As part of its 25th anniversary celebrations, imaging retailer Wex has launched The Ambassador Network, the company’s first ambassador programme.
The 12-month programme will see six carefully selected Ambassadors offering ‘unique insight to their careers and processes, practical behind-the-scenes advice and creative inspiration, with the aim to encourage and support one another and the wider community.’
The first-ever Wex Ambassadors are Jenny Alice, Aneesa Dawoojee, Tom Mason, Alys Tomlinson, Ron Timehin and Daniel Regan.
Thought-provoking content
They will collaborate with Wex to create a range of, ‘thought-provoking content in their own unique styles, using a variety of equipment and techniques.’
Focusing on current trends, passions and interests, the content will include photography and videos featured on Wex’s website and social channels, and will be further supported with events and news articles.
Paul Wareham, marketing director at Wex, said, ‘We wouldn’t be here without the talented professionals with whom we’ve collaborated with over the last 25 years and we want to celebrate the fantastic community we’ve built. This year, the Wex Ambassador Network will promote and support these six incredible creatives through their endeavours and we are extremely excited about the content we are going to create, the relationships we will build and the potential growth of the programme over the coming years.’
