This is exciting!
Six weeks ago, when we first announced the Ambassador Program, I wasn’t sure what the response would be. But even in the early days, the success of the program has exceeded my wildest expectations.
The role of Ambassadors
While it was recently launched, the Ambassador Program has been in the works for some time.
For years, Donovan and I have been gratified to see the tight-knit community that has sprung up around 17hats. Small business owners helping small business owners – that’s what 17hats is all about.
The Ambassador Program looks to capture some of that lightning in a bottle. We’re looking for outgoing, positive-minded folks to socialize the 17hats brand.
Ambassadors will be asked to:
- Engage Engage with 17hats social media with likes, shares, and comments.
- Promote Share good vibes about 17hats in other social media forums.
- Join Join and engage in our Ambassador-only Facebook Group.
- Meet Six times a year, join our Ambassador Zoom call to catch up on the latest.
But it’s not a one-way street. We want our Ambassadors to benefit and grow as well, as part of this experience. Ambassadors will have opportunities for:
- Special 17hats training
- Sponsorship
- Self-promotion
- Content creation
We opened the application window for the program in June. We were blown away by the response!
Hundreds applied
So many of you stepped forward to become 17hats Ambassadors. We now have a small army of small business owners who are ready to share their experience with 17hats, in social media and beyond.
On a personal note, it was great to see all of the members selected as Ambassadors, gathered on our orientation Zoom call. So many enthusiastic and successful people! The energy around 17hats is awe-inspiring. I thank each of you for participating.
Applications are closed
We have made our final decisions on Ambassadors for 2021. We do expect to open the application window again, likely in early 2022.
Look for the badge

Our Ambassadors for 2021 all received this digital badge that they can use to tell the world about their special status.
When you see this logo, you know that it’s a small business owner who stands out for their 17hats expertise, business knowledge, and social media savvy.
By all means, show the love. Support our new 17hats Ambassadors however you can!
All walks of life
Our inaugural class of Ambassadors spans many different service-driven industries. That’s perfect, since 17hats members include so many types of small business owners, from dog walkers to bookkeepers to magicians.
Here are the first 17hats Ambassadors. We are thrilled to announce such wonderful representatives for our brand!
