This is what will make you and your brand stand out

For one to stand out on a particular event, class, or whatever it may be. One must be almost perfect, the smartest, the most different, or the most evident. But what if you aren’t the smartest inside a room, not the prettiest, or even not feeling that special, how would you stand out? Well it’s just like marketing, there are a lot of brands to compete with. There are the big companies, the unique ones, and the one that sells the essential ones. How can you compete or be on par with these brands if you’re only starting? Will you just surrender and let yourself be insecure of how big or popular they are or are you willing to do something different to make you, yourself, or even your brand stand out. There are many ways for a person to stand out, but in order to do that one must know where or what he/ she’s good at. One must have the passion and will to grow and succeed. Without those traits then it’ll be harder for you to become your best self and it’ll be harder for you to succeed.

Why am I even saying this? What is the relevance of this to our topic brand ambassador? Yes there is. First is if you want to really stand out or compete with strong contenders, you have to really know yourself, what you want, what you can give, and what you can do. Those are what you need to figure out because by it you’ll be able to understand the options that there are for you in order for you to succeed. In digital marketing, where in social media the trend will still be the trend for the upcoming years, there are a lot of competitors. They’re scattered around the social media platforms and it gives your brand a hard time reaching out to wider audiences, how do you compete with it? It’s just the same as my example with you identifying yourself first. You have to identify the goals of your brand, the goals that you want to have and after those you’ll be able to come up with a strategy. And that is Influencer Marketing Strategy.

 

Influencer marketing strategy is where your company hires an influencer may it be a popular celebrity or just a regular person who can wield the power to influence a greater audience, to make them trust and believe in buying the brand or services that they are promoting. And one of those is what we call BRAND AMBASSADOR. A brand ambassador is a type of influencer where a person advertises or is promoting your brand and company without being paid or accepting monetary fee. They increase awareness of a brand by publicly representing their products. They act as spokespeople, attempting to influence a community to buy a company’s services. This had led companies to their successes. It helped them outgrew their competitors, and achieve their targeted goals. This just happened because they were able to identify their company’s goals, strategy, and program. So if you wanna stand out for your brand, or you want to be someone who can be of help to others brands, you may choose to become a Brand Ambassador.

Like I’ve said it’s important to have knowledge of what it is. There are different kinds of brand ambassadors: celebrity and social media influencer. The celebrities obviously are famous people capable of reaching broader audiences while the social media influencers are the common people who have great power as well to influence other people with the brands that they’re endorsing. There is also what you call an online- and in-person brand ambassador. 

 

An online ambassador works through social media platforms like Instagram to raise awareness about a company. Typical tasks include: 

• Posting about a product on your social media platforms
• Posting an online message boards or chat groups
• Writing reviews on customer review sites
• Reviewing a product on your blog
• Inviting Friends to events through social media

 

An in-person brand ambassador works at a large gathering of marketing events and they spread awareness via word-to-mouth. Their tasks include:

• Distributing stickers or posters
• Wearing anything that says about their brand
• Provides samples
• Running errands for the events
