The clothing brand Gymshark has a program and sponsors athletes that follow their guidelines. Their brand became more than just clothing, they promote a way of living and feeling comfortable when exercising, walking, running, or doing all sorts of activities using their products. Any fitness brand ambassador that works with Gymshark is included in an affiliate program and each one of them receives a percentage if people use their affiliate link to purchase products from the online store. This way, the brand made a system to reward ambassadors that promote the product and encourage people to do purchase online.

There are lots of ways for a brand to collaborate with ambassadors or influencers, that have their own audience and can bring you lots of benefits. Another example of brand ambassador program is from the Italian clothing Bluamore that collaborated with the fashion blogger and fashion influencers Cristina Surdu and created a line branded with her name. This is a more complex and more focused type of brand ambassador. It is a combination/ synergy between brand ambassador campaign and influencer marketing strategy.

The Wings Team collaborates with members that are considered “opinion leaders” in their communities. Members are trusted and well known amongst their peers, and Red Bull’s strategy of combining high energy ambassadors with their high energy brand results in a deep connection between company and consumer.
