The power of suggestion is becoming increasingly powerful in today’s digital age. In fact, research shows that 83% of surveyed individuals are more convinced by recommendations made to them by those they know and trust than recommendations made via traditional advertising.

The research considered, it makes sense as to why companies today are using brand ambassadors more than ever. But what does it mean to be a brand ambassador? Let’s discuss!

What Does It Mean to be a Brand Ambassador?

So, what is a brand ambassador? A brand ambassador is not to be confused with an accredited diplomat sent by a country as its official representative to a foreign country…

Instead, a brand ambassador is an individual who is hired by a company to raise brand awareness and spread brand positivity.

What Does a Brand Ambassador Do?

So, now you know what a brand ambassador is—but what does a brand ambassador do? The number one goal for a brand ambassador is to create a fun, memorable experience for consumers. This can be achieved both on and offline. Over the years, however, social media has become an integral part of a brand ambassador’s role.

Some roles and responsibilities that a brand ambassador might be faced with can include:

• Engaging consumers, exciting them about the mission, and elevating the brand message
• Sparking word-of-mouth about the brand
• Instilling brand education
• Donning branded uniforms or costumes to drive brand awareness
• Conducting product demos
• Distributing marketing materials
