Many active users of the popular site and application for finding fellow travelers Bla Bla Car are familiar with the beautiful-sounding word "ambassador". Let's figure out what the concept means for this resource, and how dictionaries define it.

The term "ambassador"

Abstracting from "Blah Blah Car" for a while, let's look at other definitions of this word:

• Ambassador is a purely diplomatic term. This is the name of any official envoy representing a certain country in another state. May be a permanent, plenipotentiary, extraordinary ambassador.
• Representative, participant in negotiations on behalf of a third party.
• Messenger, messenger of goodwill.
• Promoter at an event.
• Representative of a certain well-known brand, demonstrating the values of the latter with his life and activities. The agreement of the ambassador with the company does not make him its employee and is not official - it is something like a sponsorship contract. Neither the direction of activity nor the budget of the brand depends on such a representative - he remains only a representative of the corporation, sharing and promoting personalan example of brand value.

Having analyzed all the definitions of the ambassador, let's go directly to Bla Bla Car.
