Just as H&M introduced H&M League to turn influencers into brand ambassadors, it is now launching H&M Insiders as an "internal ambassador program" made up of its own style-conscious employees. The H&M Employee Ambassador program in the United States includes 15 employees from stores and offices across the country, selected based on the content they share, as well as their, personality, location, brand values and style.
With the H&M Insiders program, fashion fans will be able to get to know people like Morenike, who loves daring dresses, skirts, oversized silhouettes and bold accessories, or Chanique who describes her style as "everyday casual with a divided twist of street fashion."
Through this program, the employee ambassadors will be sharing outfits and home decorating content, as the retailer also has an H&M Home branch.
