In our lives, we are all surrounded by brands. From waking up in the morning to going off to bed, we consume these brands on a regular basis, so much that we associate our identities to many of these brands.  From the toothpaste we choose to the clothes we wear to the food we eat, the majority of our life choices are because of the Influence these brands have on us.  

Our very own celebrities have gotten the title of Influencers, primarily because they influence us to consume a brand. If we like an actor or a youtube star for that matter, we will consume the brands promoted by them.  

With the latest, Ronaldo & Coca-Cola news, we thought of debunking this whole process in this Podcast Episode.
