Over the years, brand ambassadors have lent a lot of weightage and glamour to various brands, allowing an increase in brand awareness and sales. From influencing brand value to building brand image, ambassadors have played a crucial role in the way we view brands and their philosophy.

But now we have founders, co-founders, and even people from management positions like CEOs, starring in ads for their own brands. This is helping them enhance their personal brand too.
