Keith Jenkins

A former investment banker, Keith charted a new path in 2008 with his Velvet Escape luxury travel blog. In 2011, he founded iambassador and began offering marketing services.

Frits de Graaf

Reporting to the iambassador Management Team, a small network of regional marketing specialists is responsible for marketing, client/creator relationships and project management in their respective markets, whilst a Support Team assists with IT and administrative operations.
our global network
The iambassador network consists of established travel content creators. Many of them are award-winning professionals who transitioned from successful careers in other fields, bringing a wealth of knowledge from diverse sectors. The work of these expert storytellers, marketers, photographers, and videographers has been featured by media outlets such as CNN, BBC, National Geographic, Lonely Planet, and Huffington Post, and has appeared in countless online and print publications.
Members of the iambassador network are selected based on a variety of criteria including the quality of their content, experience with the tourism industry, reach and engagement.
Most importantly, at iambassador, we go the extra mile to get to know the people we work with to ensure successful teamwork, seamless execution and alignment of values and objectives.
