Professional figures such as good-will and non-profit ambassadors, promotional models, testimonials and brand advocates have formed as an extension of the same concept, taking into account the requirements of every company.
Brand ambassador - Rise of brand managers
Brand ambassador - Era of change From the early- to mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, more firms moved toward adopting brand managers
Brand ambassador - Era of change Over the course of several years, brand managers continued to exist as a medium that would help boost company revenue. In the 1990s, Marketing UK highlighted that brand managers are a part of an "outdated organizational system" while "the brand manager system has encouraged brand proliferation, which in tum has led to debilitating cannibalization and resource constraints." As a result, this system ran its course and was termed as ill-suited for the current environment.
Brand ambassador - Evolution of brand managers to brand ambassadors From the 1990s to early 2000s, brand management itself evolved as brand asset management
Brand ambassador - Evolution of brand managers to brand ambassadors Since their inception, brand ambassadors have acted more as "endorsers" or "brand champions" which is still a relative and evolving term
Brand ambassador - Evolution of brand managers to brand ambassadors Along with profitability, brand ambassadors focus on establishing credibility of a product or service amongst the target audience. This concept is also known as customer engagement; by keeping the customers satisfied with their product or service experience, a brand ambassador ensures that these customers will be loyal to the brand. As a number of marketing strategies have moved into the digital sphere, so have brand ambassadors.
Brand ambassador - Celebrity branding Using celebrities as brand ambassadors is hardly a new concept. Creswell highlights that, "film stars in the 1940s posed for cigarette companies, and Bob Hope pitched American Express in the late 1950s. Joe Namath slipped into Hanes pantyhose in the 1970s, and Bill Cosby jiggled for Jell-O for three decades. Sports icons like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods elevated the practice, often scoring more in endorsement and licensing dollars than from their actual sports earnings."
Brand ambassador - Celebrity branding Cindy Crawford became the new face of Omega, introducing the age of the celebrity brand ambassador
Brand ambassador - Celebrity branding Celebrities are popular and followed by many people so it makes sense that marketers benefit from using them in order to get their message across
Brand ambassador - Self-branding On the other hand, branding one's own product/service creates an instant connection with the audience and helps the brand stand out in comparison to other known brands that use popular celebrities or hire brand ambassadors
Brand ambassador - Goodwill ambassador For example, the United Nations Goodwill Ambassadors include famous celebrities like Angelina Jolie for UNHCR, David Beckham, Shakira for UNICEF, Christina Aguilera for WFP and Nicole Kidman for UN Women.
Brand ambassador - Promotional model They may be required to promote the brand at simply one to many occasions while a brand ambassador is often tied down to one particular brand through the means of a contract over a period of time.Promotional models are required to be physically present at the venue as per the requirements of the marketing campaign, however brand ambassadors are most often referred to as the face of the brand
Brand ambassador - Testimonial On the other hand, a consumer could not always be brand ambassador, since the latter is more commercial and is often considered as a position bound by monetary and professional liabilities
A brand advocate performs functions higher than that of a testimonial and much lower than that of a promotional model or brand ambassador, since brand advocacy implies active participation with the brand involved
