In an increasingly saturated marketing landscape, one thing is becoming clear: people trust people more than they trust brands. And this past week, two very different—but equally powerful—announcements drove that point home.
First, Sinsang Market, a leading B2B fashion platform in South Korea, announced the launch of their Sinsang Linkers Global Ambassador Program to support their expansion into international markets. Days later, Korea Tourism Organization named actress and breast cancer survivor Hina Khan as its Honorary Brand Ambassador—highlighting not only a powerful personal story, but the ability of one individual to inspire trust and spark global attention.
These aren’t one-offs. They represent a seismic shift in how brands—big and small—are thinking about reach, relevance, and resonance.
And it’s exactly what we’ve been building for at Ambassador.

Ambassador Programs Are No Longer Just “Nice to Have”
For years, brands viewed ambassador and referral programs as marketing side projects. Today, they’re becoming core to growth, retention, and brand advocacy—especially in a world where customer acquisition costs are skyrocketing and trust in digital advertising is falling. Here’s what we’re seeing in the market:- Ambassadors are now brand multipliers: Customers, employees, influencers, and partners all have voices—and audiences. Brands are starting to give them the tools to amplify.
- AI is making programs more intelligent: With the rise of tools like Hiro, brands can now listen to voice, detect sentiment, and trigger personalized actions across referral, loyalty, and incentives.
- B2B is catching up to B2C: Platforms like LinkedIn are fueling the rise of employee advocacy and professional ambassador programs in traditionally conservative industries.
From Transactions to Conversations
We call it Conversational Commerce, and it’s the heart of the Ambassador platform. It means moving beyond static touchpoints and building real-time, feedback-driven relationships with the people who matter most: your customers, fans, and advocates. Here’s how leading brands are using Ambassador to power this transformation:- Launching real-time referral and affiliate programs that reward the right behaviors at the right time
- Activating influencers and ambassadors using no-code workflows and automated reward triggers
- Capturing voice-based feedback through Hiro to identify advocates and reduce churn
- Deploying incentives that drive reactivation and upsell within minutes—not months
