The aim of this study is to brand image (visualization) with emphasis on the guiding factors of sport celebrities in media advertising. the research method is descriptive - survey and it is applicable in terms of purpose. Sample size was estimated at 385 persons according to the Cocran formula. In order to collect data, the questionnaire was used. Validity and reliability of the questionnaires were approved. The data were analyzed by using the LISREL software by path analysis test. The Results showed that the effect of celebrity on brand image is 0.12, the proportion of celebrity on brand image is 0.27 and the activity of celebrity on brand image is 0.28. Therefore, we conclude that using sport - based people in advertising does not involve increasing sales and achievement; famous sport celebrities have more acceptance and effectiveness when customers select a product in search of a form of imitative relationships and similarity with salient and specific characters. For the sake of fame, glory and other achievements as reference groups and by providing image, credit and reputation to a business company, they increase the awareness of the audience, encourage them to buy products that will eventually succeed in the business company.
