Spokesperson:

A person hired by a brand to deliver consistent messaging about the company to the media and public. They are known as the "face" of a brand.

A brand’s spokesperson is in charge of clearly communicating relevant information that the public needs (or wants) to know.

A spokesperson can help a brand gain awareness and credibility. However, a wrongly chosen spokesperson could be unreliable or overshadow your brand.

If you decide hiring a spokesperson is right for your brand, make sure you ask yourself these questions so you pick the right one:

  • What does your ideal spokesperson look like?
  • How many spokespersons does your brand need?
  • What channels will your spokesperson be using?
  • What tone of voice do you want them to convey?

Brands like Pepsi have taken this to a whole new level by inviting celebrities to become advertising spokespersons on a temporary basis.

Celebrities like Michael Jackson, Beyonce, and Nicki Minaj have all been spokespersons for Pepsi.
