Always-on ambassador programs · Service 05 of 05

Campaigns spike and stop.An ambassador programme compounds.

For brands past the launch phase that want a steady presence in their category: a cohort of creators on one charter, posting to a monthly plan, run as a programme with a report every month.

Who this is for

Always-on is the right service when the question is no longer whether influencer marketing works for you, but how to stop starting over every quarter.

Right fitBetter served elsewhere
A category you need to be present in every month, not four weeks a year
You haven't run a campaign yetCampaign management
A product people buy again, where trust builds over time
A few deep relationships, not a cohortBrand Partnership Development
A budget that's annual, not per launch
Platforms, audience and message still undecidedStrategy
What we handle

Five things that run every month.

The charter

One document that says what the programme is for, who the ambassadors are, what they post, what they never post, and how it's measured. Everything else follows from it.

The cohort

Chosen for a year, not a launch: creators whose audience buys the category and who'll still be interesting in month nine. Reviewed every quarter, not in a panic.

The monthly plan

What each ambassador posts this month, tied to what the brand is doing this month, sent before the month starts.

Approvals and go-live

The same queue as a campaign, every month. Nothing posts without your sign-off; disclosures checked, links tested.

The monthly report

What went live, what it did, what changes next month. Short enough to be read, and sent on a fixed date.

What you take away

A year, one month at a time.

What the programme is for: being present in the night-skincare conversation every month of the year, in Spain and the UK, with faces people already associate with the brand.

Who: six ambassadors, three from last year's partnerships and three new, each posting twice a month to a plan sent before the month begins. Cohort reviewed at the end of each quarter.

What it never does: post without your approval, make a claim legal hasn't cleared, or run a piece that reads as an ad for a product the ambassador doesn't use.

Month note

Seven of seven pieces live, all disclosed, all approved on time. The quarterly review from @the.slow.edit.jo is driving more clicks than the restock Reels combined, so month 4 gives it a second cut and moves one Reel to month 5. Nothing needs you before the month 4 plan lands, in the last week of this one.

What a programme never takes over.

    OB
  2. 02

    The cohort. We propose additions and removals; you decide.

    OB
  3. 03

    The budget. Annual and fixed; we plan the months inside it, weighted to your seasons if that's how you sell.

    OB
  4. 04

    The exit. Notice on both sides, written in; delivered months paid.

    OB
  5. 05

    Sign-off on every renewal.

Questions

Before you send the brief.

How many ambassadors?
Enough to be present every month in every market you care about, and few enough that we know each one. The charter fixes the number for the year; the budget and the markets decide it.
What's the minimum term?
A programme is planned for a year. Shorter than that it's a campaign with extra steps, and we'll say so.
How are ambassadors paid?
A monthly fee per ambassador, paid through us: we hold it and release it on delivery each month, so nobody in the cohort is ever chasing an invoice.
What happens when an ambassador stops fitting?
The cohort is reviewed every quarter, and the charter has an exit for both sides. Replacements come from a standing shortlist, so a change is a month, not a restart.
Can a partnership become a programme?
Yes, and it's the usual route: a year of partnerships tells you who belongs in a cohort.
What does it cost?
A monthly fee for running the programme, on top of the ambassadors' fees, not inside them, quoted for the year after the brief.
