Driver-ambassador - what it is and how to become one

Many active users of the popular site and applications to find fellow travelers Bla Bla Car are familiar with the beautifully sounded word "ambassador". We will understand what the concept means for this resource, and how it is defined by dictionaries.

The term "ambassador"

Abstracting for a while from "Blah Blah Kar", we will analyze other definitions of this word:

• The ambassador is a purely diplomatic term. This is the name of any official envoy representing a particular country in another state. May be a permanent, plenipotentiary, extraordinary ambassador.
• Representative, participant in negotiations on behalf of a third party.
• A messenger, a messenger of goodwill.
• Promoter at any event.
• A representative of a certain well-known brand, with his life, activity demonstrating the values of the latter. The agreement between the Ambassador and the company does not make him an employee and is not official - it's something like a sponsorship contract. From such a representative does not depend neither the direction of activity nor the budget of the brand - he remains only a representative of the corporation, who shares and propagates the personal value of the brand.

Having disassembled all the definitions of the ambassador, we proceed directly to Bla Bla Car.
