WHAT IS AN AMBASSADOR?
An ambassador is someone who is chosen by a company or organization to represent that brand in a positive light in efforts to help increase brand awareness. Choosing ambassadors to represent your school, can be a tremendous asset in marketing and spreading the word. They can significantly extend your marketing reach and impact.
An exceptional ambassador should have the skills to be a good storyteller and presenter. It is important to provide them with the information you want them to communicate to your audience. Allow your ambassadors the access to create opportunities that will promote your school and let them lead in organizing them.
