Brand Ambassador

Meet our brand ambassadors! 

The best way to see how our products perform in the field is to see how other sound professionals use them day to day. That’s why we partner with some of our customers who are using our gear in unique ways and sharing their experience on social media. Meet our brand ambassadors below, and be sure to follow them!  

How we select our brand ambassadors 

Some of the criteria we look for when choosing someone to be a brand ambassador includes: currently working in the professional sound industry, a Sound Devices fan, actively posting to social media multiple times per week, tagging Sound Devices in posts, having more than 2,000 followers and steadily gaining more, and having high-quality photo/video gear and experience with social brand promotion. We don’t take inquiries or solicitations for brand ambassadors but seek them out ourselves when we have openings in our program.
