What is a Brand Ambassador?

A brand ambassador is a type of influencer, which is a person who has a successful social media “life.” They may have anything from a few thousand to millions of followers for a YouTube channel, TikTok account, Facebook page, or Instagram account.

These influencers have a loyal following who care about what the influencer does with their online world. Influencers may specialise in using different beauty products, in wild camping and hiking, have a special skill, or work in a satisfying job. 

Brand ambassadors are influencers who companies recruit specifically to use (and encourage the sale of) their products. When the brand ambassador’s loyal followers see them using the product, they are likelier to buy it.

In a broad sense, the Royal Family are brand ambassadors for the whole of the UK. You might associate Kevin Bacon with Footloose or by his frequent adverts with EE. Other top brand ambassadors in the UK include Alan Sugar, Wayne Rooney, and recently Gwendoline Christie promoting Highland Park Whisky.
