I believe the answer is:

sloganeer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'invent catchy advertising hooks' is the definition.
I know that 'advertising' relates to this answer.

'person with foresight recruits irish eurovision star' is the wordplay.
'person with foresight' becomes 'seer' (I've seen this in another clue).
'recruits' indicates putting letters inside.
'irish eurovision star' becomes 'logan' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'seer' going around 'logan' is 'SLOGANEER'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
