Short answer

A brand ambassador is a creator or customer in a long-term relationship with a brand who repeatedly promotes it, often under exclusivity. Unlike one-off sponsorships, ambassador programs build sustained association and trust. Ambassadors may receive payment, products, commissions or perks, and typically represent the brand across content, events and community activities.
