When a company presents something for its target customers to associate with their product. The something can range from a catchphrase to a charity campaign to a literal face in the form of a celebrity (real or fictional), the company's Mascot, a normal person (maybe an Insane Proprietor, or someone raising from the dead to advertise, or a member of the company's staff), or an expert in a product-related field (which would be a testimonial). One of the Basic Commercial Types. Often part of Advertising Campaigns. Might overlap with Adam Westing (a creator who parodies themselves and/or something involving them) and The Dead Rise to Advertise. Super-Trope of Celebrity Endorsement (using celebrities to promote products), Character Celebrity Endorsement (using fictional characters to promote Real Life products), and Insane Proprietor (sellers claiming to be mentally insane as an explanation for their low prices). Contrast with Straightforward ads (an ad that says what the product does; no more, no less). Compare with Sex Sells (using fanservice to sell your product, regardless if it fits). |

Darkwing Duck: Both before and after he changed into the The Liquidator, he constantly uses sales pitches with jargon like But Wait, There's More! and Operators Are Standing By. | |

Community: Rick literally becomes this thanks to the process of Corpohumanization. They pay him to legally change his name to "Subway" (the company's name) to use him for advertising. | |

The Peter Serafinowicz Show: Brian Butterfield is a subversion; being a parody of the PI Helpline man, you'd think this was played straight, but everything he advertises is so incompetent it's clear that he really is the only one running each operation. | |

Cream: In the band's heyday, music papers looking for quotes from the members of Cream usually went straight to Clapton, because most journalists were terrified of Baker, and Bruce tended to be either quiet or rather disparaging of the technical abilities of other bands. | |
