Patrick De Pauw discusses the importance of online ambassadorship for businesses. He notes that traditional advertising is no longer effective as people pay less attention to ads. Ambassadorship, where brand advocates voluntarily spread the word about a company, is more influential since people trust recommendations from friends and family. It allows for much broader reach at a lower cost than traditional marketing methods. De Pauw outlines Social Seeder's approach to activating ambassadors through content creation and messaging to amplify a brand's message and boost awareness.
