Liquor Brand Ambassadors for Duty-Free, Travel Retail and Events
WWSG supplies trained liquor brand ambassadors who represent spirits, whisky, gin, rum and liqueur brands in airport duty-free stores, travel retail and live events. Our ambassadors combine product knowledge with confident, responsible selling, turning browsing travellers into buyers and building lasting brand awareness.
From our base in Luton, we support brands and retailers across the UK, including busy airport stores at London Luton and London Stansted. Whether you need a permanent counter ambassador, a team for a product launch or promotional staff for a seasonal campaign, we recruit, brief and manage the people for you.
Experienced Brand Ambassadors for Spirits and Liqueurs
A great brand ambassador does more than pour samples. They tell the story behind the bottle, explain how a whisky is made or why a gin tastes the way it does, and guide each customer to the right choice for a gift or a treat.
We recruit ambassadors with retail, hospitality or bar experience and a genuine interest in drinks, including people with mixology and whisky backgrounds. Every ambassador is briefed on your brand, range, key messages and selling approach before their first shift.
- Single malt and blended whisky, gin, rum, vodka, tequila and liqueurs
- Premium, limited edition and travel retail exclusive ranges
- Gift sets and occasion-led selling
Bringing Your Spirits Brand to Life
Travel retail is one of the most powerful places to introduce a spirits brand to new customers. Passengers have time to browse, many are looking for gifts, and they often meet brands they cannot find at home. Our ambassadors make the most of that moment with engaging conversations, confident recommendations and a polished counter presence.
Duty-Free Spirits Promotions and Product Launches
Launching a new expression or running a seasonal campaign needs extra hands, often at short notice. We provide promotional staff and brand ambassador teams for:
- New product and limited edition launches
- Summer, Christmas and other gifting peaks
- Promotional stands, gondola ends and pop-up activations
- In-store events, masterclasses and tasting sessions where licensed
Campaign ambassadors can work alongside our sales associates, cashiers and wine specialists to deliver a joined-up retail team.
Multilingual Ambassadors for International Travellers
Airport customers come from all over the world. Where your passenger mix calls for it, we look for ambassadors with relevant language skills, so customers can ask questions and understand their allowances in a language they are comfortable with. Read why multilingual customer service matters at international airports.
Sampling, Tastings and Mixology Demonstrations
Tasting is often the moment a customer decides to buy. Where the retailer’s premises licence and policies allow sampling, our ambassadors run controlled tastings with measured samples, and they can demonstrate simple serves and cocktails that show how a spirit can be enjoyed.
- Measured, controlled sampling in line with the store’s licence and policy
- Age checks before any sample is offered
- Clean, well-presented tasting stations
- Reporting on activity and customer feedback, agreed with your brand team
Responsible Retailing, Licensing and Age Verification
Selling alcohol carries legal responsibilities. Our brand ambassadors are briefed on the store’s age verification policy and responsible retailing standards before their first shift, and they never compromise on them to make a sale.
- Challenge 25 or the store’s own age verification policy
- Polite refusals when valid photo ID is not provided
- Duty-free allowance guidance for travellers
- Airside security awareness and ID pass vetting where required
For more on till procedures and age checks, see our cashier job description.
How We Recruit and Brief Brand Ambassadors
- Brief: we agree your brand, range, objectives, uniform and the stores or events involved.
- Recruit: we select ambassadors with drinks, retail or hospitality experience and the right personality for your brand.
