ABOUT THE PROGRAM

SPRAT’s intention with the Corporate Ambassador Program is to create a nation-wide network of ambassadors in corporate to gain human and charitable resources for mobilization of special causes and promote SPRAT’s initiatives and events at their companies and among their friends and family to serve as a platform for professionals to serve the society.

A Corporate Ambassador is a person who is hired by an organization to represent the interests of the organization in a positive light and by doing so help increase its awareness in the general public. The ambassador is meant to embody the organization identity in appearance, demeanor, values and ethics. The key element of a corporate ambassador is his/her ability to use promotional strategies that will strengthen the organization’s relations with the public and influence a large audience to participate in SPRAT’s ideas and initiatives.
