 is used with 10 being the highest
For every category a simple average score is calculated
A celebrity is scored on each metric and weighted average is calculated.
A score above 7.5 is good.
