Italian term or phrase: parola di

Sounds obvious I know, but I can't think of a good phrase in English for the moment. It's the usual thing a famous person that becomes the name/face of a brand (the Italian "testimonial") for advertising purposes.

The phrase appears in a title:

"Ottima scelta... parola di Mario Rossi"

Any suggestions extremely welcome!

Thanks!
