@movystream A1. Nice one LG #melikey #JVMChat

— jameseasterling (@jameseasterling) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:12:52 GMT-0400 (EDT)

A1: someone who lives and loves the brand. Someone who ‘has’ to talk about it, gets joy out of introducing it to others… #jvmchat

— LUCYrk78 (@LUCYrk78) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:01 GMT-0400 (EDT)

A1. Brand ambassador is someone connected to your brand, supports your vision/mission and spreads your message #JVMChat

— vegecomgirl (@vegecomgirl) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:01 GMT-0400 (EDT)

A1a. Just to be clear IMO employees are not brand ambassadors. #JVMchat

A1. Brand ambassador is a person advocating for an org or idea openly and extensively. Typically not an employee, but could be. #JVMChat

— sprout_sarah (@sprout_sarah) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:29 GMT-0400 (EDT)

A1 a person representing the brand…someone who strongly relates to the brand & can pull the crowd to believe in the brand #jvmchat

— ancitasatija (@ancitasatija) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:32 GMT-0400 (EDT)

— Mabarrows (@Mabarrows) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:37 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@JayVig Yes – A band ambassador has a constructive plan for increasing engagement and/or sales for your product/service. #JVMChat

— AnOrchidInBloom (@AnOrchidInBloom) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:40 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@ungerwoman Word-of-mouth is so crucial! #jvmchat

— ThinkSEM (@ThinkSEM) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:45 GMT-0400 (EDT)

A1) Someone with a legit love of a brand who tells it loud and proud (and consistently). There are paid ones, too, of course. #JVMChat

— ChristinKardos (@ChristinKardos) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:52 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@JayVig @CBarrows A1: Someone/group that is passionate about, supports and believes in growing a brand. #JVMChat

— mikecnco (@mikecnco) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:13:59 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@Mabarrows Like that you used the word “allies.” Great! #jvmchat

— ThinkSEM (@ThinkSEM) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:14:00 GMT-0400 (EDT)

I also believe brand ambassadors are internal (paid) employees…at least, you hope the hires will be #jvmchat

— LUCYrk78 (@LUCYrk78) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:14:01 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@ungerwoman I like how you mentioned “buy out”, I think it’s an important note to make. They remain unique and their own voice #JVMChat

— jacobhenenberg (@jacobhenenberg) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:14:03 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@CBarrows Same here. I think that’s what separates the ambassador from the fan. #JVMChat

— vegecomgirl (@vegecomgirl) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:14:04 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@LUCYrk78 Yes Lucy. Like your A1. #JVMChat

— ChristinKardos (@ChristinKardos) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:14:23 GMT-0400 (EDT)

A1: Brand ambassador is someone that can sell your business by engaging w/ customers, instead of selling AT them like typical sales #jvmchat

— NezarFreeny (@NezarFreeny) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:14:23 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@JayVig doubtful. Employees are the cultural ambassadors for a company. #JVMChat

— GreenChileAdict (@GreenChileAdict) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:14:24 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@sprout_sarah for an employee it would be out of working hours and out of his position no ? #JVMChat

— brunowinck (@brunowinck) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:14:46 GMT-0400 (EDT)

A1: For my particular industry, one of our Brand Ambassadors types are those who love where they live & invite everyone to visit. #JVMChat

@CBarrows employees are the cultural ambassadors. Companies try to make them one but it doesn’t always work. #JVMChat

— GreenChileAdict (@GreenChileAdict) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:15:06 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@JayVig A1 Brand ambassadors are people to authentically & organically love your brand and want to promote or share it to the world #JVMChat

In my world of career services. Our students are our biggest brand ambassadors #jvmchat

— jenleo (@jenleo) Tue Mar 17 2015 13:18:08 GMT-0400 (EDT)

@JayVig then you change roles. You think highly of the product first. You align your values to the company. #JVMChat
