When embarking on a brand ambassador initiative it’s critical to realize that your brand needs to be seen as a lifestyle, not a product manufacturer. Nescafé does not simply sell coffee. It sells an image and a lifestyle. And Nescafé fans love to discuss, Tweet and Instagram their lattes.
The only way to attract brand ambassadors who will genuinely want to endorse you is by making them feel like they’re part of your brand’s mission. Even if your brand is one that might seem mundane to most, focus on the bigger picture of how your service or product can impact your consumers’ lives in positive ways.
By creating a lifestyle around your brand, you can begin to build up what’s known as a “social audience”. This is a crucial first step as you will need to cull your existing fan base to choose “super fans” who have potential to act as ambassadors.
