In Episode 9, I have the pleasure of interviewing the legendary Simon Ford & Tim Cooper. Simon, one of this industry's original rockstar Brand Ambassadors and now the proud owner of Ford's Gin, along with Tim Cooper, an NYC bartender, turned Brand Ambassador and now the Director of Advocacy.
In this show we discuss:
- Biggest difference in work-life balance between being a brand ambassador and being a bartender
- Why should you interview the company you are thinking of working for as intensely as they interview you.
- What has changed in the BA role since the early 2000’s
- Tim discusses why sales is an essential part of the BA’s responsibilities.
- The challenges faced when your brand is purchased by a large company.
- Words of wisdom for those who are Brand Ambassadors or looking to become one.
