An ambassador program for all lovers of elegant minimalistic designs, Daniel Wellington is known globally as one of today’s market’s best value watch creators. Before influencer marketing was big, Youtubers, models, and more were promoting DW products.

Daniel Wellington perfectly utilizes inbound marketing tactics to tell stories via influencers in an indirect sales-oriented manner. Some of the most notable influencers that have long been promoting DW products include Ayushmann Khurran, JosecZuniga, Selena Gomez, and more.
