Brand names are such an integral part of culture that it is difficult to go for even a few minutes without using some item that has a brand name on it. That means the competition among brand names is often quite fierce. A brand ambassador is a person who interacts directly with the public, especially with the intended buyers of the product you are trying to sell.
At the same time, a promo model presents an image that you want to be associated with your brand. The amount of time a brand ambassador spends with each prospective customer will vary depending on the setting and the time allotted. However, the fact that it is a personal, one-to-one interaction impresses the customer.
On the web there are many people who, consciously or not, act as spontaneous brand ambassadors for many products and services.

A brand ambassador of such kind could act as a great resource to collect and gather valuable feedback and criticism from other customers while being he a great advisor to any company product development office. Brand ambassadors would also be key in showcasing and promoting new products while utilizing communication approaches that are more in tune with how successful companies are communicating today on the web and across social media.
