Quantitative research methods were used, involving online surveys and structured interviews with consumers who have experience with brands that involve celebrity endorsements. Purposive sampling with a final 95 respondents participating in this research. PROCESS V3.5 for SPSS was chosen to analyze and test the hypothesis. The results of the analysis show that celebrity credibility has a significant influence on increasing brand love, and social influence plays an important role in strengthening the relationship between celebrity credibility and brand love.
